Mahila
6-Course Contemporary Malaysian Dinner Event
What is the world’s ultimate fusion cuisine? Some might say Malaysian. As a result of historical migrations, colonization by foreign powers, and its geographical position, Malaysia draws from an exceptionally wide range of culinary traditions, with Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Thai, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabian, and British influences. And Executive Chef/Owner Azalina Eusope, a fifth-generation street food vendor who moved to San Francisco a decade ago, is a truly expert practitioner of Malaysian culinary arts. In 2009, Bon Appetit named her one of the “10 Top Upcoming Chefs” and she has even catered for President Obama. The owner of the popular Azalina’s Malaysian in the Market Street food hall, Chef Eusope is excited and proud to have opened a restaurant of her own in Noe Valley, serving signature dishes like salted fish curry, sweet potato dumplings, and amazing fried chicken. SF Eater has already named Mahila to its list of “Best New Restaurants of 2019,” and The Infatuation calls it “fantastic.” We will be taking over the restaurant for this event, and Chef Eusope will be on hand to answer your questions and discuss her life’s journey.
