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.
