Singapore to Malaysia Real Food Adventure

Taste some of the best Asian food of the region on an eight-day journey from Singapore to Malaysia. On this trip, you’ll experience the fusion of Muslim and Malay culinary traditions, tasting the influences that Chinese, Indian and indigenous flavours have had on the local cuisines. As you journey from Singapore’s hawker centres into Kuala Lumpur and Penang, taste dishes like nasi lemak, char kway teow, roti canai, and laksa, all while checking out the highlights of the area. Visit Gardens by the Bay and Perah Temple and maybe use your free time to see the views from Kuala Lumpur Tower and the Petronas Towers. You’ll also get off the beaten track for a break in the countryside in the Cameron Highlands, where you’ll taste locally brewed tea at a tea factory and walk through the forest for some fresh air. Eat with locals, learn how to make some iconic dishes and support the local communities along the way – what could be a better adventure for a foodie?
