The best way to eat and see Penang. Enjoy a 3-hour walking food tour full of delicious dishes, storied history and eclectic culture. Immerse yourself in the story of George Town's inception - a story of migrants and sailors, trade and war, peace and strife. Explore the streets and landmarks, eat great food and gain new insight into this amazing city.
We begin our journey at one of the oldest enclaves in George Town. Like the migrants who made this place home, we will wander the city - exploring its food, its quirks and finding our place in this vibrant and diverse melting pot.
Change is inevitable, and we will discover how the winds of change have rearranged the city from its founding, to its glory days in the 19th century. Our selection of food changes with it, telling us a story many people barely perceive.
We get a little off the beaten track, and discuss the pieces and players and recent events that have changed the face of George Town. We reflect on our journey, and how it mirrors the journey of this city and its people. And perhaps we come away a little wiser (and full of food).
