Getting to Know Malaysia Through its Cuisine
A presentation and cooking demonstration “Malaysian Food Heritage” took place at the Embassy on Saturday, 25 February 2017. The event, co-organized with the Malaysia Club Berlin, featured Associate Professor Dr. M. Shahrim Ab Karim from the Department of Food Service Management at University Putra Malaysia, who delivered a presentation on the characteristics of Malaysian cuisine and how geography plays a major factor in defining such characteristics. Assisted by Chef Luqman Zhulkepli from Rumah Malaysia, Dr. Shahrim also demonstrated to the audience a few simple but tasty recipes – wholesome nasi ulam (herbal rice), sweet and spicy prawn sambal and refreshing lemongrass tea.
Guests also were treated to a spread of tropical fruits, imported all the way from Malaysia courtesy of DRS Trading Sdn. Bhd. Creative uses of said fruits were also showcased through some of the other dishes prepared beforehand by Dr. Shahrim (such as jackfruit cake, dragonfruit smoothie and durian fritters).
