Om den här aktiviteten
After meeting your guide at a central Kuala Lumpur location, easily accessible by the city’s Light Rail Transit, your small-group food tour begins as you board an air-conditioned vehicle for the drive to the KL neighborhood of your guide’s choice (the neighborhood(s) you visit are up to your expert guide and will vary based on the day of the week).
One such neighborhood you may visit is the Bangsar area, which boasts a wide array of food spots like mamak stalls serving traditional Tamil-Muslim cuisine, South Indian banana-leaf restaurants serving delectable treats on a banana leaf, and Malay warungs (small family-owned establishments serving both local and Western snacks). Or, you might head to Petaling Jaya, where you’ll visit a ‘round-the-clock hawker center (open-air food court) to try food from select stalls frequented by locals. Another possible destination is Brickfields, a popular hawker center famous for its South Indian restaurants and Chinese coffee shops serving traditional Chinese fare like dim sum.
No matter where you end up, rest assured that you’ll have a vibrant KL experience. As you follow your guide’s lead, you’ll weave through alleys and around food stalls with ease, knowing your guide will order your food and make sure you taste the most delicious dishes of the day (or night). Try nasi lemak, a fragrant coconut rice with chili paste, anchovies, peanuts and vegetables. Or maybe you’ll have stir-fried Chinese noodles; an assortment of Indian breads with chicken, fish and mutton curry; or Malaysian desserts such as ondeh ondeh, rice balls with palm sugar and coconut shavings. As you are introduced you to local favorites, you’ll experience interesting Malaysian customs with the comfort of a guide who knows all the ins and outs of KL’s food culture.
At the end of the tour, you’ll be driven back to the original meeting point.

loved the experience, a must to do.
Wow! Probably the best money I've ever spent on a tour. Charlie, our guide, was so enthusiastic about the food, history and cultures of Malaysia. He showed us three different areas of Kuala Lumpur while taking us to three eating places and then through a street food market while having us taste samples of noodles and fruit. He then drove us to our respective hotels as the metro was closing. This is a must do for visitors of KL and I hope you have Charlie as a guide. You won't regret your decision! Beverly Bradley USA
Good to get out into the suburbs and be taken to three different eating places to experience Malay, Chinese then Indian food. Ken was an enthusiastic guide and the conversation was stimulating. Gave piece of mind to try new dishes. A great night.
This tour was a gastronomic and really fun experience from beginning to end. Our tour guide Ken was fantastic, with excellent local knowledge and a lovely sense of humour. We visited three food markets - open air Malay and Chinese, and an Indian restaurant. The food and local drinks were divine fragrant goat stew, melt in the mouth skewers of marinated chicken and beef with satay sauce, delicious coconut rice with boiled egg, crunchy peanuts, and spicy sauce wrapped in a banana leaf, local vegetables cooked in scrumptious spices, melt in the mouth banana coconut pancake, spicy dips with roti, and much more! Not only was the food amazing, but the opportunity to eat with the locals in the atmosphere, colour, and buzz of the food markets was a delight in itself. Plus, learning how and what to eat set us up beautifully to enjoy the local cuisine for the rest of our stay in Kuala Lumpar. Being dropped off at our hotel after the tour was much appreciated. Don't miss this!
Food was ok.
