Dosai from Rasa. Not cur­ry from Kayu Man­is or Istana Malay­isa. Sor­ry.

As well as car­ry­ing out all my usu­al duties as Empress of the Inter­net and Edi­tor of the Welling­ton­ista, I’ve also been doing reviews of local Malaysian restau­rants for Malaysia Kitchen — a glob­al ini­tia­tive that aims to edu­cate and inform con­sumers about Malaysian cui­sine and restau­rants. It’s a hard life, being forced to eat tasty cur­ry on some­one else’s dime, I tells ya.

So you wan­na be like me? Of course you do. Luck­i­ly, to cel­e­brate May-lasia (I apol­o­gise for the pun, I did­n’t make up that word!) you can get a free feed too.

Cur­ry Chal­lenges — crave the date (again, sor­ry!):

Can you han­dle the Malaysia Kitchen heat? Chal­lenge your cur­ry tol­er­ance lev­el dur­ing the month of May-laysia at your favourite Malaysian restau­rant – for free.

Be the first 100 at the restau­rant to taste and try a range of cur­ries, test your taste buds and see how much they can han­dle. Save the date to be at the fol­low­ing restau­rants for the Malaysia Kitchen Cur­ry Chal­lenge for free tast­ings of dif­fer­ent cur­ries and excit­ing prizes to be won:

  • Fri­day 13 May, 12 noon – 2pm, Kayu Man­is, 201 Cuba St, City Cen­tre, Welling­ton
  • Fri­day 27 May, 12 noon – 2pm, Istana Malaysia, 1–5 Allen St, City Cen­tre, Welling­ton
    *Cur­ries are taste sizes only, not full sized meals
