Chef Yann, inspired by the bounty of Malaysia, has crafted a menu that showcases the diverse culinary landscape of the country. International guests will have the opportunity to discover the unique tastes of Malaysia, while locals can rediscover their favorite flavors in exciting new forms.

Among the standout creations is Chef Yann’s Chocolate Couture, a decadent masterpiece featuring a cacao cake, buckwheat praline, and chocolate mousse. This exquisite dessert is further elevated with the addition of Buah Keluak, a prized ingredient in Peranakan cuisine often referred to as the “truffle of the east.” Buah Keluak imparts an earthy, smoky sophistication to each morsel, adding a unique depth of flavor to the chocolate creation.

The savory selection is equally impressive, featuring delights like the Coronation Chicken, enhanced with smoked curry aioli, mango powder, and dried floss. The Keto Egg Salad with avruga caviar, sparked by Sarawak black pepper and garlic chives, offers a bold and flavorful experience. For a truly indulgent treat, relish the Pulled Beef Brisket, a sumptuous combination of Comté cheese, pickled jalapeño, and watercress.
