Our Experience at the My Food 2025 Pre-launch Event!

Sebrinah Yeo March 11, 2025 0

On 22 April 2025, we had the chance to attend the pre-launch of My Food 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. This event, organized by Montgomery Asia, is more than just a trade show—it marks the beginning of a movement to promote local food suppliers and strengthen Malaysia’s food security.

The event was officiated by YBhg. Datuk Seri Isham bin Ishak, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS), and it was inspiring to see the industry’s leaders come together to discuss how Malaysia’s food supply chains can evolve to become more sustainable and self-sufficient.

What really caught our attention was the focus on sustainability and local sourcing. The demand for fresh, nutritious, and locally sourced ingredients is growing, and My Food 2025 is here to support that shift. The event provided an excellent platform for suppliers and industry players to connect and collaborate on how to build a stronger food ecosystem in Malaysia.

We also loved how sustainability was a major theme throughout the event, from reducing carbon footprints to educating buyers about the benefits of sourcing locally. It's clear that this initiative is set to drive meaningful change in Malaysia’s food industry, creating opportunities for local businesses and strengthening Malaysia’s position in global food security efforts.

The full My Food Show will take place from 24 to 26 April 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, and we can’t wait to see even more of these important conversations unfold. It’s not just a trade show—it’s a movement for a better, more sustainable food future in Malaysia.

On the menu today, I indulged in the finest cuisine here by Chef Helmut Lamberger and his entourage of chefs that prepared our meals today. I love how they actually named each dish that represents something unique about it, it makes it easier to remember what to order actually.

Today's meal we enjoyed a yummy appetizer, The Forest, Carpaccio of Portebello Mushrooms; created by Chef Helmut in 1991 that contributed to his team's success in winning the most coveted award in Australian gastronomy, the "Chef of the Year, Austria" award by Gault Millau. This dish has since been reinvented with new condiments and ingredients for an added twist to bring out new flavours and it was my favourite of all! The burrata cheese was with a more chewy texture that blends well with the horseradish whipped, rocket lettuce and the Portebello mushroom that was really potent in its flavour, yet, not too overwhelming! It's a perfect match made in heaven for sure!

FOREST | Carpaccio of Portebello Mushrooms (RM54)

For Soup starter we had Earth, cream of Kohlrabi which was very fragrant and tasty! I love how it tastes smooth and delicious at every sip.

EARTH | Cream of Kohlrabi (RM44)
With butter sealed scallops, baby greens and coral tuille

For our main meal, we had Regional, a pan-fried fillet of Malaysian Barramundi. It was really fresh and yummy with the blend of the sauce that made it even more unique. It is said that, in Cedar On 15, you will be able to taste a fresh fish and for those who are an expert in fresh food, they will also be able to taste how or when was this fish caught! That's how unique and special the Chefs here at Cedar On 15 are able to present their uniqueness and specialty to their customers. This is also a new culinary creations incorporate locally-grown herbs and mushrooms with ingredients previously unavailable in Malaysia such as the sorrel herb and kohlrabi, which is actually a tasty and crisp vegetable known as the German turnip.

REGIONAL | Pan-fried Fillet of Malaysian Barramundi (RM64)
Churned with almond butter, artichokes, potato, asparagus tips, olives, herbs, lemon fillets

We then enjoyed a beautiful Passion palate of a medley of white chocolate and raspberry mousse with raspberry macaroon. It was a beautiful sight to see even to indulge in its beauty.

PASSION | A Medley of White Chocolate & Raspberry (RM44)

I always enjoy a hearty meal especially one filled with elegance, sophistication and beauty. And Cedar On 15, truly does not disappoint me. I love how they serve their house buns that may seems tough on the outside side but it's soft, tasty and chewy on the inside.

The best beverage to go with your meals, is definitely a good bottle of wine!

As you enjoy your food and wine, you will be entertained with soft serenade music from Cedar On 15, with the violinist who plays sweet, soft and gentle music that is like honey to your ears!
