KUALA LUMPUR: From the smell of curry leaves and the vibrant colour of turmeric to the surprising role tapioca played in the nation’s early growth, the gastronomical wonders of Malaysia extend far beyond just the taste.

To highlight this, a mini educational workshop aimed at educating key tourism industry stakeholders was organised as part of the Malaysian Women Tourist Guide Association (MWTGA) 15th anniversary celebration here yesterday.
