It's that time of the year again! The world recognize, award winning gourmet festival is back. The Malaysia International Gourmet Festival(MIGF) this year is celebrated with the theme of "Classical Chefs".
For the entire month of October, twenty eight of Malaysia's gourmet restaurants will be serving special degustation(tasting) menus with special festival offers. The cuisines varies from Malay, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, French, Italian and Lebanese, and with new additions from South Korea and Latin America.
As for the public, this year MIGF will be going public with Taste MIGF. This event which is of free admission will be allowing the public to observe the fine dining scenes in Malaysia. Best of all, you could also taste all of the food with Taste Tokens which could be brought in a booklet at the cost of RM50. 
The price of the dishes would be only priced from 1-3 tokens and each token is only at the price of RM5. Imagine tasting food from gourmet restaurant at RM5!
