Food lovers looking for the true taste of Malaysia, from satays to curries, noodles to desserts will be thrilled to know there is something for every palate, meal, and occasion at the 2005 Eat Vancouver Show(http://www.eat-vancouver.com).
Coming to B.C. Place Stadium from April 22 to 24, the event presents culinary enthusiasts with a fabulous opportunity to sample favourite Malaysian cuisine sumptuously whipped up by Spicy Steve Sorko, host of the award-winning SHAW TV cooking show, Spicy Steve (http://www.spicysteve.com). Steve is an authority on Asian cuisine, culture and travel as well as an accomplished worldwide adventure traveller with endless stories to tell. He learned the art of Malaysian cooking in the kitchens of friends, families, street vendors, and professional hotel and restaurant chefs on his many fun escapades to Malaysia.
Malaysia is nestled in the heart of South East Asia, sandwiched between Thailand to the north, Singapore to the south, and Indonesia to the west. Its strategic location earned this tropical paradise its reputation for being the “best part of the sandwich.” Where else but in Malaysia can one enjoy viewing unique nature, embark on an exhilarating jungle safari, mingle with ancient cultures or indulge in amazing culinary adventures in a clean, friendly, safe, English-speaking environment on an affordable budget? In Malaysia, ten Canadian dollars can buy an individual anywhere from three to five scrumptious meals.
Eating is one of the popular pastimes of Malaysians. Malaysian cuisine is yummy, exotic, stimulating and very diverse. Its exciting flavours and culinary styles will provoke just about anyone to endless gastronomic frenzy. With its multi-cultural population — Malay, Chinese and Indian — Malaysian food has become a fusion of flavours, making it one of the world’s most distinctive cuisines. Other than the three main ethnic cooking styles, the Nyonya and Indian-Muslim dishes are a foodie’s dream. The Nyonya cuisine is a unique blend of Chinese and Malay cookery, strongly distinguished by its sweet, sour, spicy and pungent aroma. Its origins can be traced back to the Peranakan (Straits Chinese) of State of Melaka some 400 years ago.
Indian and Malay cuisines are spicier in taste while Chinese cuisine is milder. There are also cuisines of other ethnic groups from Malaysia Borneo, and a growing choice of international menus. Some popular Malaysian dishes include satay, beef rendang, mee goreng and nyonya curry. One can have a different Malaysian dish daily for a year and still have more left to taste! With such mouth-watering blend of food available, it is no wonder Malaysia is called the meeting point for Eastern and Western cultures — a true melting pot, and a food-lover’s paradise.
Come, Experience Malaysia — Truly Asia through your Tastebuds with Spicy Steve at the Malaysian Booth at the 2005 Eat Vancouver show from April 22 to 24 at B.C. Place Stadium. Main event sponsor is Tourism Malaysia (http://www.tourism.gov.my).
