Addressing the event, HE. Dato’ Tan Yang, Ambassador of Malaysia to Vietnam highlighted the significance of Malaysia’s cuisine, saying that, the cuisine is a reflection of Malaysia's rich tapestry of cultures.

“It is our way of sharing Malaysia's diverse culture, and we are proud to have this opportunity today to share it with our Vietnamese friends,” he added.

Signature dishes such as Nasi Lemak and Teh Tarik are being prepared by renowned Malaysian chef Azlan Juri to ensure an authentic dining experience.

Guests attending the launch also enjoyed a special folk dance performance by a cultural troupe from Perak, Malaysia, along with an exhibition of traditional batik art.

This offers diners an authentic experience of both the nation’s cuisine and cultural heritage.

“Taste of Malaysia” is part of cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Malaysia.

“Exchanges through culture, traditional dances, as well as cuisine, will make bilateral relations between Malaysia and Vietnam become closer together,” the Ambassador affirmed.
