Grand Finale Dinner
Malaysia is given a positive boost by the Malaysia International Gourmet Festival, a year-round platform for fine dining in Malaysia.
A spectacular dinner, a chance to bid in the Chefs' Charity Auction and the spectacle of the opening gambit. The MIGF Grand Finale Dinner was a fitting end to another Festival and a showcase for fine dining in Malaysia.
