Go Where the Locals Go! - Picked up by our wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable host Janince and her brother, we embarked on an unforgettable food journey through the vibrant streets of Georgetown and its surrounding neighbourhoods.
Our adventure began in a hidden laneway, where we sampled three distinct dishes, including a Michelin recognised dessert named Cendol, a unique take on Laksa, compared to my normal coconut based variety, and a flavour-packed shrimp noodle. Each stop offered not only delicious food but also stories. Janince shared insights into the local communities that gather in these areas each evening, bringing the laneways and night markets to life with conversation, laughter, and shared meals.
I won’t give away every dish, you will want to discover them for yourself, but be prepared to enjoy a wide range of flavours: from street food at Tan Jetty to traditional Malay markets, tropical fruits, Chinese hawker favourites, and the aromatic delights of Little India. Along the way, you will learn about the area’s history, including land reclamation, the evolution of local housing, and tips for places to explore on your own. Don’t miss starting your day at 00 Coffee, an excellent choice.
Janince is an exceptional guide. With a diverse background and a deep passion for food and culture, she brings each stop to life with warmth, humour, and rich knowledge. Come hungry, taste everything, and immerse yourself in the flavours and stories of Penang. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing experience. Definitely recommend. - Janice was amazing. The tour took us to places that we wouldn’t have found on our own and we got to try so many great foods. Definitely make sure you are hungry before you go. Totally recommend.
