Food Tripping Penang: The UK Connection! – A virtual cooking workshop with storytelling by performers. Discover the unique combination of flavours born from the marriage of Malaysian and British culture.

Leave your passports at home and be whisked away to the beautiful, sunny island of Penang, Malaysia!

Wayang Kitchen teams up with Simply Enak and The Rojak Projek to bring you on a journey live streamed all the way from the islands of Penang and the UK.

Food Tripping combines a cooking class with storytelling and facilitates an exchange of cultures with people from across the world. In this trip we visit Penang, Malaysia to discover the unique history and dishes of Hainanese cuisine, born from the Malaysian – UK connection since colonial times.

Cook and taste the flavours eaten by empire builders of the past and learn how dishes were fused with Malaysian culture that are still enjoyed today. Plus some bonus recipes of our own creation inspired by these special flavours! This Anglo-Hainanese fusion is exclusive to Malaysia and Singapore, influenced through the connection of our cultures. In this fun new event, participants will learn to cook unique dishes, hear inspiring tales from the past and present as well as create memorable experiences with our passionate team of foodies, travellers and audiences from across the world.

Supported by the British Council’s Digital Collaboration Fund and Penang Global Tourism.
