Event: K-Food Fair 2015, Kuala Lumpur

Korean food is no stranger to Malaysians. With an increasing demand & a greater market for the Korean culinary experience, the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation organized the K-Food Fair 2015 (endorsed by the Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs (MAFRA)) with the objective to provide local consumers & food/beverage companies an opportunity to experience Korean food & establish a bridgehead to experience some Korean culture as well.

The fair runs for 3 days from Friday, 14th August - Sunday, 16th August, at the Mid Valley Exhibition Hall 3. Visitors to this simple fair will get to try out some well-loved Korean food, culture, games & performances throughout the 3 days of fair. There will be guest performances by Korean B-Boy group, F-Flava, as well as Superstick, a Korean percussion band. Those who have been following Running Man can snap a photo with their beloved Haha & Kwang-su as well (unfortunately just the life-size posters...hehe), while those who fancy wearing a Hanbok, the traditional Korean costume, could do so at this fair.

This fair offers some irresistible treats that cater specifically to the Muslim community who are concerned with halal certifications of Korean food products in Malaysia as well. The K-Food Fair was designed to help Korean food & beverage businesses comply with the standards set by Korea Muslim Federation (KMF) & our local JAKIM for halal certification to further expand their businesses into the halal products market.

Each booth showcases a part of the Korean culture/season & the food or activities that are popular during that particular season.

The K-Food Fair will expand its presence to 7 other cities in the region after their debut this weekend in Kuala Lumpur. Those who are overseas or traveling overseas & would like to visit this fair can do so at the following cities:

• 28 - 30 August, Qingdao, China
• 11-13 September, Ho Chi Mihn City, Vietnam
• 18-20 September, Xian, China
• 16-18 October, Jakarta, Indonesia
• 6-8 November, Chongqing, China
• 27-29 November, Dubai, UAE

Visiting such a fair just brings back memories of my trip to Korea late last year. Ah...I'm looking forward to another trip there...perhaps it's time to look out for good travel deals from the MITM 2015 travel fair in the next exhibition hall as well since it's happening this weekend? Hahaha...

Can't wait for another holiday!
