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.

What are people saying about Penang

Paul_C, Jul 2026

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!

Nyonya cooking class is a treat

We did the Nyonya cooking class. This was not just a culinary experience, it was a cultural immersion too. Amy and Mok were so generous with their personal stories as well as their cooking tips. It was a tightly controlled and carefully paced class. This is one of the best cooking classes I have ever done. I highly recommend it. One tip... don't eat beforehand!

The Best Tour Guide Ever- Mr. Eng Choon Wooi

Mr. Eng Choon Wooi is the best tour guide i have ever come across in the 20 counties i have visited and the over 100 tours i have done all around the world. As a local and a guide in Penang for over 10 years, Mr. Eng Choon Wooi knew exactly where to take us in our private and customisable tour. We felt like VIPs skipping the queues, his charisma is unmatched, he made us laugh so many times and told us secrets that only Mr Wooi and the locals would know. In the our wonderful 6 hour tour, he showed us all the best areas in Penang, explained to us in detail about each of our spots, the history of not just Penang but Malaysia as a whole, he took several photos for my mum and myself at all the very best areas and went above and beyond and took care of us in every way like we were special, he made us feel special.. I have been on great tours but I don't think there will be a better tour guide then Mr. Eng Choon Wooi. He truly stands out as the best. Thank you Mr. Eng Choon Wooi, i will recommend you to everyone who wants the best tour period!

Private Half-Day George Town History Tour

Johnny_G, Apr 2026

I see why Georgetown is a UNESCO Site

Muhammad picked me up promptly in a very comfortable vehicle. He is very well versed in the history of Georgetown/Penang. I particularly enjoyed brunch with him in a locals restaurant. Seeing Harmony road, the mansion, and the museum were real treats. The murals around town are a must see.
