SINGAPORE — In celebration of the highly anticipated Visit Malaysia
2026 (VM2026) campaign, Tourism Malaysia has officially partnered with Grand
Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore to present “Flavours of Malaysia”.
Reflecting a unified national effort to promote the country's rich culinary
traditions, Tourism Malaysia has fostered strong collaboration with the Sarawak
Trade and Tourism Office Singapore and the Sabah Trade and Tourism Office
Singapore, supported by the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore.
Running from 1 June to 12 July 2026 at the hotel’s signature
riverfront restaurant, Food Capital, this premier culinary event goes beyond
standard buffet offerings. It features a distinctive ten-hands dining
experience, bringing together five master chefs in a collaborative showcase of
the unique and nuanced food landscapes of five major Malaysian states: Johor,
Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, and Sarawak.
"Food is a universal language that transcends borders, and
there is no better way to capture the spirit of Malaysia than through our
diverse regional culinary heritage. By collaborating closely with our partners
at the Sabah and Sarawak Trade and Tourism Offices, this promotion stands as a
true testament to our 'Malaysia Truly Asia' identity,” said Mr Mohd Amirul
Rizal Abdul Rahim, Director General of Tourism Malaysia.
The "Flavours of Malaysia" initiative introduces an
authentic, multi-layered culinary perspective of both Peninsular and East
Malaysia. Diners will explore a tapestry of Malay, Chinese, and Indian
influences alongside indigenous Bornean traditions, with dishes shaped by
deeply personal family recipes and festive traditions. The esteemed culinary
lineup includes:
Chef Peter Pang – Royal-inspired flavours of Johor
Chef Andri bin Abdul Hadi – Contemporary urban classics from Kuala
Lumpur
Chef Azhar bin Bah – Vibrant street food favourites from Penang
Chef Linn Yong – Indigenous and coastal flavours of Sabah
Chef Lesly Anak A'ik – Traditional heritage dishes from Sarawak
Designed to cater to a broad audience of local and international
food enthusiasts, the buffet is halal-certified, offering an immersive culinary
journey that highlights the stories, traditions, and cultural influences behind
Malaysia’s iconic dishes.

Singapore is highly regarded as a key market for Malaysia’s tourism
industry. A total of 1.7 million visitors were recorded in April 2026, marking
a 7.4 per cent increase compared to 1.6 million visitors during the same month
last year. This further solidifies Malaysia’s identity as a leading destination
for authentic and diverse culinary experiences, especially among gastronomy
enthusiasts.
As Tourism Malaysia continues to intensify promotional efforts
leading up to VM2026, initiatives such as “Flavours of Malaysia” play a crucial
role in strengthening destination awareness and inspiring travel through
authentic cultural and gastronomic experiences. In turn, this further elevates
Malaysia’s world-class gastronomy on the global stage.
