MACAU SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 18 July 2024 - Returning for its 10th edition, the much-loved Malaysian Cultural and Food Festival takes place at Galaxy Macau™ ("Galaxy Macau") from July 18-31, offering an authentic taste of Malaysia's vibrant cuisine and culture. East Square has been transformed into a tropical paradise, creating an immersive experience as visitors indulge in this 14-day cultural and culinary extravaganza. The festival officially began with a traditional Malaysian dance performance. The opening ceremony was graced by Ms. Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office and Mr. Muzambli Markam, Consul General, Consulate General of Malaysia in Hong Kong S.A.R. and Macao S.A.R.. Also in attendance were Mr. Raymond Yap, Senior Director - Integrated Resort Services, Galaxy Entertainment Group and Mr. Roger Lienhard, Executive Vice President - Hospitality of Galaxy Macau.
As well as celebrating Malaysia's rich culinary traditions and the country's vibrant arts and culture heritage, this year's festival also marks the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic friendship between China and Malaysia. Having received strong support from the Macao Government Tourism Office and Consulate General of Malaysia in Hong Kong S.A.R. and Macao S.A.R., this year's event, adding an exciting array of flavors to satisfy visitors' taste buds, aims to present a richer and more authentic showcase of traditional Malaysian cuisine, arts and culture. In addition to the Malaysian Dinner Buffet at Oasis at Galaxy Hotel, a pop-up Malaysian-themed marketplace has been set up at East Square this year. Over 5,000 kilograms of more than 50 types of Malaysian spices are directly transported to Macau, along with over 5 tons of carefully selected top-quality durians to delight diners. The festival showcases the best of Malaysian cuisine, and lovers of the country's exotic flavors will be spoiled for choice by the diverse array of classic delights and authentic dishes on offer.
Macau and Malaysia share deep historical roots. Be it the Malaysian Chinese food culture or the Malaysian-style snacks readily found on the streets of Macau, these elements highlight the close connection between the two places and the rich cultural exchange between their people. "This year's Malaysian Food Festival is a key event organized by Galaxy Macau in support of Macao SAR Government's efforts to deepen cross-sector integration and strengthen the synergy between 'tourism + gastronomy'. I believe the deep bond between Macau and Malaysia will shine brightly here, allowing visitors to enjoy delicious food while celebrating the profound connection between the two places. We are committed to deepening cross-sector integration under the Macao SAR Government's 'Tourism+' framework in the future." said Roger Lienhard.
After the opening ceremony, the attending guests proceeded to Oasis, where they sampled the eclectic flavors of Malaysia at an all-you-can-eat buffet amid the vivid sights, sounds, and scents for which the nation is famous.

The myriad spices combined with local ingredients create a dazzling array of tantalizing delicacies, each bite brimming with the irresistible charm of Malaysia.
Durian, Malaysia's national fruit, takes pride of place at the festival once again this year, with more than 10 types of top-quality durian, hand-picked by a durian master and flown in fresh from Malaysia, available for visitors to try.
