Malaysia Food & Culture Fest 2025 in Phnom Penh: A Taste of Home Abroad.
Malaysia Food & Culture Fest 2025 in Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh came alive with colours, aromas, and sounds of Malaysia on 21–22 June 2025. The bustling Walk-Street of Cambodia’s capital was transformed into a vibrant Malaysian street festival, thanks to the much-anticipated Malaysia Food & Culture Fest 2025.
From the moment we arrived, it felt like a piece of Malaysia had been transplanted right into the heart of Cambodia. Booths were lined with fresh tropical fruits, signature Malaysian dishes, cultural handicrafts, and vibrant batik fabrics. It wasn’t just an event—it was a bridge between two cultures.
One highlight was the proud showcase of Malaysian agriculture. At the booth graced by Eja, En Silahuddin, and En Shukoor, visitors were treated to a spread of Malaysia’s finest produce. The presence of Puan Fatin, First Secretary for Agriculture at the Malaysian Embassy in Bangkok, and Tuan Shaiful, Agriculture Counsellor, added prestige and depth to the event, reinforcing the commitment of Malaysia to strengthen agricultural diplomacy and trade relations in the region.
The air was rich with the scent of satay being grilled, teh tarik being poured theatrically, and rendang simmering in large pots. Curious locals and tourists alike lined up to get their first taste of authentic Malaysian cuisine. Laughter, music, and the rhythms of kompang and gamelan filled the space as dancers in traditional attire swayed gracefully through the crowd.
But it wasn’t just about food. It was about connection. The dignitaries, including Cambodian officials and foreign envoys, walked side by side with vendors and attendees, sampling durian smoothies and discussing agricultural innovations. One could feel the genuine warmth in their interactions—proof that food is truly a universal language.

The children were especially taken by the adorable mascots of Visit Malaysia 2026, who danced and took selfies with eager little fans. It was a sight to behold—cultures blending, generations smiling, and everyone feeling a bit closer to one another.
As the sun set over Phnom Penh, the crowd grew even larger. Cultural performances took center stage—silat demonstrations, traditional Malay dance, and musical acts that brought goosebumps. It wasn’t just a festival—it was a reminder of how much we have to offer the world, and how beautifully our culture can be celebrated far from home.
