I'm certain you lot accept heard already that Equatorial Kuala Lumpur volition live before long closing their doors.
The target engagement is 31 March, when they outset vehement the former hotel to brand agency for the new.
While rumours are adrift on whether the hotel returns or not, ane matter is certain nosotros volition live missing this stalwart when it is gone.
I accept fond memories for the whole hotel since I was a kid.
Long ago, the Golden Phoenix Restaurant was THE Chinese eating seat inwards Kuala Lumpur.
Every fourth dimension nosotros had an occasion to celebrate, it would live held there. So many fond memories for its dishes such equally the onion chicken (crispy peel chicken topped amongst aromatic onions), the apple tree fish (their sweetness together with sour fish amongst sliced apples instead), the sponge-like tofu amongst its holes together with the sharks fin soup. Their yee sang was also the best inwards town.
However things went pear shaped for them equally the former chef retired together with most of the loyal staff also left to bring together ane of the off shoots i.e. Pik Wah at MABA Building. Even though the hotel kept serving the former dishes, things were never the same.
I also loved Chalet equally a tyke together with it used to brand me express mirth whenever they served the sabayon since they set upwards such a functioning whisking the cream until ane of the waiters would trip the calorie-free fantastic toe roughly the trolley.
Etoile for us was where nosotros got our goodies together with birthday cakes. Then for Kampachi, it was for maximum Japanese pleasance peculiarly their buffets. When I was a tyke it would accept been the Lord's Day all you lot tin swallow ane simply demo I prefer the Sabbatum version where you lot pick together with social club what you lot like.
Hence nosotros decided to laissez passer the house a final hurrah earlier it closes.
Friends of mine accept been visiting it regularly to relish its final moments. Best you lot all outset jumping on the bandwagon too.
The pick is small-scale simply practiced plenty to satisfy our hungry tummies.
We social club loads of sashimi - salmon, yellowtail, butterfish together with tuna. Everything is super fresh together with delicious. They also create paw rolls.
There is also a pick of appetizers set out on a tabular array for us to direct together with of course, nosotros all larn plates of edamame to snack on. There are also makis (rolls) together with deep fried soft trounce crab.
I honey the teppanyaki steak, cooked to medium juicy perfection. There is also sukiyaki together with assorted tempura.
We honour that the mutual depression temperature soba noodles are wonderful together with bouncy that nosotros all social club bowls to slurp it down. The hot cooked ones don't stand upwards a direct a opportunity against the mutual depression temperature ones equally they appear nigh flaccid compared to the to a greater extent than elastic tasting strands.
To end, it was dark-green tea H2O ice cream together with something non on the menu, mini dorayaki or pancakes.
They are beautifully cooked together with await to a greater extent than similar blinis except nosotros slather on creamy peanut butter together with cherry-red edible bean glue to savour the Japanese sweets.
