COVER 2nd Peruvian Gastronomic Festival Opening Night

Happening on the 6th to 8th of September 2024, the Embassy of Peru in partnership with Peruvian restaurant Feliz KL of the esteemed Cinnamon Group is hosting the second Peruvian Gastronomic Festival. We had the pleasure of attending the opening night atop Avenue K with a gorgeous view of KL’s most iconic skyscrapers.

The event was officiated by the Ambassador of Peru, His Excellency Ricardo Estanislao Morote Canales and guests were served with a variety of tapas-sized portions of signature Peruvian dishes such as ceviche, causa, anticuchos, empanadas, and of course the most famous of Peruvian cocktails, the Pisco sour.
