The menus include traditional, quality organic products that will be showcased for the very first time at a gastronomy event in Malaysia. Chef Figueroa will be cooking with ingredients that include Quinoa, Kiwicha, Chirimoya, Lúcuma, Amaranto, Camu Camu and Peruvian Aji Chillies, amongst the array of unique products specially flown in from Peru.

Peru has one of the oldest, richest and most diverse culinary traditions in the world that dates back 5000 years. It is a true symbiosis of both ancient and diverse culinary cultures and practices and the result of thousands of years of cultural evolution. The products that are brought in specially for this showcase are also highly sought after in cities such as New York, London, Paris, Rome and Tokyo.

Aji De Gallina
Aji De Gallina is a delicious Peruvian classic - slightly spicy and bright yellow from the famous aji Amarillo peppers, and rich from the unusual cream sauce made with ground walnuts. This dish is traditionally served over rice, with boiled yellow potatoes. Truly a hearty Peruvian chicken dish and comfort food quality with each bite!

The Anticucho is an exquisite dish of Peruvian origin made of any kind of meat that was previously in a tasty marinade marina. Fish lovers will be delighted with  Anticuchos De Pescado, where chunky pieces of swordfish served on the skewer, grilled to perfection served together with cumin-sautéed corn, grilled potatoes and Peruvian onion salad.

Rice Quinoa Pudding with Purple Mazamorra and Glazed Fruits
Complete your Peruvian culinary journey with a sweet dessert of Rice Quinoa Pudding with Purple Mazamorra and Glazed Fruits to warm your heart and soothe your senses. Purple corn, one of the unique products specially flown in from Peru are used for the dessert, which gives it a lovely natural colouring. I enjoyed tasting the sweet melt-in-mouth rice quinoa pudding that is cooked to the creamy and rich texture.

To further enhance the Peruvian experience, guests will also enjoy a glass of exotic Pisco cocktail during dinner. The national drink of Peru, Pisco is a grape distillate, a fine spirit, made exclusively in Peru by fermentation of fresh must. It is still distilled following the traditions of its first makers, dating back to the end of the 16th century.
