For the first year ever, Tatler Dining joins forces with Malaysia Airports for a new era of its annual KULinary campaign
First held in 2016, KULinary is a food festival organised by Malaysia Airports, which awards top F&B outlets at both KL International Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
The highly anticipated event pushes dining establishments to constantly innovate when it comes to dish variety, quality, value, and service, allowing Malaysia Airports to showcase its exceptional food and beverage selection, from international brands like Jamie Oliver Pizzeria to homegrown local gem Kitchen by Open House.
After the outlets are evaluated, the winning restaurants and cafés are celebrated through a food festival, inviting key players in the dining industry to sample the award-winning dishes available at KL International Airport.
Previous KULinary winners include Bibik Heritage, Boost Juice Bars, Dôme Café, Grandmama’s, and Toast Box.
