Adam’s Malaysian heritage has helped shape and grow his love of good food and Malaysian influences can be seen in his cooking style.

Adam’s new book ‘Two Asian Kitchens’ will be onsale and Adam will be signing copies after his demonstrations. Two Asian Kitchens is a cook’s bible for Asian cuisine with a nod to tradition.

At the Malaysia Kitchen (Hall 1):
Wellington-based producer Rempah will be sampling a range of their authentic Malaysian sauces including laksa, rendang, sambal, peanut sauce and the classic Roti Chanai flat bread.

Laksa, synonymous with Malaysian cuisine, is a rich, delicious coconut-based creamy broth cooked with a myriad of aromatic herbs and spices.

Rendang is another ubiquitous Malay dish that uses herbs and spices such as ginger, galangal, turmeric root, lemongrass and chillies, with roasted coconut and coconut milk, and is simmered to a dry gravy to create a tender meat dish.

Representatives from Auckland’s Superfoods, Wilson and the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) will also be on hand to talk about where you can find authentic Malaysian products to recreate fantastic dishes at home and to point you to the best Malaysian restaurants here in New Zealand.
