What you can expect
Malacca food tour - As the Maritime Silk Road’s treasures met the aromatic bounty of the Spice Route, Melaka was a sun-drenched terminal where the world's great trade routes converged to exchange porcelain for pepper. This food tour dives into the resulting culinary explosion, anchored by the rempah spice-paste that has fuelled the city for generations.
