There, Malaysians can enjoy special recipes and menus made especially for connoisseurs and Italian culture aficionados for one week. And, if you’re still craving for authentic Italian cuisine even after this week, be sure to look out for the “Settimana della cucina Italiana nel Mondo 2022” sticker logo, as it means the restaurant has been approved by the Italian Embassy and Italian Trade Agency in Kuala Lumpur.
But that’s not all! Malaysians can also learn more about the identity and history of Italian cuisine, courtesy of the University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) of Pollenzo. The prestigious, world-class university located in northern Italy will be working to curate an online course of 20 video lessons where you can upskill your Italian cuisine knowledge and cooking skills.
