The Gathering of the Finest at Malaysian International Gourmet Festival
Ten years ago, fine dining in Malaysia revolved only around a handful of high class restaurants. Today, more than 70 fine dining restaurants have mushroomed around the country, thanks to the effort that is Malaysian Gourmet International Festival (MIGF). This year marks the 10th year of MIGF, showcasing fabulous food from 30 top fine dining restaurants throughout the month of October. I was privileged to attend the MIGF Gala Launch last week, with the Festival theme of “Magical Chefs”.

Here are some of the fabulous people who attended the MIGF event as well:
