Eat & Cook – Modern Malaysian

Reasons to visit Eat and Cook: Every step of this hero’s journey is a breathtaking display of chef mastery. All 17 dishes are worthy of heaped praise. The dishes we caught ourselves thinking of many days later included the Jagung Cake with Chilli and Dry Oyster, the Clam Brûlée, the Cucur Udang Bunga with Peanut Butter, the Soup Tulang with Short Rib and Spices, the Tuak Baba, and the Seasonal Fruit Ice-Cream Waffles. Every wine on Eat and Cook’s list is one you should seek out and taste.

Kikubari – Progressive Japanese

Reasons to visit Kikubari: What a feast! What a flavourful adventure! The team have clearly committed itself to excellence, and it shows across the board. This is an ideal place to visit if you want something special with someone, as the team is all on your side to leave a fine and lasting impression. Matt was especially impressed by the sakè and the Amadai fish with its perfectly salty scales. Monica thoroughly enjoyed the red wines and lamb. A sumptuous and special eating experience to be had at Kikubari.
