MALAYSIA INTERNATIONAL GASTRONOMY FESTIVAL (MIGF) ~ Theme 'HIGH OCTANE CHEFS' Are Back! At Berjaya Times Square

MALAYSIA INTERNATIONAL GASTRONOMY FESTIVAL (MIGF) 

1st to 31st October 2016

INTERNATIONAL GASTRONOMY FESTIVAL 

 During this time, Special Festival Menus will be presented by each of the participating restaurants and are available at special Festival prices designed to make it easier than ever to experience the sumptuous food for which these venues have earned their reputations. 

The theme for this year’s Festival is High Octane Chefs – an apt title considering that the ever-popular Taste MIGF takes place on the weekend between the Singapore and Malaysian F1 Grand Prix races, during which the city is expected to be packed with international motoring enthusiasts.

Reflecting the evolution of the dining scene in Malaysia, MIGF now stands for the Malaysia International Gastronomy Festival and not the previous ‘Gourmet Festival’. Whereas premium dining was once limited to the usual staples in a few five-star hotels, restaurants of all types have sprang up over the years offering many types of dining experiences.
