On Friday, my uncle, aunt, dad, bro and I dropped by the Malaysia International Gourmet Festival 2012 which was held in the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre.
Previous years back, my dad has been the one going to the festival, returning with lots of pasta / olive oils / chocolate LOL. This is my first time attending! :)
