Melaka

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 Strait for generations. Our lunchtime feasting tour of 15+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience led by our team of professional foodie guides. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour so no-one is disappointed: ✖️Unsuitable for vegetarians sorry, as there are 3-4 less tastings due to limited alternatives at some vendors. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal or celiac diets, due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Melaka

Kick off in Chinatown at a third-generation joint for a Melaka classic: ginger-scented nasi ayam balls. Stroll along the UNESCO riverside as we hunt down umami-rich yā miàn noodle soup, chased by braised bak kut teh pork ribs—a heavy-hitting duo where tender, sauce-slicked ribs meet aromatic, slow-simmered duck. With 15+ food tastings on the docket, we’re just getting started.
