Malaysian culinary week to be held in Hanoi

Typical Malaysian food and drinks will be introduced during the Malaysian Culinary Week to be organised at Melia Hotel, Hanoi from August 26 to 31.
Two chefs from Malaysia will bring distinctive offerings from their country such as Roti Canai fried cake, Satay roast meat, fried rice noodles, Roti Jala pancake, Nasi Lemak coconut rice and Teh Tarik tea.
Malay food uses fresh ingredients and lots of seasoning and herbs to enhance the food’s special flavours. Desserts in Malaysia are quite sweet, often based on coconut milk, and tropical fruits are also served as desserts.
Among many beverages, Teh Tarik is a popular Malaysian tea made by combining two main ingredients: tea and condensed milk. The tea is brewed using the unique technique of pouring it back and forth from a container held high to another one held below. In Malaysia, there are often competitions and performances to show off this special skill.
Also during the event, Malaysian artists will perform their traditional dances which include court and folk dances with drums in the background.
