What better way to promote Malaysian food than by organizing a Malaysian food event in New York City's iconic Bryant Park? Big cities are perfect platforms to showcase Malaysian food to a multitude of people. The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) is a governmental body in charge of this promotional effort and I am pleased to know that the Malaysian government is taking effort to promote Malaysian food in the United States.
As I was going through my twitter feed, something caught my eye that read: "The Malaysian Winter Market at Bryant Park’s Fountain Terrace". As I proceeded to find out more about this Malaysian food event, I realized that the event will be held in New York City less than a week from today.

Malaysian Food Dictionary
Roti Jala (Roe-Tee Jah-Luh): This teatime favorite literally means 'Net Bread' due to its net-like appearance. The crêpe's batter is mixture of plain flour, eggs, butter, coconut milk and a dash of turmeric for color. It is then cooked on a hot greased griddle, folded or rolled and served with chicken curry on the side! Delicious!
