Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore invites diners on a cross-country culinary journey with Flavours of Malaysia, a vibrant buffet showcase at Food Capital running from 1 June to 12 July 2026.
Presented in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia, Sarawak Trade and Tourism Office and Sabah Trade and Tourism Office in Singapore, supported by the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore, Flavours of Malaysia brings together the flavours, traditions, and stories of five distinct regions through guest chefs representing Johor, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, and Sarawak.
Timed alongside the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, the experience celebrates the depth and diversity of Malaysian cuisine through a more regional and nuanced lens — going beyond familiar favourites to spotlight lesser-seen specialities rarely experienced outside Malaysia.
Set against the hotel’s signature riverfront backdrop, the showcase reflects Grand Copthorne Waterfront’s continued focus on culture-led dining — reframing the buffet as a platform for storytelling.
“At Grand Copthorne Waterfront, Food Capital is more than a buffet destination. It is a platform where we celebrate cultures, bring people together, and tell meaningful stories through food. Our themed cultural buffets are designed to go beyond dining, offering guests an authentic connection to heritage, tradition, and the people behind each cuisine. With Flavours of Malaysia, we bring together chefs who represent the soul of their home states, inviting diners to experience Malaysia beyond the familiar, through dishes that are deeply personal, authentic, and rooted in tradition,” shares Andrew Tan, General Manager of Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore.
A Culinary Showcase Rooted in Authenticity
Unlike conventional Malaysian-themed buffets, Flavours of Malaysia is shaped by the voices and expertise of its chefs, each presenting regional specialities influenced by family recipes, festive traditions, and personal culinary journeys.
From Johor’s royal-influenced Malay heritage and Penang’s bold street food culture, to Kuala Lumpur’s refined urban classics and the indigenous coastal flavours of Sabah and Sarawak, the buffet offers a layered and authentic view of Malaysian cuisine across Peninsular and East Malaysia.
Led by Johor-born Executive Sous Chef Peter Pang, alongside four visiting chefs from across Malaysia, the line-up includes:
- Chef Andri bin Abdul Hadi (Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur)
- Chef Linn Yong (Limau & Linen, Sabah)
- Chef Azhar bin Bah (Smart Hormony Catering, Penang)
- Chef Lesly Anak A’ik (Riverside Majestic Hotel Astana Wing, Sarawak)
Together, they present a collective 10-hands experience, describing a collaborative showcase by five chefs cooking side by side, balancing authenticity with thoughtful adaptation for a Singapore dining audience.
The chefs were selected in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia, Sarawak Trade and Tourism, and Sabah Trade and Tourism Office in Singapore to ensure the experience remains grounded in authenticity while adapted for an international audience
and festive memories that we are proud to present beyond our home states,” shares Executive Sous Chef Peter Pang.
Flavours of Malaysia: Buffet Highlights
The showcase offers a culinary tour celebrating Malaysia’s multicultural tapestry, bringing together Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences alongside indigenous Bornean traditions. Each chef presents signature dishes reflecting their region, from iconic classics to deeper culinary discoveries.
The buffet is halal-certified, ensuring accessibility for all diners. Selected live cooking stations enhance the experience with freshly prepared dishes made to order.
“We are delighted to partner with Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore to showcase the true breadth of Malaysian cuisine to diners in Singapore. This valuable and meaningful collaboration is precisely the kind of collaboration we hope to foster, especially in presenting the Malaysian culinary heritage with authenticity and pride, beyond our borders and throughout the world,” shares His Excellency Dato Indera Dr. Azfar Mohamad Mustafar, Malaysian High Commissioner to Singapore.
