The Authentic Malaysian Food and Culture Week on Wednesday opened at the Sheraton Hanoi Hotel’s Hemispheres Steak & Seafood Grill Restaurant, featuring tasty food and traditional dance displays.
Malaysian specialties such as satay (skewered and grilled meat), nasi lemak (rice cooked with coconut milk) and roti canai (Indian-influenced flat bread) will be prepared by two top chefs from Kuala Lumpur. Vietnamese guests will have a chance to watch them in action preparing the dishes.
A teh tarik (pulled tea) demonstration by Mior Sazali Bin Mat Ali, acclaimed as a ‘Teh Tarik Tourism Ambassador’ will be held daily. The technique requires pouring a combination of hot tea and milk from one pot to another, aiming to mix it well and cool it, while dancing and performing acrobatic movements.
Moreover, Malaysian artists from different ethnic groups, including Indian, Chinese and Malaysian perform folk dances on the capital streets.
Hosted by the Malaysian Embassy, in collaboration with the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board and Sheraton Hanoi Hotel, the week celebrates the 55th anniversary of Malaysian National Day and aims to promote Malaysian culture to Vietnam.
The event finishes up on Sunday.
