Integrated resort (IR) operator Galaxy Macau said in a statement earlier this week that the Malaysian Cultural and Food Festival is set to return to the resort in Cotai from July 18 to 31 for its 10th anniversary.
The festival will be held in Galaxy Macau’s Oasis and East Square in Cotai, with the statement noting that this year’s festival also marks the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic friendship between China and Malaysia.
At Oasis, members of the public can sample flavours of Malaysia with an all-you-can-eat buffet, the statement said.
The statement added that renowned Malaysian chefs will demonstrate their culinary skills, while there will also be 10 hawker-style live stations offering Malaysian street food classics and over 40 traditional Malaysian delicacies.
The statement noted that giant versions of Malaysian-style chicken wings, extra-long satays, an oyster pancake, and a roti canai (Indian flatbread) will be available alongside a raft of chef specialties.
Moreover, four types of top-quality durians hand-picked by a “durian master” and flown in fresh from Malaysia a available, the statement said, while there will be a selection of durian drinks and desserts, along with other Malaysian favourites such as mangosteens and rambutans, are offered.
The Malaysian Dinner Buffet takes place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday to Thursday and 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. from Friday to Sunday during the period. Tickets are priced at 688 patacas for adults and 344 patacas for children aged 3-11 years old, while those under three eat for free.
Meanwhile, East Square will be transformed into a “mini-Malaysia” filled with Instagram-worthy photo opportunities during the festival’s duration and features a Malaysia-themed pop-up market offering traditional goodies and souvenirs, the statement said.
There will also be a range of classic snacks, desserts, and drinks, while F&B outlets in the square will feature a range of Malaysian food specials, the statement said. Visitors can also join a variety of handicraft workshops, games, and traditional Malaysian music and dance performances.
This undated handout photo provided by Galaxy Macau earlier this week shows a durian, which a statement from the integrated resort operator noted is Malaysia’s national fruit.
