Overview

We’re heading past the postcard-perfect facades to find the real Melaka: a place where the Silk Road didn’t just meet the Spice Route, it got married at the bottom of a bowl of noodles.At the centre of this global fusion is rempah - the 'mother paste' of roots and spices that defines the essential character of every local Melaka kitchen. We navigate the city’s ancestral laneways through 15+ tastings, hunting down the centuries-old trade secrets still simmering in the steam of a local wok

Activity itinerary

Melaka

15m

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

1h

Kick off at the edge of Jonker Street in Chinatown at a third-generation joint for a Melaka classic: ginger-scented nasi ayam balls. Stroll along the UNESCO riverside past the Flor de la Mar, the ill-fated Portuguese ship that still guards its lost 16th-century gold. With 15+ food tastings on the docket, we’re just getting started. Next, 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. Mid-stride, snag some banana-leaf-charred otak-otak fish cake, before tearing into a glazed, pork-bursting chā shāo bāo bun

Melaka

1h

Pivot to a 50-year-old family-run eatery to pay our respects to a vanishing generation of street-food royalty. This is local legend territory, serving up thin-skinned popiah basah fresh spring roll, tangy fruit and veg rojak buah, and a rich, coconut-laced laksa noodle soup that defines the Peranakan-Nyonya soul.

Melaka

1h

Hold up at the Chee Ancestral Mansion, blending Dutch, Portuguese, and Chinese motifs an embodiment of Melaka’s sprawling entrepôt empire.. Peel back a sticky nyonya zhang dumpling: a hit of spice-braised pork tucked inside indigo-stained rice. Pass the Fan Bing Bing mural, a technicolour nod to the city’s evolving street-art scene. Cool the engine with a gula-melaka finale. We tackle a trifecta of putu piring coconut rice cakes, emerald-hued pandan coconut roll, and later a salt-flecked cendol dessert. The route ends in the crimson shadow of the Dutch Square, the historic finish line where it all comes full circle.

Melaka

45m

This is a boots-on-the-ground cuisine expedition through the alleyways and family kitchens that make Melaka the most addictive food city on the Strait. We skip the tourist traps through the heritage core, proving that the true legacy of the monsoon winds - is best experienced with a pair of chopsticks.
