Culinary Evening: "An Authentic Taste of Malaysia and Singapore" with Mrs. Poon
Members are invited to celebrate the Chinese New Year with a private dinner at Café Malacca. Located at the footsteps of the University in the Western District, the
restaurant features authentic Malaysian and Singaporean hawker fares made famous along the Strait of Malacca – Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
Under the supervision of Café Malacca’s Culinary Director Mrs. Poon, the culinary
team travels to Malaysia and Singapore to immerse themselves in the proper
preparation and presentation of classic hawker food, including recipes and cooking
techniques, and tracks down interesting and unique dishes for the indulgence of diners in Hong Kong.
Their culinary team will prepare a special CNY menu including some of the national
favourites of Malaysia and Singapore – Satay, Pepper Crab, Char Koay Teow, Laksas,
and the rich and creamy Durian Pudding made from D24 or Musang King Durians.
