Malaysian guest chef duo Chef Amin Ariff and Chef Azhar Nordin from Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur are showcasing a kaleidoscope of Malaysia flavours in HCM City.

The food event Straight Outta Malaysia at Sheraton Saigon Grand Opera features an array of authentic and innovative Malaysian dishes, including the renowned laksa curry with the perfect combination of traditional Malay gravy and the aromatic spiciness of curry leaves, creating an explosion of creamy and spicy flavours.

Foodies have a chance to discover the contrasting flavours of two Nasi Lemak variations: the traditional version, a combination of white rice, ghee butter, coconut, turmeric, and cashews offering a unique sweetness, and the national version, a richer experience with dried fish, roasted peanuts, and coconut with a creamy flavour, which is served with spicy sambal chili paste.

At the grill station, a series of satay skewers, originating from Arabic culinary style, are presented in an eye-catching manner with the distinctive aroma of peanut sauce.

All the delicacies of Malaysian cuisine are available at the all-day live buffet station of Saigon Café until September 16.

This month, Chinese gastronomes can indulge in the finest dishes from China’s eight regions via a specially-curated menu.

The Bát Ẩm Thiên Thu menu represents eight culinary traditions of eight regions well-known for their food diversity - Shandong, Guangdong, Sichuan, Hunan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Xian.

Most-known among the eight, Cantonese cuisine sets its footprint in the world’s culinary map thanks to its fresh and mild flavour with an elegant presentation.

At the hotel’s Li Bai restaurant, in addition to the available contemporary dishes, lovers of Cantonese cuisine should not miss the abalone stuffed with shrimp accompanied by a delicate seafood broth, a signature palate to help ease the warm yet rainy weather in Saigon.

The special menu is served during lunch and dinner until September 30. VNS
