In celebration of the strong and longstanding diplomatic relations between Malaysia and Thailand, the Embassy of Malaysia in Bangkok hosted a special culinary demonstration, “A Taste of Malaysia at Mrs. Balbir’s Cooking School”, on 19 May 2026. H.E. Wan Zaidi Wan Abdullah and Madam Datin Zuhaila Abd Latif demonstrated three iconic Malaysian dishes representing the nation’s rich cultural heritage, namely Roti Jala (Fishnet Pancake), Kari Ayam (Chicken Curry) and Penang Asam Laksa.
The class was attended by approximately 45 guests, comprising students, Thai stakeholders, Ambassadors, members of the diplomatic corps, and representatives of the media. H.E. Wan Zaidi Wan Abdullah also presented Certificates of Participation to all students who took part in the workshop.
The event was lively, interactive, and warmly received, as the Ambassador and Madam Datin Zuhaila shared not only the art of Malaysian cooking, but also the warmth, hospitality, and multicultural spirit that define Malaysia.
As the saying goes, “Food is the language of friendship that brings people together beyond borders.” Through the sharing of Malaysia’s rich culinary traditions, the event served as a meaningful platform to further strengthen people-to-people ties and promote greater appreciation of Malaysian culture in Thailand.
