Lost Plate was founded in 2014 by Ruixi Hu and her husband Kyle Long. They were both passionate about food and travel but frustrated by the lack of options for authentic local food tours in China. So they decided to create their own company that would offer immersive food experiences for travelers who wanted to go beyond the typical tourist spots.
Today, Lost Plate has expanded to include two other destinations: Cambodia and Portland. Each tour is led by a knowledgeable local guide who will take you on a culinary journey through the city's neighborhoods, markets, street stalls, and restaurants. You'll taste a variety of dishes that range from savory to sweet, spicy to mild, meaty to vegetarian.
In China, Lost Plate offers tours in four cities: Beijing (including hutong alleys), Chengdu (including Sichuan hotpot), Shanghai (including soup dumplings), and Xi'an (including Muslim quarter). Each tour lasts around 3-4 hours and includes 5-6 stops where you'll try different regional specialties such as Peking duck pancakes or Xi'an lamb skewers.
In Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh or Siem Reap near Angkor Wat temple complex area , Lost plate offers evening tuk-tuk tours which takes around 3 hours where guests can enjoy Cambodian street foods like Khmer BBQ skewers or Nom Banh Chok noodle soup along with some drinks at some hidden bars.
In Portland Oregon USA , there are three different walking tours available: Downtown, Alberta Arts District, and Mississippi Avenue. Each tour lasts around 3 hours and includes 6-7 stops where you'll try local favorites such as artisanal donuts or craft beer.
What sets Lost Plate apart from other food tours is their commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism.
