Preparation
How to Prepare for Your Food Tour What to wear, what to bring, and what to expect. For both join-in and private tours.
Attire
What to Wear
Closed-toe shoes
Wet floors get slippery. Sandals are asking for trouble.
Cover up
Malaysia is a modest country, especially around markets and temples. Shoulders and knees.
Light clothes
Hot and humid all year. Something breathable.
Bring umbrella if rain looks likely
Afternoon rain is common October to March. Small umbrella fits in your pocket.
Not white
You will spill food on yourself. Darker colours hide mess.
Sunscreen and hat
Malaysian sun is brutal. You will be outside for hours.
Packing
What to Bring
Water bottle
Refill it at the stops. Skip the plastic cups.
Cash for souvenirs
Your tour covers all food and drinks. Bring cash for souvenirs.
Phone or camera
Markets are crowded. Do not drop it in curry.
Small bag
So your hands are free for eating.
