Make a date with Malay cuisine

Malay Food Festival on June 26, 27 at the Galadari Hotel

By Nizla Naizer

Pineapple stewed into sweet and delicious ‘dosi’, dates cunningly combined into an irresistible pickle, flour delicately turned into the white ‘mani pittu’, coconut and jaggery transformed into a scrumptious ‘dodol’ – the typical Malay cuisine has evolved from the traditional South East Asian meal to something a little more Sri Lankan and infinitely more tasty.

And this June, fans of flavour and spice, sweet and tang can have a true experience of the uniquely Malay meals of Sri Lanka as the Sri Lanka Malay Confederation along with the Galadari Hotel conducts the eighth successful Malay Food Festival on June 26 and 27 at 7 pm. You will be privileged to taste the entire spectrum of Malay cuisine made according to age old recipes passed down through the generations since their ancestors arrived on the island from the Indonesian archipelago and Malaya centuries ago.
