Since Independence Day, I've been watching videos of tourists travelling to Malaysia and most of these talked about the natural beauty, rich culture and the food haven available here. In a way, they give us some good feelings about the country, often not highlighted and forgotten by the usual political bickerers. Due to the diverse culture that we have, the kind of spectrum of food dishes that we have here is just what the tourists find attractive.
Since Friday (last two days), the shopping square (Centrio) nearby our home became host to a popular festive food event, namely Havoc Food Festival. As usual, we try to avoid crowded places and not go there. Somehow yesterday, we thought that maybe we should just try and see what they have there. We waited until around 6 pm to go there, just after the rain had cleared, thinking that there will be not many people due to the earlier rain. How wrong were we.
We had to park our car far away (two streets away) and walked to the square. We bought some food that we thought that are not usually available for us. One of these is a lamb shank dish from the well-known Chef Ammar stall. In fact, he was actually there in person.
Besides food, there were other activities like bird petting and religious lectures and entertainment.
We went back by Maghrib time but my other half and son went to listen to the religious lecture and entertainment.
The festival is still on today. Those who want to go, be prepared to park the vehicle far away and walk to the event.
