              Klang 
              (Malaysia): An ethnic Indian chef and restaurateur has 
              been made Turkey's brand ambassador to Malaysia.
 John Anbarasu Suppiah, the director of Let's Travel N Cook, has 
              been selected by Turkish Airlines and Turkey's tourism board to 
              promote the country's culture and cuisine among Malaysians, the 
              Turkish embassy announced here Saturday.
 
 "He will also be promoting Malaysia to the Turkish people," an 
              embassy official was quoted as saying by The Star newspaper.
 
 "The number of Malaysians visiting Turkey is increasing, with 
              20,000 tourists last year alone," said the official.
 
 Suppiah, whose company is popular for promoting cross-border 
              cuisine and travel, said he would conduct cooking demonstrations 
              in Turkey.
 
 "Malaysian spices and those from Turkey are very different. I will 
              be creating recipes which combine both," he said.
