Wow!
I watched this YouTube video the other day, and was seriously impressed. I simply have to go do this next time I'm in Penang. Headbanger Eats is a funny channel. This is an Indian guy, who doesn't like spicy food, and eats western as much as he eats local. Plus he plays in a heavy metal band. Very much a non-stereotypical person! I like him though, his humility, directness, and approach to food and life. So when he went on a Penang holiday, of course I was interested in following his travels. The Penang Plates tour looked magnificent, with a nice blend of tastes, cultures and food categories. I would leave a link here, but found many different ones, so if it's something that interests you, do your own research and have a go.
Actually, food tours have been an interest of mine for a while. Probably mainly inspired by Bourdain and his travels, where locals would take him around to find authentic and memorable local eats. I loved this aspect of his shows, and his eagerness to sample it all. I'd love to do this in KL, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta, and many other places - likely all Asian to be honest, as that is where my heart lies.
I don't know that this is something to do with the boys, as they (B anyway) are just not that adventurous. But with wifey and Lala, absolutely. We're thinking a Bali escape in 2026, so maybe a food tour could be the go as part of it? Let me go do some investigation....
Wow, there are dozens of them and some look absolutely amazing! I think I'm onto something here. Put the boys in the kids club, take the girls out for a half-day adventure, and have a blast sampling local cuisine that we may well not have had before. Yes, this is a must for the next trip! Plus the site getyourguide.com looks like it caters to many different interests. I think for a 10-12 day trip, yes relaxing and resort time is where it's at, but inter-dispersed with some cool tours and other activities too methinks. Let's do this!
