Simon is very knowledgable about the historical facts, and presents it well during the walk. There were some nice yum yums on the walk as well.

An amazing Cultural & Gastronomic Experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

The foodie cultural tour with Su Li was an amazing cultural and gastronomic experience - a must do whilst in Penang! Su Li was very knowledgeable, accomodating and very attentive to our needs. Visiting with my 3 boys, we were educated through sight, smell, taste and of course some funny stories about the local area. Su Li's deep knowledge of the origins of the Penang settlement with her ability to tie it together with the vibrant food scene, made this experience an unforgettable one for my family. My favourite treats were the pickled nutmeg & Nyonya Kuihs. Although we can't forget the experience of trying our hand at cooking our own Char Koay Teow and Apom Balik. The tour took us through the back streets and market lanes, walking through some historical architecture and seeing the changes of these through time. The smells of the curries and spices through the back lanes of the Nasi Kandar kitchen woke up our sense of smell and enticed our apatite. Su Li's passionate enthusiasm of the UNESCO historical sites, organised and safe tour is a must do if you are in Penang. Thank you Su Li for a memorable experience!

Penang from the eyes and heart of a local

Published on Nov, 2024

Su Li shared her love of her region and the tasty local foods. This was an amazing cultural tour of the heritage section of Georgetown. The wall art walking and driving tour was fantastic. We saw art on containers in the middle of a rice paddy and on the walls of the towns. I would recommend her tours to everyone. You will learn so much about Penang’s history and the cultural integration of the various peoples of Penang.

Penang Foodie Fun: Culture & Tasty Treats!

Published on Oct, 2024

I had such a fun time on a food tour in Penang with Su Li! We hit up four different spots, each with a totally different cuisine. But let me tell you, the tomyam beehoon at this cozy Nyonya place was the highlight for me! It was the perfect mix of spicy and tangy—I could’ve easily had seconds (or thirds). What made it even better was that each cuisine had so much culture packed into it! It wasn’t just about eating amazing food (which we definitely did), but also experiencing the heart and soul behind each dish. Plus, walking around town between stops was a whole experience on its own. We got to appreciate all the beautifully restored UNESCO heritage buildings, along with the stunning temples dotted around the streets. It felt like we were soaking in Penang’s history and culture with every step. If you love good food, exploring historic spots, and diving into the culture behind each dish, this tour is a must. You’ll leave with a happy stomach, new knowledge, and a deeper appreciation for Penang’s incredible food scene! Suli（スー・リー）と一緒にペナンのグルメツアーに参加し、とても楽しい時間を過ごしました。4か所を訪れ、それぞれ全く異なる料理を楽しみましたが、特にニョニャ料理のお店で食べたトムヤムクンが一番印象に残りました。スパイシーで酸味が効いていて、何度でも食べたくなる味でした。 また、料理に込められた文化や歴史を感じられたのも魅力でした。さらに、街歩きではユネスコ世界遺産の建物や美しい寺院を楽しむことができました。 美味しい料理や歴史的な場所に興味がある方には、このツアーはおすすめです。ペナンのグルメと文化を深く知ることができる素晴らしい体験です。
