Great way to start a morning - Great food tour. Sam was amazing and knowledgeable guide, who explained not just food, but also history of the city. All the food places we visited served excellent and fresh meals.

Every Single Tasting Was Delicious! - What a great experience, and so unique in itself from the other A Chef's Tour in KL we did. This was the second tour we did with Stephen within the week! As before, he made us feel right at home. Getting to explore the streets of Chinatown was delightful, and so much great food was eaten. The lala noodles were out of this world, the chicken rice was delicious, and the laksas were incredible too. I can't actually count all of the things we got to try on this tour, because there was so many, and everything was amazing. We also had time to digest and enjoy a few temples and local stores in between tastings, too. If you're a foodie looking to explore the real heart of KL, this is the type of tour for you.

Fab intro to KL! - My husband and I had a great tour with Sam around KL! We booked it the day before we arrived in KL and the tour ended up just being the 2 of us so we had plenty of opportunity to ask Sam lots of questions! We tasted a whole variety of dishes / snacks that we otherwise probably wouldn’t have eaten in China Town (even though we are adventurous foodies!) and Sam was so knowledgeable about KL, its history, culture and food that it really did make for a fun few hours! Our advice? Do NOT eat breakfast before hand (we didn’t and still barely managed to get to the end of the tour!) and if you’re female, the tour includes a visit to a Hindu temple so dress appropriately (although I was able to borrow a sarong to cover my knees and still go inside). Enjoy!

Delicious and plentiful local food! - I decided to do this tour after have a great experience on their other food tour, the tastes of Sambal. This tour around Chinatown did not disappoint! Kiran was an excellent guide who provided a lot of information about the area and the food. This tour was a great mix of local sight seeing and tasting the local food. There was a lot of food provided, I recommend you don't eat anything before this tour. This tour is definitely enough for breakfast and lunch, and for me personally it was also enough for dinner! Very enjoyable and delicious tour. Thanks Kiran!
