Penang: Private Street Food Tour with Hawker TastingsYou’ll wander through Georgetown as dusk settles in, tasting everything from fresh guava to crispy pork rolls on this private Penang street food tour.

Malaysian Cooking Class Georgetown: Market Tour & Private LessonA private Malaysian cooking class in Georgetown with a professional hotel chef guides you through a morning market tour in Penang's second-oldest bazaar, then teaches you to cook three regional dishes—chicken rendang, char siew noodle and roti canai—at your own pace in a studio kitchen. You pick the menu, curate the recipes and take them home. The chef speaks English, Chinese, Malay or Cantonese; children from age 7 are welcome.Is it for me?Book the morning departure if you want the market at its busiest and the full sensory walk through a working bazaar; the afternoon class suits a later start. Either way, the private kitchen and one-to-one pace mean you learn according to how you cook, not according to a group schedule—useful if you're new to Malaysian flavors or if you already cook and want the professional techniques a hotel chef carries.
