A Locavore’s Dilemma

Introduction to Malaysian Cuisine

Sunday March 28th

Event leader Dave Willis

Join Dave in an exploration of Malaysian cuisine with our hosts Buddy and Margaret Abdullah, executive chef and proprietor of Chahaya Malaysia Restaurant.

This event will be an adventure into the food heritage and traditions of another culture, which itself  draws from Chinese, Indian and of course indigenous Malay cuisines.    It also makes extensive use of hot peppers (capsicum) that were brought by colonization and trade from America.  We will be introducing you to some of the unique ingredients.

Don’t worry about being embarrassed with chopsticks, they are not used here!  Spoons and forks are the normal tools.  Also don’t be deterred by the hot dishes,  there will be enough mild plates to suit the gentler palates.
