Amber Chia 和拿督 Aaron Aziz 分享爱上榴槤原因

2023年的第三届马来西亚国际榴槤与文化节在武吉加里尔盛大开幕。Dato' Dr. Ammar Abd. Ghapar）、宣传大使名 DJ 陈峰、国际名模 Amber Chia 谢丽萍和马来艺人拿督 Aaron Aziz等名人齐聚Pavilion Bukit Jalil，为这个全马最大型的榴槤自助餐盛会举行了开幕典礼。

这个由DKING帝一榴和LKE集团联合举办的榴槤自助餐将持续三天，从今天开始一直到9月10日，地点在Pavilion Bukit Jalil的露天广场。这个盛会的目标是向本地居民和游客推广马来西亚的榴槤，同时希望未来能成为一年一度的榴槤日或榴槤盛会。

在开幕典礼后，宣传大使Amber Chia和马来艺人拿督Aaron Aziz接受了媒体的采访，他们都表示以前不敢尝试榴槤。

Amber Chia说，"在我认识了DKING帝一榴的老板茹保顺之后，我才明白以前我没有品尝过高品质的榴槤，所以我不喜欢榴槤。" 原来，在茹保顺的不断劝说下，她尝试了DKING的榴槤后，才领悟到榴槤原来有如此深层的风味。

拿督Aaron Aziz也表示，虽然他不排斥榴槤的味道，但以前并不喜欢吃榴槤。但在品尝了DKING的其他榴槤产品，如煎蕊、雪糕和饼干后，他才开始发现榴槤原来是如此美味的水果。

名DJ陈峰则透露自己从小就热爱榴槤，所以无论是哪种品种，都会迫不及待地品尝！

DKING帝一榴的老板茹保顺也在现场呼吁榴槤爱好者尽快购买门票，这次的榴槤自助餐每人只需68令吉，就可以品尝到四种优质的榴槤品种，包括D24、D101、红虾和Butter King牛油皇。此外，猫山王也以特价45令吉（约300克）一盒单独出售。

参加者不仅可以在现场尽情享用榴槤，还可以获得价值600令吉的礼包，并有机会在抽奖环节中赢得丰厚的大奖。

另外，周日还将举办多项有趣的活动，包括榴槤趣味竞跑和由MoveKids举办的儿童时装秀，让父母和孩子在品尝榴槤的同时，也可以度过更多亲子时光。

策略伙伴Melife还将在周日举行慈善筹款活动，以打破马来西亚的纪录。大会也欢迎所有媒体参加晚上7点的榴槤自助餐，同时在晚上8点的闭幕典礼上与尊贵的皇室成员拿督东姑希山慕丁再芝阁下 （Y.M Tengku Dato Dr Hishammuddin Zaizi bin Y.A.M. Tengku Bendahara Azman Shah Alhaj）一起见证马来西亚纪录大全颁奖典礼。
