GOOD PLACE TO VISIT Wonder Food Museum is a good place to visit by Adults & Children’s, the food display look like original food, good have a photo shooting as well, a lots of information provided about the foods, also display food as per culture, display traditional way of food prepared. Don’t miss to visit the Wonder food museum if you’re visit to Penang. -Thank you to the Chinese staff (Male) help to charge mobile phone.🙏🙏 -Upper floor staff are more friendly as specially Chinese staff. ❤️❤️❤️ Need improvement: Some of staff only. - Staff should wishes( Happy Deepavali, Gd Mrg, Gd afternoon or Gd evening) when see visitor and when visitor enter into the Museum lobby., - Staff should smile when see the visitor. - Staff should talk with visitor. - Staff should explain about the display of food instead of just looking at visitor or walk way from the place.

Really interesting experience to see our lovely Malaysian food history and food in large scale. Really fun just for the photos and experience. Would recommend it - good for adults and children! There are two levels so if have baby would recommend a baby carrier. There is parking 3 min walk away in the garage. I would recommend using all the props and speech bubbles for your pictures. Staff are also very willing to help take photos for you. My one annoyance is that the professional pictures you take are not available in digital form (print out) which isn’t really in keeping with the times. When asked about this they said need to spend 50RM for 3 photos to get digital. I mean totally backwards. The large photo is 25RM and small photo is 15RM. Apart from the photo, I would recommend going and just take a lot of your own photos. Also have fun!

Wonderfood Museum is a must-visit if you’re in Butterworth, Penang, especially if you want to learn about the famous local foods of Peninsular Malaysia. The entrance ticket is cheaper if purchased via Klook. The museum is comfortable, with cold air conditioning and two floors of exhibits. Numerous foods are on display, each with proper labels and stories. The museum also features props that visitors can use to take fun photos. Additionally, there is an in-house photographer offering photo services, which can be purchased at the end of the tour. Friendly staff are available at all exhibits to guide visitors if needed. Toilets are also available in the museum. Overall, we highly recommend this place, especially for families with kids, as you can learn about famous Malaysian foods up close and gain a deeper appreciation for the local cuisine.

Perhaps not top of most travel guides for Penang, but I thought it was an interesting museum. If you’re here as a tourist and find yourself overwhelmed by the quantity and variety of street food, this is a wonderful place to come and educate yourself a little (and maybe help you pick your next meal). The displays are well crafted, particularly the smaller life-sized ones. The large displays don’t look so realistic but are good to take a picture next to if you’re a kid (or kid at heart). You can learn interesting food/culture (because the two are inextricably linked here) facts along the way as you explore. I initially thought I’d be through within 15 minutes, but my family and I actually found enough entertainment to last for around an hour. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something a little out of the ordinary.

Really good fun. Entrance fee is low and theres so much to see and learn about. I was shocked at how many teaspoons of sugar is in a glass of coke. Plenty of photo opportunities with the biggest models of food weve ever seen. It was a good laugh. staff are always willing to take pictures of you but there were so many of them and we were the only visitors at the time, it was a little overwhelming at times. Awesome place though. Definitly go :) It did get a bit dark at the end though with culptures of starving children and artwork depicting the reality of shark fin soup. Then theres whole load of donation opportunities for the charities. although its good for education and people do need to know about it, it kinda ruined the fun loving mood wed gained from the rest of the place.

Really enjoyed my experience here learning about Malayam food. Great museum which has samples of traditional malayam foods and lots of miniatures which give you a sense of the history. Great photo ops and I appreciated the set up of staff to take the photos. Only 4 stars because I felt like the staff was following me around (to be fair there weren't any other people in the museum when I was there) to make sure I wouldnt touch or steal anything. I was being very respectful and would have appreciated a bit of space to enjoy the exhibits. My recommendation is that they can just as easily ask you not to touch from a single spot in the room vs following people within 5 ft of their trying to enjoy the museum.
