New Johor MB Launched Johor’s Finest In Cuisine, Culture and Crafts In Seri Pacific Hotel Kuala Delucca Kuala LumpurIf you’re a Klang Valley resident but craving for some authentic Johor food without the 300 odd kilometers and over three hour head start for lunch or dinner, then make your way to Seri Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur. Celebrating the Citrawarna Malaysia 2013, the Hotel together with Johor State Tourism has organised an elaborate Johor Food & Cultural Festival 2013 from now until 3 June 2013.
Officiated by the State’s newly sworn-in 15th Menteri Besar, Permas state assembly man YB Dato’ Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, the event is a fanfare of feast and festivities. Celebrity chef and Johor native, Chef Abdul Razak meticulously planned the array of offerings to include dishes from the yesteryears. We are also been entertained by the culturally rich State with their lively joget and zapin as well as a medley of Johor folk songs. These dances will be performed daily during lunch time and dinner time. Meanwhile, as eye candy the hotel lobby will be transformed into a mini Johor with displays of arts and crafts. Those interested may purchase them direct from these craft makers.
