HK Actress Anita Lee Shows Love For Malaysian-Style Curry During Recent Trip To Malaysia
Our local cuisine continues to warm the hearts and stomachs of international celebrities. Recently, during a flight to Malaysia, Hong Kong-Canadian actress Anita Lee Yuen Wah (李婉華) had one Malaysian dish that she couldn't help but praise. The actress recently revealed that she's currently visiting Malaysia for her annual 'durian tour'. According to reports, Anita has been organising 'durian tours' the past couple of years, where she brings a group of friends to Malaysia to enjoy durian during its peak season, usually from June to August. Yesterday (3rd June 2025, Thursday), Anita shared the meal she had on her Malaysia-bound flight, which appeared to be Malaysian chicken curry with white rice. Despite being a simple in-flight meal, the 57-year-old had quite the praise for the dish, saying, 'The meal on the way to Malaysia was so delicious, with Malaysian chicken curry. It's a little spicy, very authentic and delicious!' Anita also revealed that she cleared her curry, adding, 'It's a great start to my trip to Malaysia! Thumbs up!'. In the comments, local fans welcomed the actress to the country, wishing her an enjoyable trip. However, some netizens were shocked to learn that the actress enjoyed the spicy curry. While it may be surprising, this isn't the actress' first encounter with Malaysian food. In fact, Anita is a big fan of our local cuisine, especially curries. Besides frequently travelling to Malaysia for her 'durian tours', the radio host previously promoted the Malaysian spice brand MasFood. She also featured the brand's instant spice paste on her YouTube channel. Just last month, the actress shared a photo of her Malaysian curry, which she made with a MasFood instant curry paste. In her captions, Anita spoke fondly of the dish, writing, 'This Malaysian curry chicken is unbeatable and the sauce is really delicious.' She also shared a recommended method of cooking the dish before adding, 'It tastes like going to Malaysia to eat curry! Not too spicy, just right!' It looks like Anita really loves her Malaysian curry. While she hasn't shared what she has planned for her trip, we hope the actress has her fill of curry and durian while she's in town.
