Banjarmasin is frequently associated with its floating markets and rich culinary diversity, which showcases a blend of indigenous Banjarese cuisine with influences from Javanese, Malay, and even Chinese gastronomies. Kambang Iwak Besak Park, situated in the heart of this vibrant city, is surrounded by a melting pot of flavors that represent the city's historical connection with trade, river life, and cultural exchange. Although the park itself is more of a recreational space, it has indirectly contributed to the city’s food scene by providing a serene environment where food vendors and nearby eateries have thrived, offering visitors a taste of local delicacies.
