Luxury Escapes announces new Signature Series foodie tour across Malaysia
Luxury Escapes’ latest Signature Series foodie tour across Malaysia will be hosted by 2017 MasterChef Australia winner cook Diana Chan.
This exclusive culinary adventure is available to book from Wednesday, 13 November and promises an unforgettable journey through Malaysia’s vibrant food scene.
“For our next Signature Series tour, we’re excited to be teaming up with Diana Chan and can’t wait to offer Australians a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the wonders of Malaysia,” Luxury Escapes co-founder & CEO, Adam Schwab, said.
Following a night in Singapore, travellers will go on to hunt down some of the best food in Malaysia and stay in some of the country’s top hotels, including the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur and the Eastern & Oriental in Penang. Plus enjoy return international flights with Singapore airlines (business class packages available, strictly limited) and an optional four-night extension in Langkawi.
“I am delighted to partner with Luxury Escapes for this Signature Series experience,” Chan said. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to share my passion for travel and love of Malaysian cuisine. Tickets are very limited for this unique experience, so I encourage all food and travel lovers alike to jump online to secure their place on this tour!”
Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or a curious beginner, this eight-day journey promises to inspire a deep appreciation for the rich and diverse flavours of Malaysian cuisine. Guests will experience the unique blend of Chinese and Indian influences that define Malaysian food, with stops ranging from Michelin-starred restaurants to authentic street food hotspots.
Highlights include dining at iconic spots like Chinatown’s Sek Yuen, the city’s oldest Cantonese restaurant, and indulging in Michelin-starred dishes at Aunty Gaik Lean’s Old School Eatery and Au Jardin. Street food walking tours through Kampung Baru and George Town, Penang, round out the experience, giving guests a true taste of local flavour and culture.
