As international travel restrictions continue, Gourmet South Australia is bringing some of South Australia’s premium gourmet products to Malaysia. The Gourmet South Australia food fair is the first of its kind in Malaysia, organised by the South Australian Government and supported by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission and the Australian High Commission in Malaysia.
The fair provides the opportunities for Malaysians to experience unique, quintessential South Australian products without having to jump on a plane, as forms part of the South Australian Government’s ‘New to Market Retail Program’, aimed at providing a pathway for new South Australian food and beverage products to enter the Malaysian market.
“I’m excited to officially launch Gourmet South Australia in Malaysia. I’m pleased that more of our Malaysian friends can sample the gourmet foods produced by South Australia. Gourmet South Australia is a great step forward in our support for Australian brands trying to expand into the ASEAN market,” said the Australian High Commissioner To Malaysia, HE Dr Justin Lee.
Taking place from now to 5 October at Isetan KLCC and Isetan Lot 10, the Fair will also run at AEON One Utama, AEON Bukit Tinggi and AEON Queensbay Mall until 6 October. Gourmet South Australia aims to fulfil the needs of the discerning customer seeking quality premium and gourmet products produced in a clean, green and sustainable environment and prides itself on featuring a range of brands that will only be available for a limited time. Many of the South Australian brands participating in the fair are family-founded businesses that pride themselves on producing quality products.
Offering a unique chance to escape from the grind of day-to-day life, Gourmet South Australia will take your taste buds on a journey of culinary discovery without the need to travel. With 14 brands ready to showcase their fare in local supermarkets, consumers will have the opportunity to expand their palate with a fabulous array of food and beverages, from raw honey and extra virgin almond oil to organic vegetables and sustainably caught tuna.
Our local Celebrity Chef, Datuk Dr Chef Wan also delighted that Gourmet South Australia is bringing in all this wonderful produce to Malaysia, and giving an opportunity to our fellow Malaysians to try them. “I personally bring back so many products when I travel there, and I realise that every year there are more and more brands entering the market with quality produce,” he added.
This will be the first time that these participating brands have arrived in Malaysia, making Gourmet South Australia an exclusive and limited-time insight into the essence of South Australia. Transport yourself to the beautiful rolling Adelaide Hills with the taste of fresh-pressed fruit and vegetable juice, and stop by a quaint ice-cream shop to treat your tastebuds to creamy, pure, gelato. Continue to explore South Australia with many other brands set to charm your hearts and your palate.
Visitors will be able to experience a multitude of South Australian brands, which have previously not been available in Malaysia. Fresh-pressed fruit and vegetable juice under the label Besa Juice, preserved 100% Australian fruit from Peel & Tonic, handmade pasta sauces from Lucia’s Fine Foods, divine raw honey from Buzz Honey, and Dinko Tuna’s sustainably farmed tuna, are some of the delectable fare which awaits consumers at Isetan outlets.
“Gourmet South Australia is a fantastic initiative to promote our food products, they are high quality and very, very nutritious food products. We’re extremely proud to launch Gourmet South Australia in Malaysia,” said Paul Sanda, Senior Trade And Investment Commissioner For Austrade Malaysia And Brunei.
Over at AEON, expect to see new brands such as hand-made dairy-free ice cream from Gelista, Healthy Garden’s quality range of oats, premium tomatoes and mini cucumbers by P’Petual, leafy greens with robust flavour from Rainbow Fresh, prime Australian manuka and natural honey from Novafarms, and farm-fresh almond products from Casarosa Almonds.
