The Experience

Malaysian food is surprisingly gluten-free friendly! But soy sauce hides everywhere. We've mapped the GF-safe vendors who use wheat-free soy sauce.

What Makes This Tour Different

Not Your Typical Tourist Route

Most Tourists

  • Eat at the same 5 stalls on Jalan Alor
  • Never meet the people behind the food
  • Leave without understanding the cultural stories
  • Follow a guidebook, not a local

With Simply Enak

  • Visit family-run stalls we've known for 14+ years
  • Meet Aunty Lim, Master Chen, Chef Raj — not just their food
  • Learn why char kway teow became political in the 1960s
  • Walk with guides who grew up eating at these stalls

We've been eating in these neighborhoods for 14+ years. Every vendor on this tour is someone we actually know — not a business arrangement, but a friendship. You'll taste the same dishes our families have been eating for generations, and hear the stories that make them matter.

The Full Story

Everything You Need to Know

Malaysian food is surprisingly gluten-free friendly - rice, coconut milk, fresh spices, grilled meats. But here's the catch: soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin hide everywhere. Most vendors don't know what "gluten" means. They'll say "yes, can!" while pouring dark soy into your dish. We've mapped the GF-safe vendors. We know which stalls use wheat-free soy sauce, which rice noodle dishes are contaminated, and which desserts use wheat flour. Your gut won't pay the price.
