Overview

Exploring a night market is a classic Kuala Lumpur experience, but diving into the maze of stalls and stands can be overwhelming if you don't speak Malay. Visit a night market with a guide for tips on what to eat, drink, and shop for as you mingle with the crowd, then get a distinctive twist on Malay flavors at a Mamak restaurant that’s another great spot to rub shoulders with locals.

Fabulous tour. Amazing good!

Brendan_O, Jul 2023

A great tour with the fabulous Kumar. It was really great to taste the foods of the 3 different ethnicities - Muslim, Indian & Chinese. Kumar really brought the tour to life and was a great source of knowledge on Malaysia in general, historically and economically. The food was amazing! We were probably a bit too full by the time we made it as far as Chinatown. Make sure you arrive hungry!!

Not what we expected

Wyn_B, Mar 2023

Started off okay, experiencing an authentic food stall with teh ais and roti canai, but when downhill from there - spent $240 Aauf for the tour, but only had $50 AUD budget for food and drinks. The guide was nice enough, but really not worth it in our opinion sorry.

Louis was AMAZING!!!

Shannon_M, Dec 2022

Louis was our tour guide and he was AMAZING! He took us to a variety of neighborhoods where we were able to sample some of the best street food that Malaysia has to offer! Not only should you definitely book your tour with Louis but please come hungry because you will definitely be full by the end of the night! Louis was patient, informative and he made sure to acknowledge all of our allergies. It was a perfect tour!

Excellent opportunity to taste food...

Regina B, Jan 2018

Excellent opportunity to taste food from the region. WARNING!!! Don't eat before you go. There were so much food to taste that I had a lot to take back to my hotel room for the evening. I would highly recommend this tour.

Little appealing

Jose_R, Aug 2025

Did not correspond to the announced for this tour. Basically we tasted local food in a small restaurant and then we were thrown into the petaling street night market on our own. It's not worth the money spent. The driver who was also the guide was very kind and helpful.
