A big thank you to Karlson who made our food tour both enjoyable and informative. We had an interesting selection of food: Indian, Chinese and Malaysian. Karlson introduced us to new flavours as well as the history of each place visited and the local surroundings. Highly recommend.

Until then, have a wonderful holiday and safe travel too
We tried some amazing and different foods you wouldn’t get anywhere else. Eating at local spots no tourists has seen. The tour guide (Ari) is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Malaysia (food, history, politics, etc) and if there is anything specific that you want to try he will go out of his way to get it for you.
Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review - much appreciated ! We are delighted to hear that you had amazing & different food at the unique non-touristy local favourite hideouts and your guide Ari shared on the food, history & politics too 😍. Yes we are not just about the food but very passionate to share the why, what, where & how too 💕. We look forward to re-hosting you whenever you re-visit with more hidden gems. Till then happy holidays & safe travels too 👍
Karlson was a fantastic guide on this tour. He was extremely personable and knowledgeable and made it a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a more personal and localised food experience. Thanks Karlson!

It was an extremely enjoyable evening. The culinary experience will long be remembered. This was our first excursion based on local food. Our guide knew all about the cooking process for the food he suggested for us. It was educational and enjoyable. We highly recommend the trip.
Thank you very much for your awesome review. Glad that you had an extremely enjoyable evening on your first adventure with local food - not just enjoying the food but knowing its cooking process too. We hope you revisit soon. Thank you again for highly recommending this !
We did this as a family of five. My mother, two teens (13 and 15) and my husband and I. So we cover a few age groups with this review. It was fantastic! Our first stop had flooded earlier that day, and our wonderful tour guide and driver jumped straight into a plan b and checked with us if we were happy with the new plan. The different foods were great, and hearing the history behind the places we ate and the areas we went was informative, interesting and at times very funny. There was food that suited everyone (not easy to achieve with the youngest) and while us adults were already excited for the tour, the teens said it was so much more fun then they were expecting. Our tour guide, Karlson, was extremely funny and it was lovely that both our guide and driver ate with us and shared stories of the area and their childhood growing up here. We definitely recommend the tour.
Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review ! We are delighted that the tour was enjoyed by the various age groups in your family - especially the teens! It was a particularly wet day and yes, we have plan B & C lined up so that you still get a wholesome experience - we never run out of varieties of food ! Yes our guide Karlson enjoys 'showing off' our food varieties and eating out with 'friends' has been our target achieved so far😊. Thank you once again for the review which means a lot to us :=) Wishing you safe travels and more great memories when you revisit us!
An amazing evening with Karlson! It was such a great to go to food stops that tourists don't know about and to know that some of them have been serving the same high quality food for a long time. Karlson was friendly and knowledgeable and made sure to plan around our food preferences and dietary restrictions, so that we could relax and enjoy everything that was put in front of it. Everything was so delicious! It was also fantastic to have a local guide who could answer all our questions about KL and all manner of subjects! Really glad we did this tour! I've never been so full in my life!
Thank you very much for the 5-star review - much appreciated! We are delighted that you had an amazing evening with our Karlson whom you found to be friendly, knowledgeable and able to answer all your questions too about KL & all manner of subjects. Yes we take dietary restrictions very seriously and are proud to say we have been able to get satisfied customers who are vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, gluten-free, etc together with non-vegetarians too ! We are equally happy to have hosted you and we do hope to see you again when you re-visit ! Till then happy holidays & safe travels too😃
Great tour with 3 différent styles.
Thank you very much for your 5-star review and glad that you enjoyed our different styles of food😃. Do come back for more when you revisit ! Have a great holiday and safe travels
We had a fun evening with Ari. He introduced us to an Indian eatery followed by a Chinese followed by a Malay. Not only did he introduce us to food, he also gave us insight to the local culture and pointed out sights as we passed them. Very worthwhile tour.
Thank you for your review - much appreciated ! Delighted to hear that you had a worthwhile tour and fun evening with Ari ! Yes our tour is not just about the food but combined with the insights of culture and amazing sights as well. We hope to host you again when you revisit us !
We had an excellent evening with Carlson - made very personal as my husband and I were the only guests! He kept us informed that he was caught in traffic and would be a few minutes late picking us up. We visited a traditional Malaysian street food market, then an Indian restaurant and finally a Chinese one. It was great to have such a knowledgeable guide, telling us all about the food we were eating. It was an unexpected bonus that Carlson gave us a quick tour around some of the street in Chinatown, with a commentary. He was very informative and friendly and I would not hesitate recommending him.
Thank you for your awesome 5-star review! We are glad that you had an excellent evening with our Karlson and found him to be knowledgeable😃 Do look us up when you re-visit. Till then safe travels !
I had a great time on this food tour! Ari was a super guide: nice, prepared and able to involve everyone. The food was all great, but a special mention goes absolutely to the Malaysian dishes, which were my absolute favorites. Highly recommended if you want to discover the true flavors of the place!
Thank you very much for your fantastic review and so very glad that you had an amazing time on our food tour with Ari and found him to be friendly, knowledgeable and engaging ! Absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed our 'hidden' Malaysian street food that are a favorite with our locals. Thank you for your high recommendation of our tour to discover the REAL flavours of Malaysia's multi diverse people ! Do visit us again soon ! Wishing you safe travels and enjoy the rest of your holidays here ! Here's a google translate in Italian ;-) Grazie mille per la tua fantastica recensione e siamo davvero felici che tu abbia trascorso un tempo incredibile nel nostro tour gastronomico con Ari e che lo abbia trovato amichevole, competente e coinvolgente! Siamo assolutamente lieti di sapere che hai apprezzato il nostro 'nascosto' cibo di strada malese, molto amato dai nostri locali. Grazie per la tua alta raccomandazione del nostro tour per scoprire i VERE sapori del popolo multi-diverso della Malesia! Vieni a trovarci di nuovo presto! Ti auguriamo un viaggio sicuro e di goderti il resto delle tue vacanze qui! Grazie
