CNN world's best food destination ranking raises ire of Malaysian chef

CNN's
world best food destination list has drawn the ire of Malaysia celebrity chief
Redzuawan Ismail, better known locally as Chef Wan, who says that Malaysia
should have been giving top ranking instead of sixth.

He
said based on the variety and flavours of the local cuisine, Malaysia should
have topped the CNN's list, according to news portal Astro Awani.

"My
top five choices in terms of variety should be: number one Malaysia, followed by Italy,
Thailand, Japan and India," he told Astro Awani.

"I
see food as varieties and flavours that reflect the culture and food, and that
is why Malaysia
should be the first world's best food destination."
