Experience tomorrow the best of
Penang with Withlocals

"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. "

"My partner and I enjoyed a wonderful few hours with Lisa. She was able to tailor the tour to our needs, we are both vegetarian, plus I have an intolerance for chilli, so extra challenging! Despite this, she took us to some incredible spots, and we tried foods we would never have explored on our own. Lisa gave us some brilliant tips on other places to eat for the remainder of our stay. She was really lovely company, sharing lots of gems and insights about the local Region. Thank you Lisa for creating a truly memorable experience during our trip to Malaysia. It was a real highlight for us! "

"A super nice afternoon with Remy Great food and good informative conversation Highly recommended "

"We really enjoyed our time with Remy and highly recommend him as a guide for your food tour. He is a very knowledgeable guide who took us on a stroll through his hometown, stopping here and there to explain some historical or cultural background, pointing out special places and, of course, introducing us to the most amazing dishes and drinks. We appreciated that he always offered a vegetarian option. Time passed way too quickly. Thank you for the great evening!"

"We had a truly wonderful evening with Remy. He picked us up from the hotel and immediately created a great atmosphere and a lot of warmth. We tried many different dishes and were thrilled. We couldn't possibly finish everything! He also gave us some great tips for other excursions in Penang. It was a cheerful, relaxed evening that we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you so much! 🤩😘🙋🏻"
