FOOD lovers, mark your calendars! The much-anticipated Penang International Food Festival (PIFF) @ Tanjong 2025 is making a grand return this November, serving up three weekends of unforgettable culinary experiences.
Organised by the office of Deputy Finance Minister and Tanjong MP Lim Hui Ying, and endorsed by the Penang government, PIFF @ Tanjong 2025 is fully supported by the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) and Penang Global Tourism (PGT), with Dreamz Productions Events Management Sdn Bhd as the festival manager.
Speaking at the press conference in Komtar today, Penang Tourism and Creative Economy Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai said the festival has grown into a much-loved signature event, drawing thousands of food lovers from near and far.
“With PIFF @ Tanjong 2025, we are not only celebrating food but also showcasing the many facets of George Town including its heritage, its creativity, and its warm spirit of hospitality.
“This is what keeps Penang firmly on the global tourism map,” he said.
Also present were Deputy Finance Minister and Tanjong MP Lim Hui Ying, Pengkalan Kota assemblyman Wong Yuee Harng, PGT chief executive officer Ooi Chok Yan, MBPP councillors Benji Ang Ming Quan and Alan Lim Wei Lun, and Dreamz Productions Events Management Sdn Bhd founder and director Cheah WY.
Wong revealed that this year’s edition will welcome both tourists and locals to five iconic venues across George Town, each showcasing a different food theme over three consecutive weekends in November.
“The aim is to encourage both locals and visitors to experience these iconic spots through food, rediscovering George Town’s charm while strengthening its appeal as a vibrant culinary destination,” he said.
He also extended his appreciation to the organisers, partners, and sponsors whose collaboration has made the festival possible.
“PIFF @ Tanjong 2025 is set to be a must-visit highlight for both locals and visitors. I encourage everyone to follow PIFF’s social media channels for updates and to plan your own food adventures right here in Penang,” said Wong.
