Sushi and sake aren't the only match made in heaven. Wine too pairs beautifully with Japanese fare, as evidenced by Sushi Hibiki and Asia Wine Cellar's repeat collaborations. Well into its 8th edition, Echo In The Night is a series of intimate dinners whereby Chef Sam Saito puts together one-of-a-kind omakase experiences.

3. Taste James Won's Modernist Twist On The Pepper At Enfin

One of Maison Krug's most successful activation ideas is its 'single ingredient' project. Each year, chef ambassadors from around the world — including Malaysia's own James Won — invent new recipes revolving around a chosen ingredient. Needless to say, their dishes are designed to be paired with Krug Cuvée. The 2019 Krug X Single Ingredient dinner at Enfin shines the spot light on the small but mighty pepper. Krug cellar master Eric Lebel will be present to present an overview of Krug Champagne.

When

Tuesday, June 18, 2019 @ 7pm

Where

Enfin by James Won, Menara Hap Seng, Level 2, Jalan P Ramlee, Kuala Lumpur

Enjoy the fruits of your labour at the end of the class and bring your own tupperware to take home leftovers — if there are any.

Housed in a bungalow on Jalan Ceylon, Bottega Mediterranea is patronised by Italian expatriates seeking a slice of la dolce vita. Everyone should experience this monthly 'mingle' at least once — you'll be hard-pressed to find another party with finger food that's half as good. How it works: pay a fixed fee at the door, find your (reserved) table, and feast on glorious cold cuts, hot pasta dishes, creamy risottos, and more. The fun fête begins in the afternoon and continues well into the evening, with drinks and DJ sets to inspire dancing.

Bottega Mediterranea, 1a, Jalan Ceylon, Bukit Ceylon, Kuala Lumpur *A stone's throw from Changkat Bukit Bintang
