The Experience
Brand new to Malaysia? This is everything you need to know! Simply Enak will guide you through major temples and historic lanes in Chinatown with amazing food. Perfect introduction to Malaysian culture and heritage.
Probably not for you if
- — You prefer coaches, set menus, and air-con between stops
- — You want a group of 15+ with matching headsets
- — You need a laminated photo menu before you'll try something
- — You'd rather keep moving than linger at one stall for an hour
Right for you if
- → You'd eat the same thing three days running if it's good enough
- → You want to know the name of the person who cooked your food
- → You're already eating at hawker stalls and want to go deeper
- → You like small groups — we cap at 9
