MALAYSIA INTERNATIONAL GASTRONOMY FESTIVAL 2018

Muhibah Chefs! Good Food Brings Us Together

The Malaysia International Gastronomy Festival is back and will take place from the 1st to 30th September 2018. Throughout the Food Festival month, Malaysia’s premier league of dining venues will serve special Festival Menus at special Festival prices.

Adding to this will also be a host of Festival Offers that are sure to elevate each dining experience. The theme for this year’s festival is ‘Muhibah Chefs! Good Food Brings Us Together’. There is no such thing as too many chefs spoiling the broth when it comes to MIGF.

All the chefs work together for the common good and every diner benefits. After all, nothing connects people better than food and this Malaysia Food Festival theme reflects this too. This year’s MIGF features cuisines from around the world including Malaysian, French, Sri Lankan, Korean, Cantonese, Italian, South Asian, Western, Asian Fusion and many more.

Taste MIGF Is Back!
The spectacular preview event of MIGF will be returning to Berjaya Times Square Hotel & Convention Centre for one gastronomic weekend on the 1st and 2nd September. Taste MIGF will gather Malaysia’s best restaurants in a special dining area – the Theatre of Cuisines – where bite-sized portions of food are on offer from their specially created Festival Menus. 

Taste MIGF promises exciting gastronomical activities for the whole family in a carnival-like atmosphere. Aside from the delicious food being served in the Theatre of Cuisines, visitors to Taste MIGF can also shop at the Epicure International Gourmet Village, attend Master Chefs cooking classes, enjoy wine appreciation talks and a host of other informative lifestyle workshops.  

Super Gourmet Safari at the Theatre Of Cuisines

The Theatre of Cuisines will be open from 11am to 10pm on both days of Taste MIGF. Visitors can embark on a Super Gourmet Safari to sample culinary creations by some of the country’s best chefs as they serve up tasting portions from their Festival Menus. Taste portions are designed to be big enough to satisfy but small enough to allow space for as many dishes as possible. For more details, visit us at www.tastemigf.com
