The TLM Food Expo makes its last Penang stop of 2026 at Setia SPICE Arena in Bayan Baru from Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November, open 11am to 9pm each day. The organiser bills it as the final TLM food show of the year, so it is a good chance to stock up on snacks, dried goods and festive treats before the year-end rush.
Expect more than 150 booths, with over 30 overseas vendors bringing specialty food from Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan. Highlights listed by the organiser include an exclusive section for Hong Kong dried seafood and premium ingredients, a dedicated Taiwanese food zone and a vegetarian area for those looking for meat-free options. Northern Malaysian F&B brands such as KEKO Group (Glinter sparkling drinks, Keko herbal teas and Jayer confectionery) have also announced they are exhibiting.
There are daily giveaways of 1,000 welcome packs for early visitors, while shoppers who spend more than RM200 qualify for exclusive gifts and lucky-draw entries. Entry fee details had not been published at the time of writing, so check the organiser's listing before heading over.
Who is it for? Families doing a weekend makan-and-shopping run, home cooks hunting for dried seafood and sauces, and anyone who enjoys sampling. Go early on Friday or at opening time on Saturday and Sunday for the welcome packs and thinner crowds, bring a recyclable bag or trolley for heavy hauls, and budget for impulse buys.
