Additional Information

Our Phuket food tours have been voted the best culinary adventures on this food-obsessed island by TripAdvisor.

The Chinese and Malay cultures have left their gastronomic mark on Phuket along with just a pinch of Indian spice, leaving a unique cuisine found no where else in Thailand. Forget Thai green curry, papaya salad and mainland staple fare; Phuket’s proud of it’s dim sim houses and sticky, dark moo hong pork belly curry, it’s soy sauce noodles and crepe-wrapped fresh spring rolls.

Wrap your chopsticks around sticky handmade fresh spring rolls, wok-fried mee hoon, Hokkien noodles peppered with delicate prawn wontons and char sui barbecue pork, spiced chicken curry puffs, gaeng som fish curry and much more on this gastronomic island journey.

But this tour isn’t just about the food. It’s about the people and the place. Why does the city have pretty Portuguese townhouses? Why the city is festooned with Chinese temples? And what are those amulets that everyone’s wearing?

Amazing food tour in Phuket - From the time I booked this tour right up until the tour ended I received exceptional service. Numerous confirmation emails and detailed information were continuously provided. Once the tour began we had an amazing time with Nana on this exceptional food tour. All the food was delicious, and the friendly manner that the tour was done was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that travels to Phuket.

Best evening in Old Town - This was the best food tour. Lucky was so thorough and answered any questions we had and explained the food in old town with explanations of traditions and family histories. We never would have known where to go, so this food tour was exactly what we needed.

A truly foodie experience - I had a great time with Nana. Nana was friendly and helpful. The pace of the tour was just right. The food selection was interesting, good quality, and well mixed. We ate, walked, ate and walked. I managed to finish almost all of the dishes and the last stop (desserts) was the perfect end. Our group was small so we finished the tour early, which worked well, since I had to go walk off the food I had. I highly recommend this tour.
