Event organizers are looking to create an atmosphere "reminiscent of the open-air markets of Kuala Lumpur and Penang," by setting up vibrant decor - bright, colorful tents, umbrellas and lanterns.

The hope is to showcase the variety of available Malayasia noodle dishes - from Laksa soups to stir fries.

The event is open to the public from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and all food will be on sale for $4 to $8.
