Baba Tastes Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings
Overview
Our Phuket food tours have been voted the best culinary adventures on this food-obsessed island by TripAdvisor.
The Chinese and Malay cultures have left their gastronomic mark on Phuket along with just a pinch of Indian spice, leaving a unique cuisine found no where else in Thailand. Forget Thai green curry, papaya salad and mainland staple fare; Phuket’s proud of it’s dim sim houses and sticky, dark moo hong pork belly curry, it’s soy sauce noodles and crepe-wrapped fresh spring rolls.
Wrap your chopsticks around sticky handmade fresh spring rolls, wok-fried mee hoon, Hokkien noodles peppered with delicate prawn wontons and char sui barbecue pork, spiced chicken curry puffs, gaeng som fish curry and much more on this gastronomic island journey.
But this tour isn’t just about the food. It’s about the people and the place. Why does the city have pretty Portuguese townhouses? Why the city is festooned with Chinese temples? And what are those amulets that everyone’s wearing?

Our Phuket food tours have been voted the best culinary adventures on this food-obsessed island. You’d be one wonton short of a noodle bowl not to drag yourself off the sun-kissed beaches and hit up the drool-worthy eating spots around old Phuket Town, a place bestowed with UNESCO status for its culinary history. In an intimate group of up to 8 guests explore this fascinating trading outpost that's been influencers from across Asia and beyond. We don't want to spoil the surprise, but some drool-worthy highlights including the handmade fresh spring rolls slathered in sticky tamarind sauce, peppery wok-fried mee hoon, Hokkien noodles with delicate prawn wontons and char sui barbecue pork, Southern-style gaeng som curry and over ten more lip-smackingly food tastings in places you'd struggle to find alone.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Phuket Town, Phuket Town, Phuket
The tour concludes back at the start point, the Jui Tui temple close to the heart of the city. Enjoy local hospitality and meet new friends along the way. End the tour armed with the knowledge you'll need to continue eating street food across Thailand.

Greetings My wife Vasni and I went on the Old Phuket Night Food tour with Nam as our host. Wow! What a special day. We made new friends from Singapore as well. A beautiful and awesome couple. Nam made the tour so exciting. She went way and beyond and was so kind and very informative. We really learnt so much, not only about the Thai cusuine, but also about the rich history of the town.

This tour is a great way to sample Phuket cuisine, experience the nightlife, and learn a little bit about local history. Nam is an excellent guide, combining her knowledge of shop owners, food, and town history to weave compelling stories about Phuket and its people. The amount of food is balanced nicely with the walking between locations, and the overall route provides a good glimpse into Phuket markets, shops, and Thalang Road. The curation of dishes ranged from Chinese to Malay to Thai, and all were delicious. Nam was an excellent guide, answering all our question and giving insights into the people and families that make up Phuket's food culture. Definitely a must-see for any foodie!Relax47329800612

Ok wow, this tour was one of the greatest tours I've done in my life. I was lucky enough to share so many delicious meals with a local! Nam is an amazing person who knows so much about Phuket Old Town and it's delicious food. She answered all my questions and introduced me to some lovely shop owners/families. By the end of the tour, I felt as if I made a new friend with Nam - she was that lovely. She even waited for my taxi to arrive as I am a solo female traveler. The food was to die for, every single dish was amazing, and from places where as a tourist I wouldn't even know to go into. I'm recommending this experience to every single person I know who visits Phuket.Y7212NTandrewf
