🇲🇾 KL Michelin Guide | Hide ✨

In December 2024, I took my mom to try this Southeast Asian-inspired fine dining spot in KL, and wow—what a flavor adventure! Initially drawn by the ambiance, we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed the food. Portions were so generous we skipped supper entirely! 🍽️💫 🥂 The Experience: Located on the ground floor of The Ritz-Carlton, hidden behind a painting! 🖼️ Minimalist, elegant decor with a Chef’s Table setup—watch the culinary team work their magic up close! 👨‍🍳🔥 🪴 The Menu: A genius fusion of Southeast Asian ingredients with French techniques. Every detail is meticulously crafted. 🌟 Standout Dishes: 🥔 Begedil & Smoked Bone Marrow – A Malay-style potato croquette with smoky marrow? Pure decadence. 🦀 Mud Crab with Belinjau – Perfectly balanced acidity, light yet flavorful. 🍚 Ulam Rice & Black Cod – Fragrant herb rice + crispy-skinned cod + pomegranate = texture heaven. 🦆 Aged Duck with Truffle Anchovy – Perfectly cooked, truffle-anchovy sauce = next-level umami. 🍊 Desserts: (Okay, real talk—the sweets were more about artistry than taste for me. The post-meal fruits outshone them!) Citrus Earl Grey – Pretty but forgettable. Crystal Mangosteen Hibiscus – Tangy mangosteen + popping candy? Not my vibe. 💳 Bonus: They accept Alipay! Final Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ I’d return just for that Ulam Rice & Black Cod. 🤤 Why Foodies Love It: 🌿 Elevated local flavors – Familiar ingredients, unexpected twists. 🎨 Sensory dining – Every plate is a masterpiece. 🍷 Wine pairings – Expertly curated. Pro Tips: Book the Chef’s Table for the full experience. Pace yourself—portions are substantial. Dress smart-casual—it’s a luxe vibe. #michelinkl #hidedining #klfinefood #southeastasiancuisine #gourmetmalaysia #tastetestkl #foodartistry #ritzcarltonkl
