Food tours are without a doubt my favourite thing to do when travelling - I was a little unsure about this area at first as most food tours offered are based on modern restaurant experiences (nice, but not really what I was after) so I wasn't sure how authentic it could be. It ended up being really great though! They make an effort to take you to hidden warungs or restaurants that focus on traditional indonesian recipes hidden amongst the cafes and restaurants that could be in Melbourne or anywhere. In addition, our guide Ratih was one of the most helpful, friendly and knowledgeable guides we've had on food tours around the world, and was able to answer all our questions about Indonesian food, agriculture and culture and the different regions and influences. She also quickly changed the itinerary when she realised we had already been to one of the warungs on the program (it was just the 2 of us on the tour) in order to introduce us to more places and gave us recommendations for dishes to order next time we went there.
