MalaysiaA Truly Asia Life Time ExperienceMalaysia, situated in Southeast Asia, boasts of having an array of indigenous tribes, and many tourist destinations in the World. Cultures have been meeting and mixing in Malaysia since the very beginning of its history. Malaysia’s cultural mosaic is marked by many different cultures, but several in particular has had an especially lasting influence on the country. Chief among these is the ancient Malay culture, and the cultures of Malaysia’s two most prominent trading partners throughout history—the Chinese, and the Indians. These three cultures are intermixed with other indigenous cultures (Iban, Kadazan, Melanau etc) on the island of Borneo Malaysia.

Although each of these cultures has vigorously maintained its traditions and community structures, they have also blended together to create contemporary Malaysia’s uniquely diverse heritage resulting in an amazing experience of gastronomical journey for anyone with an appetite for adventure.
