Plan a food trip through Putrajaya
Putrajaya is built for lakeside walks between meals. Start at Selera Putra Souq or the People's Market, then mee rebus, fish head curry and a bowl of cendol, with food trucks lighting up Presint 3 after dark. Cross Jambatan Seri Wawasan (Seri Wawasan Bridge), pause at Masjid Putra (Putra Mosque) and Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, and look back at Perdana Putra over Tasik Putrajaya (Putrajaya Lake). Taman Botani Putrajaya and the Central Wetland close a soft evening by the water.
