Promote Local Dishes Aggressively, Urges Raja Muda Of Perlis


MELAKA, Nov 5 (Bernama) -- Perlis should promote popular local dishes more aggressively to boost the state's tourism industry, said Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Putra Faizuddin Jamalullail.

He said dishes like mi rebus Arau, laksa Kuala Perlis, gulai rebung Utan Aji, ikan pekasam masak lemak Jejawi and pulut sibak could fascinate visitors.

"Perlis should have its own identity in promoting tourism products by providing the best package for each product, including appropriate facilities and accommodation," he said when launching the Perlis cuisine and cultural promotion at Seri Malaysia Hotel here Monday.

The one-week promotion organised by Tourism Malaysia Perlis in collaboration with Perlis and Melaka Seri Malaysia hotels was aimed at promoting Perlis culinary and cultural elements to tourists from Melaka and abroad, especially from Singapore.

Urging Perlis tourism industry players to learn from Melaka's success in attracting tourists, Tuanku Syed Putra Faizuddin said both parties could create strategic alliance.

Tourism Malaysia Kedah/Perlis director Roslan Othman said revellers could sample between 80 and 90 dishes, appetizers, main meals and desserts during the promotion at RM35 for lunch and RM38 for dinner.
Present were Raja Puan Muda of Perlis Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil.
