"FASCINATING MALAYSIA" FEATURES FOOD AND DANCE 
 
Highlighting the "Visit Malaysia in '94" campaign, Manhattan's
Nusantara Restaurant (219 East 44th Street) featured a traditional
five-course Malaysian buffet and accompanying dances by the National
Cultural Dance Troup of Malaysia, who regularly perform for their king.
More than 20 dishes were offered, including soups, appetizers, hot  and
cold specialties such as Chicken and Beef Satay, Prawn Sambal and Beef
Rendang, salads, and a rainbow of desserts. The authentic dishes were
prepared by chefs Suzaini Salih and Mustapha Tamby Chik of the Putra
World Trade center in Kuala Lumpur, who are touring the U.S. with the
dance troup to present the multi-cultural food, dances and songs of
Malaysia's ethnically varied 13 states. +++++
