Twenty-eight restaurants in Kuala Lumpur will roll up their sleeves to prepare promotional menus made up of cuisine from the three major races in Malaysia at discounted price for a month starting October 1.
They are the participating restaurants in the Fabulous Food 1Malaysia Campaign (FF1M), organised by the Tourism Ministry, under the Malaysia International Gourmet Festival (MIGF) theme.
The Fabulous Food 1Malaysia campaign, which was introduced in 2009 and aimed at promoting Malaysia as a country enriched with variety of food, is held for three months starting from October and features a different theme on each month.
Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said MIGF would be the theme for October, Asean Heritage Food Trail with Chef Wan in November and Street and Restaurant Food Festival in December.
"We want to introduce our local food to tourists so that they will remember our country not only for the beautiful places but also our cuisine," she told a news conference here Thursday.
Popular local dishes rendang, nasi briani and char kueh teow would be compulsory menu this year. Last year, they were satay, roti canai and chicken rice.
