Experience Food Tours in Penang with Withlocals

"Fantastic day with Lisa in George Town visiting restaurants and stalls we would never have visited on our own. Lisa was great fun and really insightful about the food, how it was cooked and about life as a local. Due to both Ramadan and Chinese new year some of the places were full or unable to get ingredients but Lisa always had a plan b option To ensure we had a great day. Thoroughly recommended, thank you "

"Our experience on Lisa’s street food walking tour couldn’t have been bettered, from the pre-walk communication to the tour itself. Lisa’s knowledge of Georgetown and its vast array of cuisines and dishes on offer helped us navigate the somewhat overwhelming sight which confronts a first time visitor. We went to food stalls, restaurants and cafes and tried food and drinks we would never have considered and began to understand the history and culture behind the dishes and the people who live here. Lisa also was able to adapt to the needs of our family where one has a mushroom allergy and 2 are pescatarians. Additionally, Lisa was also very helpful in suggesting other experiences in Georgetown and Penang. I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa’s food tour. "

"Lisa was the consummate host who made us feel so welcome and was more than happy to alter her tour to suit my food allergies. Lisa knows so much about Penang & the people’s relationship with food. Food is part of their language and Lisa emphasised the importance of food to the good people of Penang. We tried a varied range of tastes & textures, savoury & sweet dishes. The locals all know Lisa & respect her. You can see that she has a good relationship with all of the vendors. We highly recommend Lisa for this Street Food Experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. "

"We hit the jackpot with Remy, with his passion for local food and history, we left the tour with happy bellies and great stories of Penang and the surrounding area. As a Texan-Singaporean couple who live in Europe, we really appreciated that Remy had the wherewithal to customise an itinerary that satisfied our cravings while keeping it authentic. Every bite came with a bit of culture and context - highly recommend! "

"Lisa gave us a great culinary tour around the old town with an excellent range of dishes. She is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about the place. Most impressively she coped very well with a fairly unruly gang of 4 seasoned and opinionated Asian expats?"

"Lisa is very knowledgeable about the food of Penang, introducing us to local specialities and sharing her knowledge and experience of cooking in Malaysia. It was a lovely afternoon, walking, eating and talking. Lisa brings an outside/inside view of Penang which makes her tour even more interesting. We would highly recommend Lisa for your food tour."

"We had the pleasure to dive into the different foods of Penang with Lisa’s 10 tasting of Penang tour. And what a pleasure it was! Lisa brought us closer to Penangs food influenced by the different cultures and we had a chance to explore Indian, Malaysian and Chinese food and a mixture of all. It was fun spending the evening with her learning not only about the food but as well about life in Penang, She took good care of us ensuring that our preferences were taken into consideration. If you want to explore the different foods of Penang paired with the story behind and a fun evening this is the right tour for you. We can highly recommend this tour with Lisa"

"Thinking of this just as a food tour was an understatement. Remy has a kindness and approachability that will make anyone feel welcome. He guided us around Penang to try authentic high quality dishes whilst explaining the story and area around where we ate. Remy made us feel like we were visiting a friend, not just a guide and any tour with him I believe will be unforgettable."

"Lisa was a perfect host and made the food tour one of our absolut highlights in Gerogetown. She chose a great selection of different foods reaching from Indian to Malasian dishes, it was a tasty combination of savory and sweet dishes, as well as a great selection of drinks accompanying the food. But not only the food was amazing also the places we ate at contributed hugely to our experience, reaching from food stalls, restaurants, to a night market. We tried so many things and learned so much about food in Penang in such a short time. Last but not least, Lisa herself is such a lovely, interesting person. She shared a lot of her own experience about living in Penang with us, making the tour about much more than just food. We would definitely tour with her again and can recommend her 100%."

"Lisa took my two boys (14 and 11) on a wonderful tasting tour within Georgetown. She was very patient with the questions my kids sent her way (not all relevant) and catered to some of their tastes and requests as well. She was also very gracious and kind when I managed to dump tea all over myself and break a cup in the process. The tour was on foot but not at all strenuous even in Penang's heat. The tastings themselves were tasty and varied but, unlike many food tours, the boys and I weren't stuffed to the gills at the end of it. A very enjoyable evening and a great way to dive into the delish dishes Penang is known for. "
