"It wasn't fancy at all — but it was real. Forget the fine dining for one night. This is where the magic happens."

— Bethan_M, United Kingdom

★★★★★

Five dishes. Five neighborhoods. One local who knows exactly where to go.

The best bites in this city are still secret. We know the people. They'll take you there. On the back of their bike.

5 star rated at Google , GetYourGuide, Tripadvisor and Viator

01

Not the tourist spots

The places we take you don't appear in guidebooks. They appear in the memories of every Penangite who grew up here.

02

Best of the Best

Food is great everywhere in Penang. We've spent years finding the version of each dish that makes everything else feel like a compromise.

03

Back of the motorbike

Five locations in four hours. The only way to do that honestly — without rushing a single bowl — is on a bike. Your host knows every shortcut.

04

No performance

The uncle at the wok isn't performing. He has been doing this since before you were born. You're not visiting his world. We make you part of it.

05

Five courses, five neighborhoods

Each of the best dishes has a home. We take you to the right one — and every ride between them is Penang you'd never see on your own.

"Scenery we would never have covered on our own. The riders were extremely experienced, friendly and knowledgeable."

— Debra A, Leicestershire, United Kingdom ★★★★★

"We went to six stops instead of five — there was an Indian procession that closed the streets around one of the food courts. After enjoying a bonus stop, we went back to finish the original plan anyway. We ended the evening totally stuffed."

— smatso, Phoenix, Arizona ★★★★★

Koay Teow Th'ng on Penang Street Food Tour – 4-Hour Immersive Experience in George Town

The best food in Penang isn't in a restaurant. It’s eaten on a plastic chair at a folding table, served by someone who’s perfected a single dish for forty years.

Our tour takes you off the tourist trail and into the residential heart of the island. On the back of a motorbike, we cover five different neighborhoods and five iconic dishes in four hours—the only way to see the real Penang without rushing a single bowl.

We don't do fixed routes or "blogged-about" stalls. We follow the food, not an itinerary. Whether you’re here for a few hours on a cruise excursion or a week-long stay, we'll take you to places the guidebooks haven't found yet.

4 Hours. 5 Neighborhoods. 5 Courses. Everything included (Food, Drinks, Beer). No cash, no crowds, no tourist traps.
