You do not have to be an expert in Asian cuisine to realise the critical importance of rice in this region. Malaysia is no exception. At the northern edge of Pantai Cenang, Laman Padi is a tribute to the history of rice cultivation in Malaysia.

The complex houses a rice museum highlighting the development of rice cultivation in Malaysia and you can also try your hand at paddy planting using both traditional and modern methods. If all the talk about rice has stirred your appetite, there is a restaurant offering rice-based traditional Malay dishes and delicacies.
