We have relocated to Penang, a place we've been visiting on a regular basis for over 4 years. If you're planning a trip to Malaysia, consider adding Penang to your itinerary -- it's ground zero for Malaysian hawker (street) food. Our excursions here in include food walking tours of UNESCO World Heritage Site (morning and evening, or a "split" walk -- 2 hours am, 2 hours pm) and outings to various wet markets to get a feel for how locals shop for food and the ingredients they cook with and to try local specialties on site.
We're also offering food and photography excursions in Chiang Mai throughout 2011. For more information see our Chiang Mai Food and Photography Walk page, here.
We are freelance food and travel journalist Robyn Eckhardt and commercial and editorial photographer David Hagerman.
When not away on assignment we offer food walks/excursions (sometimes a car is involved) in Penang and occasionally, Kuala Lumpur and Chiang Mai -- and beyond.
We've been living and eating in Malaysia for almost 6 years, and in Asia for over 14. You may have seen us in print -- we write and photograph for Saveur, New York Times, South China Morning Post, Travel+Leisure and Food & Wine, among other publications. Since June 2011 we've been based in Penang (Kuala Lumpur was home for almost 6 years). Robyn speaks Mandarin and a smattering of Malay.
In July 2011 Robyn was named one of the world's Top Culinary Guides by USA's Travel+Leisure magazine.
Excursions are private and customized to your interests, likes and dislikes and start at U$120 per person (minimum of two people). We require a 100% deposit at the time of booking (fully refundable up to 10 days prior to tour minus transfer fees; transferrable and may be used to re-book within a year).
For more information and/or to book a walk email Robyn: robyn.eckhardt@gmail.com.
Photography buffs may be interested in a one-on-one instructional photo walks -- food-focused or not -- with David. For more info contact Dave directly (drhagerman@gmail.com) or go here. For a taste of Dave's work, view his professional website, here.
Please note that we are unable to book walks more than 8 weeks in advance.
