Dusit Thani Davao Hotels officially launched Malaysian Nights at Madayaw Café, a sophisticated culinary showcase honoring Malaysian culture, cuisine, and the spirit of Ramadan. The opening evening welcomed media partners, local government representatives, VIP guests, and dignitaries from the Consulate General of Malaysia in Davao, creating a vibrant celebration of hospitality, cultural appreciation, and shared culinary experiences.
The café was transformed with Malaysian-inspired décor, featuring traditional tapestry accents that created a warm yet refined ambiance. Guests were greeted with captivating traditional dances and cultural music, immersing attendees in the authentic sights and sounds of Malaysia.
At the heart of the event was an extensive Malaysian feast prepared by a visiting Malaysian chef. Live cooking stations allowed diners to select fresh seafood, fish, shellfish, and specialty viands, prepared à la minute. The spread highlighted both heritage recipes and contemporary refinement, offering a comprehensive taste of Malaysia’s rich gastronomic identity.
The formal program included welcome remarks from Vanessa Sustengco, General Manager of Dusit Thani Davao Hotels, followed by an address from Deddy Faisal Ahmad Salleh, Consul General of Malaysia. Media members captured interviews and coverage throughout the evening. In keeping with tradition, guests also paused for the Maghrib prayer, reflecting respect for Muslim customs alongside the cultural celebration.
Designed for iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, Malaysian Nights provides a welcoming space for guests to gather, fellowship, and savor the authentic flavors of Malaysia in a refined, elegant setting. This initiative underscores Dusit Thani Davao’s commitment to thoughtful hospitality and cultural appreciation through seasonal, meaningful dining experiences.
Malaysian Nights runs until March 3, offering a limited-time opportunity to experience Malaysia’s culinary richness at Madayaw Café. Guests are encouraged to reserve early to enjoy this distinctive Ramadan dining experience, where culinary excellence, cultural immersion, and warm hospitality come together in one memorable celebration.
