George Town Heritage Festival is celebrated with street activities in separate parts of the heritage enclave from July 7 to July 9. In and around Armenian Street are community-based activities that visitors can take part in to appreciate the cultural practices and games of the multi-ethnic society. While you are there, do not miss out on the varied ethnic food offerings - that give rise to Penang’s tribute as a Gourmet’s Paradise.
Melaka’s heritage is its chequered history as a spice trading port and the legacies (oh yes delicious cuisine and architecture) left behind by its conquerors by the Dutch, Portuguese and the British. The intermarriage of its local Malay maidens with Chinese sailors throughout the seven voyages of Admiral Zheng He created an unique community called the Peranakan Baba Nyonya who continued to keep its Chinese tradition. Malay-infused culinary taste gave rise in its delectable Baba Nyonya cuisine that few visitors in Melaka would want to miss out.
