Venezuelan Week is in Malaysia (3rd time)!
Organised by the Venezuelan Embassy, it encompasses culture, dance, rituals & FOOD!
Ah! - if you want to try authentic Venezuelan cuisine, check out the Eastin Hotel where Chef Edgar Leal (celebrity chef from Cacao Restaurant, South Florida) & wife Mariana (pastries chef) will whip up sumptuous dishes during the promotion week.
They were on the Breakfast Show @NTV 7 (Malaysian local terrestrial channel) to share a popular appetiser (sold around the beaches) aptly called:
Back to Life - Vuelve LaVida (hope I got the spelling right)!
