The Frietmuseum

Apart from installations, you can also treat yourself to authentic Belgium fries!

Cup Noodles Museum

Located in Japan, this museum is dedicated to Momofuku Ando’s tireless efforts towards inventing instant ramen noodles, and the traveller’s delight — the cup noodles. A gigantic wall traces the dishes’ rich history, while an ‘instant noodles tunnel’ creatively depicts approximately 800 product packages of brands from across the world. Amongst other exciting cooking experiments, a visitor can also take part in the chicken ramen making workshop where they can cook the noodles from scratch.

The Chocolate Museum

The Museu de la Xocolata or the Chocolate Museum in Barcelona, aims to expand people’s knowledge about chocolate while providing a visual and sensory experience which helps them explore the ingredient to the fullest. This is achieved by a range of engagements such as a cafeteria where visitors can taste different types of chocolates (hot and cold) and desserts. A facilitator then explains the complete journey of chocolate, right from how a cocoa bean is grown to the way the sweet treat is manufactured. Visitors can also take a look at different machinery which are used to make chocolate. The museum is a treat for chocolate lovers, since they not only get to indulge in different flavoured chocolates but also get to make interesting dishes!
