Additional Information

‘Lepak-lepak’ translates to ‘hangout’ in the Malaysian tongue. In this excursion, we’ll take you to two prime locations that are popular among Malaysians for their nocturnal activities - the Night Market (Pasar Malam) and the Mamak Stall (Kedai Mamak).

Known as ‘Pasar Malam’ in local terms, night markets are integral to the Malaysian lifestyle. These bustling bazaars are regularly frequented by locals who come to savor the delectable street food and shop for a wide variety of items.

Kedai Mamak or the Mamak Stall has become a favourite among Malaysians to reconnect with friends, to enjoy a live soccer game, or to grab a quick snack in the wee hours of the morning!

Fabulous tour. Amazing good! - A great tour with the fabulous Kumar. It was really great to taste the foods of the 3 different ethnicities - Muslim, Indian & Chinese. Kumar really brought the tour to life and was a great source of knowledge on Malaysia in general, historically and economically. The food was amazing! We were probably a bit too full by the time we made it as far as Chinatown. Make sure you arrive hungry!!

Louis was AMAZING!!! - Louis was our tour guide and he was AMAZING! He took us to a variety of neighborhoods where we were able to sample some of the best street food that Malaysia has to offer! Not only should you definitely book your tour with Louis but please come hungry because you will definitely be full by the end of the night! Louis was patient, informative and he made sure to acknowledge all of our allergies. It was a perfect tour!

Not what we expected - Started off okay, experiencing an authentic food stall with teh ais and roti canai, but when downhill from there - spent $240 Aauf for the tour, but only had $50 AUD budget for food and drinks. The guide was nice enough, but really not worth it in our opinion sorry.
