Champion Chef Nathalie Arbefeulle holds her Golden Cauldron award high as her restaurant Cuisine Gourmet won Best All-Round Restaurant for 2014!
MIGF is now established as an international foodie festival!
"We are the champions"!
Dato Chef Wan joins in the festivities!
No one does it better this year than Nathalie Arbefeuille of Cuisine Gourmet by Nathalie at Menara Taipan, Jalan Puncak, KL!
ROYAL PATRON OF MIGF FOR THE PAST 14 YEARS YAM TUNKU LAKSAMANA TUNKU NAQUIYUDDIN TUANKU JAAFAR AND YAM TUNKU NURUL HAYATI
AS MIGF IS NOW 14 YEARS OLD, IT CAN SAFELY BE SAID IT IS ONE OF THE WORLD;S MOST FOCUSED, SUCCESSFUL AND PRESTIGIOUS GASTRONOMIC EVENTS IN THE WORLD.
EVEN MORE ASTONISHING, ITS ROYAL PATRON TUNKU LAKSAMANA TUNKU NAQUIYUDDIN TUANKU JAAFAR THE ELDEST SON OF THE 10TH KING OF MALAYSIA, HAS BEEN HOLDING THIS POST SINCE ITS INAUGURAL FESTIVAL 14 YEARS AGO.
BOTH THE ROYAL PATRON, HIS WIFE TUNKU NURUL NOOR HAYATI, DATO STEVE DAY AND DATIN STEVE DAY HAVE MORE OR LESS LOOKED THE SAME TODAY AS THEY DID 14 YEARS BACK.
THIS SIMPLY PROVES THE EFFICACIOUS EFFECTS OF GOOD FOOD ON MAINTAINING ONE'S HEALTH AND ROBUSTNESS! AS THEY SAY, FOOD MAKETH THE MAN!
MIGF SHOWCASES THE EXPERTISE OF MALAYSIA'S TOP CHEFS(THOUGH THEY NEED NOT BE MALAYSIANS) CREATING ASTOUNDING DISHES, DESSERTS AND DRINKS IN 35 CATEGORIES.
THIS YEAR'S WINNER OF THE COVETED GOLDEN CAULDRON AWARD FOR BEST ALL-ROUND RESTAURANT 2014 WENT T0 CUISINE GOURMET BY NATHALIE AT GROUND FLOOR, MENARA TAIPAN AT JALAN PUNCAK BEHIND SHANGRI-LA HOTEL.
I GUESS AUTOMATICALLY THIS MEANS THE CHEF OF 2014 WAS CHEF NATHALIE ARBEFEUILLE WHO RUNS CUISINE GOURMET BY NATHALIE WITH CHEF CLARA CHAMPONNOIS.
AS A FRENCH WOMAN COOKING INNOVATIVE AND DELICIOUS FRENCH CUISINE, NATHALIE ARBEFEUILLE DESERVES TO WIN BUT I THINK THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER GOLDEN CAULDRON AWARD FOR BEST ALL-ROUND RESTAURANT HELMED BY MALAYSIAN CHEF. OTHERWISE IT IS LIKE COMPARING A ROSE WITH AN ORCHID---IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHICH IS BETTER!
LAST YEAR'S WINNER WAS THE RESTAURANT (YES THIS IS THE NAME!) AT SAUJANA RESORT WHICH ALSO HAD A MAT SALLEH CHEF ALEXANDER WASCHI WHICH OF COURSE NO ONE BEGRUDGES AS HIS FOOD WAS DAZZLINGLY DELICIOUS.
GOURMET CUISINE BY NATHALIE WAS ALSO ONE OF 7 FINALISTS AND IT WON THIS YEAR! CONGRATULATIONS!
CUISINE GOURMET BY NATHALIE AVERAGES RM 400++ WITH WINE PER PERSON AND BETTER PRICED THAN WHAT YOU WOULD PAY IN EUROPE AS 100 EUROS DO NOT GO FAR!
