Preview of Impiana Hotel Ipoh’s Oktoberfest 2011 Promotion

At the second Impiana Hotel Ipoh GM’s Corporate Cocktail Party last evening, guests were given a preview of the upcoming Oktoberfest 2011 Promotion at the hotel. The authentic German menu, to celebrate Oktoberfest, has been especially prepared by Celebrity Chef Volkmar Ertel.

Chef Volkmar, originally from Bavaria, Southern Germany, has worked in many leading international hotel chains around the world. He is bringing with him over thirty years of culinary experience. Chef Volkmar says he finds it a challenge to prepare a menu that is pork-and-alcohol-free but judging from IHI’s Oktoberfest menu, it has not been a problem for him! Check these out:
