Putrajaya, Malaysia – November 3, 2025 – Le Méridien Putrajaya is proud to present a unique cross-country culinary collaboration with Sheraton Grand Xiamen, China, bringing the rich heritage of Minnan cuisine to Malaysian diners. From November 3 to November 16, 2025, Le Mei Chinese Restaurant will host the “Minnan Cuisine Specialty Promotion”, featuring guest Chef Lou Qiqi, Chinese Kitchen Chef of FU GONG, Sheraton Grand Xiamen Jimei.
Chef Lou, a seasoned culinary expert with over 20 years of experience, is celebrated for his mastery in Fujian cuisine, fusion dishes, and innovative culinary techniques. Mentored by the esteemed Chinese Culinary Master Chen Yongchuan, Chef Lou has earned accolades including the Special Gold Award at the 23rd Xiamen City Workers’ Culinary Skills Competition. His philosophy — “cooking is not just a skill, but a way of life”— is reflected in every dish he creates.
Guests will be treated to a thoughtfully curated menu that showcases the depth and diversity of Minnan flavors. The journey begins with the “Quan Zhou” Double-boiled Beef Short Ribs Soup, a comforting broth infused with Chinese spices and slow-cooked to perfection. The Minnan Style Braised Duck with Ginger offers a bold and aromatic profile, while the Deep-fried Five Spices Mixed Chicken Roll delivers a satisfying crunch with layers of savory goodness.
For meat lovers, the Stir-fried Lamb with Ginger and Premium Soya Sauce presents a robust and earthy flavor, complemented by the Baked Sand Whiting Fish with Szechuan Pepper, which adds a touch of numbing spice to delicate seafood. The Steamed Squid with Pickled Yellow Chili and Chinese Seaweed brings a refreshing tang, while the Poached Clams in Chicken Broth offer a light yet flavorful interlude. Traditional favorites like the Wok-seared Baby Oyster Chinese Omelette and the “Minnan Style” Steamed Glutinous Rice with Roe Crab in Lotus Leaf showcase the region’s culinary heritage, culminating in the “Heng Hwa” Wok-fried Bee Hoon with Assorted Seafood, a beloved noodle dish that ties the experience together.
