Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur right under the Petronas Twin towers is a beautiful dining space called Open House featuring the work of my friends Andrew and Brian.
With interior design and architectural backgrounds, Andrew and Brian have created a stunning space, fusing a flare of local Malay and modern interiors with plush cushions and exquisite fabric to create a luxurious yet familiar ambience.
The cuisine was also carefully thought through. Each dish has a story highlighting traditional and royal household recipes, many of which have been passed down through generations and respectfully modernised. The keria churros served at the restaurant is a modern version of the kuih keria sold on the streets.
Often I think “if you can’t make it better than the original, don’t do it”, but not when it comes to this dessert as it is simply outstanding. It’s genius!
