Each August, the spirit of patriotism is not only seen in the Jalur Gemilang fluttering proudly or heard in the familiar strains of patriotic songs, but it is also savoured through uniquely Malaysian flavours making their way onto special menus across the country.

Local food and beverage (F&B) brands are embracing the season by reimagining classic tastes with a modern twist, introducing limited-edition desserts, drinks and main courses inspired by Malaysia’s culinary heritage.
