    Tasted some awesome traditional dishes

    We had such a nice time walking around Chinatown and trying some traditional food. Learned some much. Rayhan Raj Naidu was great!

    via Viator

    Cherie_A · July 2024

    Tasty and information

    Rayhan was a good guide, friendly and knowledgeable. I tried a few new foods and only sorry it was a solo tour, as I feel you get to try and share more foods when it is a group of people. Had the best roti I have had on my trip so far. Whilst not included on the "menu", I purchased Bakkwa to try which was delicious - both the bacon and the pressed square bbq meats.

    via Viator

    Pengyu_L · March 2024

    Definitely recommend

    Incredible tour from Rayhan, he has great service spirit. Even after the tour, we kept in contact and he offered me lots of suggestions about the road trip in the country.

    Amazing food tour!

    My guide for this tour was Rajan and let me tell you, he made the trip great! He took his time to explain the city, it's history, and brought me to the best food stops. I had a chance to try food that I wouldn't normally pick, and it was all great! This was so much fun and I recommend to anyone!

    LynnSoon · November 2019

    Fun day at Kellysbay!

    This is my 5th time coming here! I enjoy bringing people over as it's worth it for the price and there's a lot of things to do. I would suggest you check out their Facebook page, you can message them through Facebook Messenger to get a booking. If not you can WhatsApp them, you can get their number from the Facebook page.

    Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuala Lumpur.

    How much does Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies cost?

    +

    Prices start at $101 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuala Lumpur usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kuala Lumpur is not rushed.

    Is Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kuala Lumpur, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kuala Lumpur can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kuala Lumpur and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kuala Lumpur within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kuala Lumpur?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kuala Lumpur experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Genting Highland & Batu Cave Guided Day Tour (SIC/Shared Tour), Kuala Lumpur Grand Full Day Guided Tour with 25 Attractions (SIC), Kuala Lumpur Suburbs Batu Caves Half-Day Tour (SIC/Shared Tour). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kuala Lumpur?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kuala Lumpur?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies?

    +

    Included: Food, Drinks & Dessert Tastings; Bottled water; and Friendly English Speaking Local Host. Not included: Hotel Pick-up & Drop off; and Additional Beverages (Alcoholic Drinks). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies?

    +

    Meeting point:- Entrance of the Central Market - Kuala Lumpur Address:- Lot 3.04-3.06, 06, Jalan Hang Kasturi, City Centre, 50050 Kuala Lumpur. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    +

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Culinary Journey Through Chinatown with All Type of Delicacies wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
