What you'll do
This experience is a backstage pass into the places that only the locals know and the foodies go. With a Taste host by your side, you'll get a unique insight into Australia's evolving multi-cultural society through the lens of food and stories.
In this bustling hub of enterprise, history & culture, we'll visit restaurants and food retailers; sampling a range of authentic dishes brought by people from around Asia. We will show you hidden landmarks and artworks and share stories of early Chinese settlers who helped shape Australia.
Tasty highlights include authentic Malaysian classics, Chinatown's emperor's puffs and crunchy Korean fried chicken (best KFC ever!). And we wouldn't want you to miss the handmade noodles and dumplings that chefs enjoy on their days off!
Catch your breath while we learn about the ancient practice of traditional Chinese tea ceremony, very zen. Then to top things off we'll try a delicious Asian dessert is beautiful enough to fill an Instagam feed!
What better way to learn about the history of Chinese migration to Australia and how it built the nation than through the people who have experienced it themselves and with some tasty treats along the way?
