It was sizzling night at Malaysia International Gourmet Festival and its spectacular preview, Taste MIGF 2014 kicked off with a scorching Gala Launch as this year’s Red Hot Chefs at Sunway Convention Centre, Selangor on last Friday, 26^th Sept 2014. It was a yearly affair that I would not missed with good food, good companions and beaming entertainment.

Theatre of Cuisines

The Theatre of Cuisines filled to the brim with stunning 28 participating restaurant booths in this year’s festival, teemed with invitees eagerly sampling the lush fare on offer. 

It’s global indeed as fare from the four corners of the Earth were well represented, from Sri Lankan to Cantonese, Modern French to Italian, Japanese to Thai, and a fusion of International and Western specialities.

Eye catching stilt walkers in colourful culinary-themed costumes moseyed through the crowds, stopping for selfies with foodies as they munched on everything from mini wagyu burgers, blow-torched tuna, French snails and pan-seared tiger prawns.

The Epicure Gourmet Village located just next to the Theatre of Cuisines. You can sample and purchase fine food products, fresh seafood, gourmet meats and cheeses, premium coffees and teas, the newest technological appliances, excellent wines, inventive cocktails, even a booth by famed culinary institute Le Cordon Bleu.

Entertainment for the night came from a duo of top-notch bands, starting with the Aseana Percussion Unit who let loose a slew of infectious rhythms that kept the atmosphere flaming hot. Then The Elements whose set continued to move the crowd as they trod the dance floor and danced the night away. In between, a DJ threw down a remixed set of classics, from The Supremes to Michael Jackson. Beat it!

Also making a special appearance was the spanking new Jaguar F-Type Coupe in jet black. A vision of automotive beauty, the car fit like a glove into the Theatre of Cuisines alongside the gorgeous food on display.

Over the month of October, all the 28 participating restaurants will be featuring their special Festival Menus, so if you missed out on sampling their cuisine, visit the restaurants themselves for a fuller experience.
