For example, you can get eco-friendly woven handbags by Ravaka, patterned clothing by Corak, and patchwork kits by Queen L Craft.

Of course, what would an arts-and-culture festival be without proper showings of work created by talented local creators?

At AMBOI@TRX, you'll be invited to appreciate fresh and inspiring works by upcoming artists at the UOB Art Space, while also seeing how food can be turned into art courtesy of The Rojak Projek.

If you want to experience some authentic Malaysian arts and culture vibes, head on to TRX@AMBOI this weekend with your friends and family!
