Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia｜Beta KL

Went with my husband to celebrate his birthday. They were very thoughtful to have gifted him a card with a printed photo of our dinner there :) They had a brief introduction of the local ingredients used for the meal. We opted for the Taste of Malaysia menu. It really is a good introduction to Malaysian food as it inculcated and rightly reflected the flavours and taste of Malaysia’s wonderful food - appetizing and robust! Explanation was given on the thought process and history behind each curated dish together with the sentimental values behind them - such as the chef’s own grandmothers creation which he then perfected. Chris and Muhammad served us well. Muhammad had a constant smile all night long while Chris had great patience in explaining the dishes and attending to our needs. We told Chris that we enjoyed the bread and we were given some bread to take back home. My favourite was the dessert! Would love to come back when they change their menu! :)

This is really quite and lovely restaurant. I like the way chefs treat each dish with their design and thoughts, and how they really want to share with each guest. Recommend to everyone who wants to try something Malaysian but not that traditional.

Unusual cuisine deconstructed from common local food and elevated to a fine dining adventure with choice ingredients and creative cooking techniques. The courses were consistently good although the pairing cocktails could be better with wine. Friendly, responsive, and efficient service. The relaxing dining room with a full view of the busy kitchen was a pleasing bonus. An off-the-beaten-track dining experience - differentiated from an earlier reviewed two-star Michelin restaurant in a similar pescatarian genre - but an enjoyable one. A one-star Michelin restaurant.
