Thermomix® Malaysia’s Ambassador Chef Sid Murshid Brings Malaysia's Culinary Stories to Life
Kuala Lumpur, 11 August 2026 – Every Malaysian has a dish that instantly transports them home. Across every state, culture and generation, Malaysian flavours have become more than just meals – they are memories, traditions and stories passed down through families, reflecting the rich diversity that makes Malaysia unique. In a country where food is often considered our universal language, each recipe carries a piece of our identity, connecting us to the people, places and moments that have shaped who we are.
In conjunction with Bulan Kemerdekaan, Thermomix® Malaysia’s Ambassador Chef Sid Murshid and Thermomix® Malaysia invited guests to rediscover the flavours that define Malaysia through the launch of the Malaysian Flavours Collection, a thoughtfully-curated recipe collection that draws from Sid's childhood memories in Muar, Johor. Hosted as an immersive culinary and interactive experience at the Thermomix® Experience Store in Bangsar, the event welcomed members of the media and content creators to experience Sid’s and Thermomix®’s Malaysian Flavours recipe collection firsthand.
Bringing these recipes to life was the Thermomix® TM7, the latest evolution of Thermomix's all-in-one smart cooking system. Live cooking demonstrations highlighted how technology can simplify even the most intricate Malaysian recipes – from preparing rempah from scratch to steaming, blending and slow-cooking with precision – making cooking more accessible without compromising on flavour, technique or authenticity. Guests also discovered how the guided cooking experience on Cookidoo® empowers home cooks of every skill level to create dishes with confidence, consistency and ease.
