Since its 2022 debut, Camphor has carved out a well-deserved space for itself in LA’s dining scene. Its innovative use of modern French bistro cuisine as its backbone peppered with internationally influenced flavours secured it a coveted Michelin star. Camphor is no stranger to the pop-up space, having worked with venerated names from Coachella to Redtail in Resorts World Las Vegas. 

At the helm of Camphor’s culinary success is executive chef Max Boonthanakit, whose experience at acclaimed restaurants around the world including Blue by Alain Ducasse in Bangkok, has been instrumental in shaping the restaurant’s identity. Boonthanakit has established Camphor as one of LA’s most in-demand restaurants by reinventing French techniques through finding inspiration in global cuisines.

The restaurant’s global influences and refreshingly refined plates will make its way to Malaysia in a thoughtfully curated five course dinner menu. Diners can expect a five course dinner paired with wine of an amuse bouche of a tuna, olive, and mustard tart and a first course of kanpachi with uni, spicy cream, and green apple ice. The meal will continue with a scallop demi lune, a main course of chicken en garcie with cabbage and turnips, and a sweet course of strawberries and citrus milk before culminating in a caramelised bread and smoked chocolate finale.
