Penang cuisine requires no introduction in the
arena of gastronomy and it is one of the most loved foods by Malaysians as well
as internationals. Whether it’s exotic
local street food or the elegance of fine dining, Penang seems to have it all.
Reputed as being the "food
paradise" in the region, Penang has one of the most diverse food fare in
Malaysia and at times, with the influences from the Indian, Malay, Chinese and
Thai cuisine, it becomes unique to the island itself.
In 2011 the spicy, sour, fruity and fragrant Penang assam laksa was voted seventh out of 50 most delicious food in the world in a global poll by CNN.
To ensure the authenticity of
this promotion, the Penang Chefs Association of Malaysia has appointed two (2)
chefs from Penang to assist in the food preparation. Chef Johari Ishak
and Chef Mohamad Radhi Rosli will work closely with the hotel’s kitchen team, focusing on serving authentic Penang favourites to all guests.
