After last years Fabulous Food 1Malaysia, I've marked my calenders for this years one, did you?
Click here to take a look at the previous post for the first year.
This year while walking into PWTC, I was expecting the same crowd, vendors, environment etc, like it was last year. But guess what, they've upgraded to a much bigger exhibition hall, increased the number of events, cooking competition, hawker stalls and, yup; people! WOW! Our Malaysian cuisine is so proudly showcased for everyone.
I was lucky enough to be there on the grand launch of FabFood1Malaysia. Caught Tourism Minister, YB Dato’ Sri Dr. Ng Yen Yen's speech, in which she addressed that "..one day this kind of event would be worldwide to promote our local cuisines." CCC's full support on your campaign YB Dato' Sri Dr.Ng Yen Yen!
Last year, our highlighted foods were Nasi Lemak, Laksa and Meat Bone Tea(Bak Kut Teh).
This year it was Chicken Rice, Roti Canai and Satay :D
The essential ingredients for Chicken Rice, yums!
And to Street Food for some food for tea time (if you didn't know, Malaysians eat at any time of the day! Erm, actually they just eat continuously*smirks*)
Satay, one the highligted Malaysian dishes for this year
Otak-Otak
Prawn Dumplings
Fried Oyster in the making
One of the contestants dish with the theme One Malaysia
Frankly, I'm not only fascinated but also proud to be born in a country with such incredible culinary delights. This years cold displays, food presentation and fruit carvings are so much better, I've snapped so many shots for CCC, but unfortunately couldn't fit all the pictures into this blog.
However, they are on Facebook!
The only thing I found a little disappointing was that before I found out about the event, the event's own website was not updated with details, look at it here, it was just like any other website which has general non-in-depth stuff on Fabulous Food 1Malaysia.
Note to ministry, please improve on that as Malaysia is a popular tourist destination, and minus the overrated eating hot spots, tourist without contacts in the country often are subjected to overpriced, over hyped food.
But for anyone out there, check out the other website which is a general directory for our highlighted food on what it is and where to find it. Click here.
For international tourist who'd like a really foodie as a guide down here, you can always email me because I'd love to bring you out and about for the best food in town :)

Beautiful food! I don't know whether I should continue staring at it or try to eat it! lol
While most traditional Malaysian foods are detrimental to one's health (nasi lemak being a stand-out example), along with all the foods and snacks that are deep-fried, I do enjoy them once in a while.
Congratulations on becoming a blog of note! I hope that you'll have a few minutes to become acquainted with my blog about my life in Kuantan, Malaysia, and especially concerning my following of the new 5-star Zenith Hotel here.
