Malaysia International Gourmet Festival-Part 1






First, a little bit of a background, okay?

The Malaysia International Gourmet Festival made its debut in 2001 when the organisers, AsiaReach Events, brought together an intrepid group of 13 restaurants to form the inaugural KL International Gourmet Festival (KLIGF). Now it is into the 8th successive year.

The Festival’s aims from the outset were to increase the size of the local fine dining population for the mutual benefit of the participating restaurants; to create a sustained interest in the local fine dining scene; and, ultimately, to make Malaysia an international food tourism destination of choice.

Special Festival Menus sold at special prices and Festival Offers not only help attract a new generation of diners, they also persuade existing diners to try different venues and dine out more often.

Canon is one of the main sponsors. And it delighted me with an invitation to attend the Gala Launch on the 30th October. You see, the festival is supposed to run for the whole month of November.

Let me give you here some pictures to give you an idea for people who did not attend. You may recognise some of the faces.















































Let me give you here some of the food we sampled. You may recognise some of the food.
