HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Sheraton Saigon Grand Opera Hotel in HCM City is celebrating the "Beautiful Taste of Malaysia" food week from September 6 to 16.

It is being hosted by the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board and the Malaysian Consulate General in the city to offer locals the opportunity to experience Malaysia's rich culinary heritage and traditional culture.

To also be held at Hanoi Daewoo Hotel from September 12 to 16 and Lesung Saigon Restaurant in HCM City from September 11 to 16, the event will offer visitors a chance to savor a variety of dishes prepared by chef Azlan Juri from Malaysia.
