"Lai Penang Chiak Hong" is a Penang local Chinese "Hokkien" dialect of saying "Come to Penang for Holiday" I was born in the early 70's, a local "Hokkien" Malaysian Chinese, a history enthusiastic and I like reading history related books. I enjoy outdoor activities and I love our tasty Penang street food. I am funny and a down to earth person and I love guiding because I love to share my personal and family history, how and why my great great grandfather left China and came to South East Asia to look for greener pasture more than 150 years ago. I love animals, so much so that I am also a professional dog trainer. I love my country and I love Penang, let me show you how we Malaysians which are made up from multiple races living in harmony next to each others. Let me guide you in Penang and I shall show you the best of Penang, the histories, the stories, the cultures, the colors, the tastes, the smells, the fun and the list goes on and on. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As a local who loves tasty food and often helped my late grandma in the kitchen, let me introduce you to Penang’s culinary delights. Known as the food capital of the world and the "Mecca of Food," Penang sits at the crossroads between the East and West. For over 200 years, it has attracted travelers and immigrants from all over, creating a rich blend of cultures and races. As the center of the spice trade and a global melting pot, Penang offers some of the best and most flavorful food. This tour will explore the history and culture of Penang’s food scene, highlighting the diverse options available, with food to enjoy 24/7! My personal favorite is Penang Assam Laksa, which has been ranked multiple times as a must-try dish before you die! If I am not available on the date of your preference, please contact my colleague Billy O who can deliver the same tour.
