Insider Series: Premium 11-Day Malaysia Highlights with Foodie Experiences Co-Curated by Diana Chan

Explore the flavours of Malaysia on an exclusive route co-curated by Malaysian-born Australian TV personality, chef, author and former MasterChef winner, Diana Chan. Among the countless cultures contributing to Southeast Asia’s legendary culinary heritage, Malaysia proves itself as a powerhouse of flavour and fine dining. From Michelin-starred Peranakan plates to hand-preparing your own dessert, this tour allows you to experience a blend of tradition and innovation, just as intended by Diana.

Kick-off your once-in-a-lifetime culinary caper in Kuala Lumpur, as your journey takes you from pavement to the Petronas Towers in search of the country’s best street eats. Savour mouthwatering laksa, ancient Cantonese cuisine and Malay fine dining, then learn to cook Kuala Lumpur classics at LaZat Cooking School. Peek behind the culinary curtain at unmissable spots and understand what sets them apart, from the dynamite dim sum of Chinatown to a street food journey through Kuala Lumpur’s last remaining traditional Malay village, Kampung Baru.

To those who are curious enough to embark on such an adventure, Diana has one piece of advice: “Have an open mind! Let your senses take you on a wild journey. You will taste so many different, unique flavours.” Between tastings, you’ll have plenty of time to indulge in the good life thanks to decadent five-star stays at some of Malaysia’s best hotels, including Kuala Lumpur’s high-flying EQ Hotel and The George Penang by The Crest Collection.

After all that eating, you’ll need somewhere to lay low and digest a week of incredible experiences. Set against Malaysia’s most enchanting tropical haven on the island of Langkawi, Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa is your home base for a four-night finale. After a whirlwind seven days, savour cocktails and calm in this picturesque paradise. Spend your days reclining by the swimming pool or book in for a well-deserved pampering at the onsite spa.

This is your chance to experience Malaysia the way only culinary insiders can, uncovering flavours and traditions off the tourist track.
