Penang is the melting pot of cultures (and therefore cuisines) with a very diverse cultural background blended and assimilated into a unique traditions and foods. It is very rare that one can find a harmonious mix of different cuisines of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous communities. As this city also has a big populations of foreigners and expatriates, there are also a huge varieties of different cuisines of different countries. I always encourage tourists and visitors to try all the food from the different communities - this is why you venture out to try new things. But at the same time if any of my guests missed their usual favorite home country food, I can recommend good eating places for food of their country of origin. Malaysia Truly Asia. Penang has it all. The international media and hospitality guide. Time Out has crowned Penang as the No. 1 Best Street Food City in Asia. Some highlights must-try classics are Char Kuey Teow, Assam Laksa, Roti Canai and Hokkien Mee.

What are people saying about Penang

TatWah_L, Sep 2026

Not to be missed

The boat departure point for the island is Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, which was about an hour's drive away from Georgetown (from being picked up at 8am). The boat runs on a schedule so we did have to wait about half an hour once we arrived at the departure point, but that time was easily filled by going into the small visitor centre they have there. The boat ride is only a few minutes and you get about an hour on the island itself. A resident warden/guide took us around, telling us stories about the Orang-utans and the conservation work. Our guide Ronnie also accompanied us, he tried to entice the animals nearer with fruit bribes! - he is an experienced guide and knows the individual Orang-utans and their personalities. This was an amazing trip, well worth doing. Ronnie in particular was a great guide, we learnt a lot from him during the trip about Penang and Malaysia in general, not just about the Orang-utans. Highly recommended. Also recommend that you take some mosquito/insect spray with you!

Do yourself a HUGE favor- book it!!

Incredible experience! You will try many local dishes that are nothing short of amazing and that you most likely wouldn’t have tried otherwise on your own. We travel quite a bit and do food tours all over the world - this easily ranks in the top two. Our guide Sandy was beyond amazing. It was my husbands birthday and she made it so awesome - had him experience a traditional Chinese birthday, everyone sang to him and he got a piece of Duran (local fruit (yuck)) cake.

Joey skillfully created a 6-hour private tour for us in Penang during our day trip from Singapore yesterday. Before meeting him at the airport, we were worried about doing too much or too little during the tour, but he included just the right number of attractions. We, of course, wished we'd had a bit more time to explore other sites, and at the same time, we were so glad he didn't try to show us more, because visiting a few significant sites in a day was just enough for our style of travelling.

Great trip with Eddie and Henry

This was such a fun activity. We went at the pace the group wanted. Excellent transport to and from the venue (with a very kind detour, suggested by Henry our driver so some of the group got to visit another attraction). Eddie our guide was brilliant - good at explaining things we saw. His sense of humour was amazing. I'd highly recommend this activity 👌

Bukit Merah Orang Utan and Penang City Private Tour

Orangutan Tour with Jackie - 5 Stars!!

Absolutely — here’s a shorter, punchier version: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jackie was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, friendly and clearly passionate about Penang. He shared wonderful stories and history throughout the trip, making the hour-long journey to Orangutan Island fly by. He brought fruit for the orangutans, which encouraged them to come closer and gave us some amazing photo opportunities. We also crossed both bridges to Butterworth and enjoyed a tour around Georgetown. Jackie’s love for his country really shines through. We highly recommend Jackie for an unforgettable Penang experience!

A flexible tour with a knowledgeable and interesting guide to suit all ages in our group.

A full day with varied activities to keep everyone interested. Max was a wonderful guide, we had pretty bad weather but he changed the activities seamlessly to suit our group. Max was unbelievably knowledgeable about the places we visited and both history and current life in Penang. He was able to keep all members of our group interested throughout. We were very impressed with the whole day, we loved the food from the hawker centre and there were choices to please the fussiest of children. Thank you Max for a wonderful day.

Great morning around the city!

What a fun way to get around and see the city - on a motorbike food tour with Jacky. Helmets on, we sped around to the local food market, had a roti starter, Malay Prawn dish, Chinese duck noodles, Indian Tikka Chicken and the most interesting dessert I think I have ever had…. Jacky was great, fun and ensured we were safe driving around the city. Thoroughly recommend!
