Itinerary

Little India - Penang

one hour

We begin our journey at one of the oldest enclaves in George Town. Like the migrants who made this place home, we will wander the city - exploring its food, its quirks and finding our place in this vibrant and diverse melting pot.
Chulia Street

one hour

Change is inevitable, and we will discover how the winds of change have rearranged the city from its founding, to its glory days in the 19th century. Our selection of food changes with it, telling us a story many people barely perceive.
Penang

one hour

We get a little off the beaten track, and discuss the pieces and players and recent events that have changed the face of George Town. We reflect on our journey, and how it mirrors the journey of this city and its people. And perhaps we come away a little wiser (and full of food).

Meeting point and pickup

Everyone meets at the meeting point.

Meeting point

At Lebuh Penang & Lebuh China, Ren is the white colonial style inn on the corner. You will meet your host *outside of* the Bistro on the ground floor, as the hotel & bistro are closed to the public at this time.

End point

*Ending points may vary depending on closures or alternate routes*

Using your ticket

Kindly arrive at the location at least 5 minutes before the hop begins. If you are delayed, kindly let us know via our contact number so we can hold the hop for you. The host will wait a maximum of 10 minutes before considering you a no-show. If you're marked as no-show you will not be entitled to a refund.
If you are delayed beyond a reasonable amount of time, as determined by the host, and inform us of this situation then we will try to schedule another hop for you on a best-effort basis. If you do not inform us, then you will be considered a no-show.
We reserve the right to refuse service to customers who are intoxicated or show signs of intoxication. If, as a result, your hop is canceled, you will not be entitled to a refund.
Please obey all local and international laws, guidelines and standard operating procedures while on the hop. If your hop is canceled as a result of illegal, disruptive or unethical behaviour on your part, you will not be entitled to a refund.
If you randomly break into song, the host may or may not join you, depending on the song.
