Gala Dinner To Celebrate The Launch Of Turkish Cuisine Week At Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur

 

Traveling to the Republic of Turkey has always been in my bucket list as I really admire not only the beauty of its nature and amazing architecture, but also the richness of its beautiful traditional and Islamic historic culture as we all know that Republic of Turkey is part of the world's earliest permanently settled regions that inhabited by ancient civilizations. 

 

No doubt that Turkiye is famously known worldwide for its rich, flavorful, multi-layered and diverse dishes that are spread beyond the borders of Istanbul and Anatolia to the Balkans, Eastern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. This is the reason why there are close similarity in term of the cuisine from the nearby regions.

Due to the richness of this country in its nature, culture and tradition, Turkiye has becoming one of the favorite destinations for Malaysians to travel and experience its architecture, traditional and Islamic culture and lifestyle and its cuisine.

 

Turkish cuisine is a defining element in Turkish culture with its legendary flavours and creative presentations. Besides the incredible flavours, another interesting aspect of the Turkish cuisine is zero waste which has gained a lot of attention in today's world. 

Zero waste has been a feature of Turkish cuisine for centuries and it inherits a kind of wisdom following the principle of nothing should be wasted. For example, dried bread is turned into homemade crackers, and peels of the edible fruits are used for making jam.
