With its famed flavours and imaginative presentations, Turkish cuisine is a distinguishing feature of the Turkish culture. To promote this distinctive cuisine around the world, the Republic of Turkey will host the Turkish Cuisine Week from 21st May to 27th May, at Lemon Garden, Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

Turkish food, moulded and fostered by Anatolian heritage, stands out for its nutritious qualities, creative aspect, and long-term sustainability. Recently, the MICHELIN Guide recognised Istanbul (one of the world’s main centres for gastronomic tourism) as the most credible restaurant rating compendium worldwide in a special selection.
