Chefs from Malaysia hope to enthrall city foodies with delicacies from their homeland

Foodies can now sample Malaysian cuisine at a food fest organised by Ocean at the Sahara Star. Chef Ros Kamila and Chef Sharizan have been specially flown down from Malaysia to the city for the event.


Nasi-Lemak is one of the dishes available on the menu

Malaysian food has Indian, Thai, Arab and Chinese influences. Diners can sample a variety of dishes, including Sayur Tumis Air (dry beancurd, glass noodles, and potato), the flavourful aroma and creamy richness of Kurma Kambing (lamb cooked in coconut milk and spices) and Seri Muka (sticky rice base with pandan leaves).

Their range of desserts from traditional street stalls such as the Bubur Jagung (sweet corn in milky broth) or Onde-Onde (palm sugar wrapped in rice flour and then boiled in hot water), is likely to take you straight to foodie heaven.

Saya Chef Kamila, "If you are looking for an authentic Malaysain experience, this is the place to be. We are focusing on giving people a chance to taste Malaysian food, without compromising on taste and quality. We have also sourced ingredients from Malaysia to ensure we get the right texture and flavours that are unique to Malaysian food."
