Venezuelan Gastronomic Festival at Prince Hotel, KL
Venezuela has always been known to me as a country with a bevy of beauties, as it is apparent from their impressive record in always winning beauty pageants. However, if you talk about Venezuelan cuisine, it is a whole new league for me. Thanks to Prince Hotel which is hosting the Venezuelan Gastronomic Festival for the Fifth time in Malaysia now, I had the chance to savour and embrace Venezuelan culture and cuisine.
Venezuelan Week at Prince Hotel
Venezuelan tidbits
Prince Hotel is bringing delicious and exotic dishes which used to be made in Venezuela back from 200 years ago! Celebrity Chef Tamara Rodriquez was specially flown in all the way from Venezuela to indulge us spoiled Malaysians with her unique recipes, specially prepared on the occasion of her country’s Bicentennial anniversary of Independence.

Herbs and Spices
Some of the signature Venezuelan dishes that night include:
Ensalada de aguates y palmitos tomatitos relenos (Avocado and Palm Heart Salad with stuffed cherry tomatoes)
Tachira-style Stuffed Hen
Tamal stuffed with spicy black beans and wrapped in banana leaves
White Fish Fillet with cashews and nutmeg sauce (Fillets Angoustura con crust de merey y salsa de nuze moscada)
One of the dishes to note was the roasted caramel steak which was tender and juicy. The caramel sauce was not too thick nor thin, and blended with the steak perfectly.
Roasted Caramel Beef
Asado Negro
Melose oriental coconut and cheese (Melose oriental de coco y queso creamy cake)
Bienmesabe
Green papaya in syrup with cheese (Dulce de lechoza con terrine de queso)
All the Venezuelan dishes above were personally crafted by Chef Tamara using a selection of ancient Venezuelan ingredients such as cocoa, and indigenous spices and fruits, nuts and meat.
Besides the special Venezuelan dishes mentioned, there was also the usual spread of buffet offered by Eccucino.
