Opening Ceremony for Malta Gourmet Festival Held at Minzu Hotel

A romantic Malta Gourmet Festival, jointly organized by Beijing Minzu Hotel, Maltese Embassy in China, the Malta-China Friendship Association and Beijing People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, is to be staged on Mar. 20-31, 2019.

Delegates from Maltese Embassy in China and Xia Minhui, General Manager of Minzu Hotel, will attend the Opening Ceremony and deliver speeches. Through the Gourmet Festival, guests are expected to know about Malta and its glamour. Both parties will express their wishes for the success of the Gourmet Festival.

Amongst the rippling blue waves of the Mediterranean lies the Malta Island. With its long-standing history, remains of old temples, the legendary Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the beautiful scenery as a masterpiece of Nature, Malta in the bright sunshine, a paradise on the Earth, has been the setting for numerous movies, from the blue seawater and yellow battlements in Troy to the amazingly magnificent cathedral in The Da Vinci Code or the precipice seemingly connecting the heaven and earth in A Song of Ice and Fire. During the Gourmet Festival, the Mill Cafe at Minzu Hotel will be bathed in a European-style retrospective atmosphere.

During this period, a team of top chefs from Malta will be invited to bring you irresistible temptation on the tip of your tongue. Maltese cuisine is well-known for its diversity. While ingeniously blending French, Italian and Arabian cuisines and cooking methods, the Maltese have also preserved their traditional native characteristics. Traditional Maltese delicacies change with the season. During the Gourmet Festival, such delicacies as fish soup, stewed rabbit, Bragjoli (beef olives) and Kapunata (vegetable stew) will be presented to you one after another.

Come and enjoy our Theme Nights on Mar. 22, treat yourself with Maltese delicacies and learn about the glamour of the Maltese history as well as the beauty of movies with a Maltese setting. We look forward to meeting you all the more on Mar. 23, when a parent-child party will be held for you to experience the “Dream of the Knights” of the country.

Malta, a Shangri-la on the Mediterranean---its local customs and practices, its romance and extravagance as well as its delicacies are all awaiting your exploration.
