As the mythical dragon emerges from its 12-year slumber, Element Kuala Lumpur welcomes the Year of the Dragon with a dazzling culinary presentation. High above the vibrant city, the hotel’s renowned restaurants and bars are preparing a feast for the senses.
A Sparkling Start with a Twist
Executive Chinese Chef Linus Mak introduces a delightful twist on the traditional Yee Sang. Forget the plum sauce – Chef Mak has crafted a unique pineapple dressing, creating a symphony of sweet and tangy flavors. This vibrant platter, overflowing with shredded fresh fruits and vegetables, awaits your choice of toppings, be it Raw Salmon Slices, Crispy Fish Skins, or even Whole Abalones.
Private Reunions, Exquisite Flavors
Whether you’re gathering with family or colleagues, Element Kuala Lumpur offers two meticulously crafted set menus for private reunions. Both menus, curated by Chef Mak with over 20 years of experience, begin with the auspicious Yee Sang presentation. Savor the warmth of Double-Boiled Chicken Soup, followed by a parade of mouthwatering chicken, fish, and sea prawn dishes. Don’t miss the specially braised “Money Bags,” symbolic of prosperity, for a delicious bite of good fortune. Finish your culinary journey with fragrant Cantonese-style fried rice and a delightful duo of desserts: Chilled Sugar Cane Juice with Aloe Vera, Snow Fungus, and Sea Bird’s Nest, and Fried House-Made “Nian Gao” (Glutinous Rice Cake).
