Marvelous Malaysia Food Festival at JW Marriott Beijing

Beijing – March 9, 2018. – Asia Bistro invites you to experience an authentic culinary journey to Malaysia. Partnered with Tourism Malaysia, Embassy of Malaysia in Beijing and Xiamen Air – Join us to experience an authentic culinary journey to Malaysia.

Only in a matter of a decade, Malaysian cuisine has progressed from a niched food obsession to one of the world’s most popular and fast-growing cuisines. People love it simply because of its richness in flavors and its diversity. Malaysia is home to a multi-racial community. The fact that Malaysian cuisine is influenced by 3 principal cultures—namely Chinese, Indian and Malay itself—helps to bring to the local Malaysians a broad array of dishes to relish.

As our Executive Chef Eng Wai Meng, who is a Malaysian, wishes that the local Chinese friends enjoy the same magnitude of Malaysian food experiences, we are delighted to bring in 3 Malay Chefs from Kuala Lumpur to create for us a true Malaysian Week! Our intention does not only aim to encourage the diners to experience Malaysian cuisine, but we also take this great opportunity to connect Chinese to Malaysian culture, lifestyle and traditions.

Three Chefs

Ali Tuwin – Head Malay Chef from Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel we invited to join us for our “Marvelous Malaysia”. His choice of specializing in Malay food has taken him to Japan, Mauritius and Brunei Darussalam, to name a few places. With his 20 years of experience, or more than 7,300 days of cooking Malaysian food, we guarantee the authentic taste you will love.

Mohd Salleh bin Idris always find himself in the kitchen, not trying to make a new Malay dish but he dedicated himself to practice simple Malay dishes we all know to preserve the authentic flavors as well as culture.

Vivian Khaw Chwee Chwee is a pastry chef who knows exactly what she wants right after completing her secondary school education. Vivian enrolled herself into a pastry and baking school in Kuala Lumper and that’s how she begins her career path. Curry puff and Assorted Nyonya Kuih are something you can’t miss!

Four Cuisines

NASI LEMAK – Considered as Malaysian’s national dish. Nasi Lemak is basically rice cooked in coconut milk. The sides also play a significant role here. Depending on where you are in Malaysia, it comes with a variety of accompaniments such as golden-fried anchovies, hard-boiled egg, peanuts, vegetables, lamb, chicken or beef curry.

LAKSA – The epic Malaysian spicy coconut noodle soup. If you considered yourself as a noodle lover, definitely, Laska is not the dish (bowl) you want to miss! It consists of rice noodles or rice vermicelli with chicken, prawn or fish, served in spicy soup based on either rich and spicy curry coconut milk, and loaded with all the essential classic Laksa toppings.

SATAY – Strips of chicken is marinated in a special Malay paste and skewered and grilled or broiled in the oven. It is then served with secret recipe peanut sauce for the ultimate taste sensation

SPICY TOMATO CHICKEN – Ayam Masak Merah or Spicy Tomato Chicken is not an everyday affair but more enjoyed on special occasions. The chicken is rubbed with turmeric and deep fried until the color turns golden. Simmering the tomato and chili paste with fragrant spices, the coconut milk brings a creamy dimension to this Malay dish.
