The stylish Yen at W Kuala Lumpur serves Cantonese fare you know and love, leaving you craving to be back, pens Tien Chew.
DINING AT Yen, W Kuala Lumpur, is to remove what you currently know about how a Chinese restaurant should look like and be reintroduced as to what a Chinese restaurant could look like. The neo-retro artsy vibes you will undoubtedly get from the restaurant hits you the moment you walk in. The patterned ceiling decoration takes inspiration from neon Chinese signs seen commonplace in bustling cities the likes of Hong Kong and Shanghai, bathing the restaurant in a warm orange glow. Despite the sleek black furnishings, stylish tableware and modern designer decorations that radiate a futuristic vibe, the restaurant still flaunts its roots in Chinese culture. It is all part of the entire experience—tell-tale signs of the W brand.
Yen serves lunch and dinner, with an option to go for set menus or order à la carte. If you’re new to the restaurant and looking to taste a selection of signatures, go for the ‘tasting room experience’ set, a seven-course menu that showcases a little bit of everything.
