Travel Daily | Malaysia food festival

There was a large turnout from the travel industry who were the first to try a feast of hot and spicy dishes from Malaysia’s southern states, specially prepared by chefs flown in from Kuala Lumpur.

“This is an opportunity for everyone to enjoy authentic Malaysian cuisine right in the heart of Sydney’s CBD,” said Roslan Abdullah, the newly appointed Director of Tourism Malaysia in Sydney.

Malaysia Airlines said it was proud to be a co- sponsor of the event, saying that these were exciting times for the airline as it accelerates its expansion into Australia.

“From November this year, we will increase our current 53 flights to 72 flights per week across the region,” said Julia Loong, Malaysia Airlines Marketing Manager, Australia.

“And, the really good news is that from 5th February, we will operate three flights a day from Sydney to KL, which will increase our Australia/NZ operations to 75 flights per week, or 37% capacity growth,” she said.

The Malaysian Food Festival lunch buffet Tuesday to Friday costs $40 pp, Sunday $50 pp, while the dinner buffet on Friday and Saturday nights is $50 pp.
