Asia Music Festival Food

The food stalls at Asia Music Festival greeted guests as soon as they entered by the main entrance. They lined the side neatly, in a row.

Each stall sold representative food from an Asian country. 

1) MALAYSIA

Fishballs and cocktail sausages and chicken wings 
What's so Malaysian about these? I suppose it helped that Nasi Lemak, Laksa Sarawak, Satay and Penang Fried Kuay Teow were sold too.

Penang Fried Kuay Teow, and Chicken or Beef Satay

2) VIETNAM

Vegetable Rolls
They looked sorry, didn't they? And they were sitting on a piece of Good Morning towel too. How presentable.

Pho Bo
Yeah right. The Malaysian version. I would be embarassed to call this Pho Bo. 

3) THE PHILIPPINES
The stall sold Stir-fried Rice Noodles. I did not take a picture. But just refer to No. 1) Penang Fried Kuay Teow. They looked the same. 

4) JAPAN
There were sushi and teriyaki chicken rice here.

 No raw fish here ...

5) THAILAND

Pandan Chicken

Mango Salad

6) INDONESIA

These were the deep-fried chicken wings for the Chicken Lalapan, and deep-fried Spanish Mackerel for Fish Lalapan. Not even a single garnishing on the tray? Looked no different than those sold in coffee shops. Could have just bought this from any economic food stall counter. Again, refer to No. 1) Deep-fried Chicken Wings. The same thing. 

7) SINGAPORE

Singapore Chicken Rice


8) BRUNEI
There was Nasi Kandar and Ambuyat.

Ambuyat

9) INDIA

Chicken Briyani.
There was also Lamb Briyani.

10) HONG KONG
 
Dim Sum
 
Roasted Duck Rice

Ok. I am not happy with the food sold. There was no excitement, no sophistication, and no effort made in showcasing the best and the authentic. And get rid of that Good Morning towel, for goodness sake!

  3. couldnt agree more with you on the food. in terms of price wise, all of 'em are pricey. fried chicken wing for RM4? i can get RM2.50 fried chicken wing from a school canteen and it taste the same as what was sold here.
