"I booked this food tour as a birthday present for a friend and her partner. They both had a great time with Siddoz! They are both vegetarian and Siddoz did a great job of accommodating and making sure they could still try loads of great dishes! "

Knowledgeable and tasty tour
"Manjeet was an amazing host. She shared her favourite dishes paired with history, which was perfect for 3 Australians and a Malaysian (who is less familiar with history). She was flexible and open to some customisation. I would recommend her to anyone who enjoys meals with a foodie. We left absolutely bursting. "

Brilliant Food and great company
"Faris knows food and knows how to bring that knowledge to a trip around the culinary secrets of KL
He has a vast knowledge of not only the food you are eating but also can tell you how to prepare it and its history and origins
He allows you time to browse a few shops and seems to just enjoy being out doing something that he loves.
He freely admits that he is not a history buff and although he is happy to talk about KL he really comes alive when he is explaining about the food you are eating. To be fair there is too much food we took some back to the hotel with us for later ( think Christmas dinner stuffed) and you get the idea
I can’t praise him enough and would highly recommend him He even gave us a lift back to our hotel and regaled us with tales of his cooking experiences abroad whilst we sat in traffic
A great trip"

Food Tasting with Ruth - Kuala Lumpur
"We tried the food tasting with Ruth on the first day of arriving at KL and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Ruth took us to some great places around the central market and Petling street along with a few stops at some of the local sites. She was extremely friendly and the food was great. She even bought my gf a birthday present as this experience was booked as a birthday present for her. Highly recommend Ruth for anyone visiting KL in the future and wanting to get a locals take on the area 😊"

Absolutely wonderful food tour!
"Siddoz was a fabulous guide- he took us to numerous delicious stops, expertly tailoring the experience to be a good fit for two vegetarians. The food was absolutely delicious, the conversations interesting and we learned a lot about the history and culture of the areas we were eating in. Also, the value for price was perfect! We were so full we had to ask to take away food from the last 2-3 spots and they easily accommodated us. Now we have ample leftovers as well of delicious food. Highly recommend booking with Siddoz! "

Amazing Experience!
"100% would recommend this tour with TK. The food was incredible, the stories even better and the company outstanding. We will be doing more tours with TK when we return to Malaysia."
"We met TK outside the Central Market and he took us round the food section explaining about different local foods.
TK was interesting and engaging, taking us to some interesting places and sampling some great street food including the ‘pigs intestine noodles’, which were great and the Tom Yam noodles, which were very tasty, along with a tea/coffee drink and a very unhealthy but tasty salad!
When we are back in KL, we will be booking another tour with TK so that we can taste more street food. "
