Two of Penang's best chefs are on a mission to tell the world about Penang food

Sometime this year, two chefs came up with an idea to drive gastro-tourism to the northern Malaysian state of Penang, long regarded as one of the world’s best food destinations.

They realised there was huge untapped potential – in terms of both local tourists as well as the drove of regional tourists from Singapore, China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea.
