Yen
While Yen’s luxe, avant-garde environment certainly sets an elevated tone for one’s expectations, those will no doubt be met when ordering its signature dishes— namely, the Golden Duck
Nestled in W Kuala Lumpur, Yen punctuates the hotel with nostalgia, honouring both tradition and contemporary sophistication.The dining experience at Yen is one defined by reimaginings of Cantonese dishes. Diners can expect a luxurious reinterpretation of Peking duck seeing exceptionally golden skin peppered with caviar and crispy bean curd skin. Meals here aren’t complete without additions of Yen’s steamed Canadian lobster with silken egg custard, fragranced with Shaoxing wine or the restaurant’s signature fish xiao long bao filled with delicate tiger grouper meat and seafood broth
IN THE KNOW
Yen’s interior paints a picture of Chinese heritage through intricate woodwork, ambient lighting and sleek lines in a convergence of reflective nostalgia and cosmopolitan sophistication.
TATLER TIP
Yen offers a bespoke cocktail experience to complement meals here. Order the Inferno, which sees vermouth, vodka, pickled tomato and olive brine come together in a play on the classic dirty martini or opt for the Fifth Taste, an umami blend of nori tequila, mezcal, shiitake honey, soy sauce and yuzu.
