Kuala Lumpur Makan-Makan Tour (Muslim)Variety is unquestionably the spice of Malay food that gives it all its flavour. Malay food has such a wide range of flavoursome fare that is often described as spicy yet savoury. A melting pot of spices, herbs and seasonings play an important role in enhancing the taste and flavour of Malay cuisine and every tourist who visits the beautiful shores of Malaysia would be incomplete without tasting this gastronomic delight. The KL Makan-Makan Tour: Muslim Menu takes tourists to a variety of restaurants to taste typical Muslim cuisine starting with a Malaysian-Muslim favourite of Fish Head Curry. Said to be an acquired taste, this dish is a favourite Muslim dish that is often served with white rice - the staple diet in any Malay meal. Simply not as spicy as Indian curry – and thus kinder to tourists’ taste buds – this dish is actually thoroughly enjoyable fare that will leave you craving more. The next day lunch will consist of Yong Tau Foo – a Malaysian Chinese soup dish with Hakka origins that consists of soy bean cakes, ladies fingers, bitter gourd and a few other delectable titbits.

The tour will be great for travelers on limited time schedule. I personally preferred taking time for each and every place returning to my hotel KL for dinner and a soothing bath or massage.
