In a bold move to promote Penang's culinary delights, two renowned chefs, Su Kim Hock and Johnson Wong, are on a mission to showcase the island's gastronomic treasures to the world. These chefs, known for their Michelin-starred establishments, Au Jardin and Gen in Penang, respectively, have joined forces to create an immersive food tour experience. But here's where it gets controversial... Their initiative is entirely self-funded, challenging the notion that such ventures should be government-led. And this is the part most people miss... Despite the financial burden, Su and Wong are determined to share their passion for Penang's food culture, offering an authentic and unique perspective that goes beyond traditional tour guides. With their expertise and love for the local cuisine, they aim to attract regional tourists from Singapore, China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea, as well as local visitors. Their goal is to highlight the rich diversity of Penang's culinary scene, from street food to high-end restaurants, providing an insightful and immersive experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on food enthusiasts.
