What's a better place to experience country than a market? On this excursion, we'll explore on of the largest wet markets in Kuala Lumpur, where you'll experience first-hand the sights, smells, and flavours of Malaysia's many cultures - hence its title, Flavours of Malaysia. Imagine rows of local fruits, vegetables, and spices on display, along with countless stalls selling the freshest meat and seafood. As you walk through the market, you'll discover and taste popular Malaysian dishes while also learning about the key ingredients used in the kitchens of the country's three main cultures. This is a truly authentic market experience - meaning you may see, taste, and smell things that aren't found in markets elsewhere in the world.
Food is the best way to know a country, and with its mix of three main cultures, Malaysian cuisine has a lot of stories to tell. You'll get to taste dishes such as satay, murtabak, pan mee, and roti canai. Nothing reflects culture more than a wet market, and here at Chow Kit, one of the largest in Kuala Lumpur, you'll see the ingredients that form the backbone of Malaysian cooking. The experience also includes a visit to Little Indonesia, where Kuala Lumpur's Indonesian community shares food and culture closely connected to Malay traditions. Here, we'll sample some of their specialties and notice both the similarities and differences with local dishes. The tour continues with a walk along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, where pre-war buildings with distinctive facades will stand as part of the city's heritage.
