Here for Venezuelan Night at the Pullman KLCC on Friday. I am glad
that we make it although the traffic to KL on Friday night was bad. Its Venezuela Gastronomic Festival 2015 so we learnt more about Venezuelan arts, culture and people at the same feast on
their unique delicacies and cuisines.

So do you want to know what are the emblematic Venezuelan flavours? We had appetizers Arepa (cornmeal cake), Empanada (dried fried, stuffed corn flour patties), Cassava bread, Cachapas, Arroz Con Coco (coconut rice); main course such as Asado Negro (roasted beef caramel), Polvorosa de Pollo (chicken pot pie), Skate fish stew and desserts Quisillo (caramel flan), Marquesa and many more.

Overall it was a good experience to try the Venezuelan food and
also to get to know more about their country. Who know I might be going there
for holiday or work right?

Empanada de pescado (fish empanadas);

I like the cachapas, the fresh corncake with cheese.
It was make on the spot something like pancake with corn floor a little sweet
and the cheese is salty. Another one is the empanada de pescado, the fish
empanadas.

Everythings looks amazing! The price isnt that bad too. Hehe. Maybe i should treat my parents here one of the nights this week :D
ReplyDeleteWow, all the food here looked delicious and delightful. I also want to taste Venezuelan flavors as most of them are not available in the restaurants I have visited.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks really good! I would love to taste all of them myself, if given the chance!
ReplyDeleteWhat I love during festivals aside from the shows is the exhibit, like what you shared above, and it's a photo exhibit. Aside from that, is the food. Have you tasted all of those? Esp. the shrimp with tamarind sauce.
ReplyDeleteWow! The food really looks delicious! I hope there would be exhibits like this near my place. :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks delicious! The guava cake sounds tempting to me.
ReplyDeleteFood looks so delicious and quite a good variety of dishes they have on the table.
ReplyDeleteNo photo of the skate stew? That was the one I was most curious about :( Anyhoo, I'd love to try the corncakes too, they look plain but sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks amazing! Its a food feast on my eyes. Looks all yummy

ReplyDeleteAmazing food! I've heard about gastronomy before, and a friend of mine who is a chef also shared to me about his dream experience to be in a molecular gastronomy class!
ReplyDeleteYou got me at the first photo. I was scrolling down when I thought it was you in a beautiful white dress! Haha... I like the look of the Polvorosa de Pollo (chicken pot pie), looks like something I will want to try...
ReplyDeleteI'm not too familiar with Venezuelan food. Their food does looks really tasty.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very fun event, would have loved to attend too. And oh my gosh, those dishes look super delicious. I should plan a trip to Venezuela...
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed gastronomic for the foods are for the belly p Venezuelan food for that matter.
ReplyDeleteSo many food! This post made me hungry. Such a great event where you can learn a different culture/cuisine then enjoying the food at the same time.
ReplyDeleteOne of my dreams is to attend a cool event like this! The food looks totally great :D
ReplyDeleteCan't help but the food here makes me really hungry. All else are magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI only knew Venezuela from their gorgeous beauty queens. Good to see that they are also promoting their cuisine to the world. That tempting looking Guava Cake I want to eat right now.
ReplyDeleteThe Venezuelan Seafood cocktail looks like "Callos" in which I'd like to cook - the beef tripe. A similarity for Portuguese or Spaniards cuisine.
ReplyDeletewow, the food looks good. especially the roast beef caramel. price is pretty affordable too, considering the exchange rate for sgd/nut recently.
