March ENAK! was held at The Craft Complex on 2nd April, 2015 to take advantage of Hari Kraf Kebangsaan 2015, which was happening at the time. HKK is an annual craft festival that takes place every year to showcase the arts and crafts from the different regions of Malaysia. It is also a great opportunity to enjoy food from the different states of Malaysia. During the March ENAK, participants got to see food being prepped, to taste samples and to have lunch from the stalls featuring  the foods of Kedah, Terengganu, Sarawak, Perlis, Negeri Sembilan and many

more. Fish cooked with fermented durian and beef with bamboo stems were some of the exotic food that participants tried. Two of the dishes which were greatly enjoyed were nasi kunyit, glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk with turmeric with rendang, and otak otak, a grilled fish cake wrapped in a banana leaf. All in all, it was a fun day of good food and good shopping.
