Kuala Lumpur is a city where you are almost guaranteed to eat well - even more so from September 4-8.
The Kita Food Festival will make its return to the Malaysian capital, bringing together some of the biggest names in the culinary scene from across the region.
Think four hands dinners, a curated kitchen takeover, or a masterclass from experts. Take your pick.
Highlights will include Jimmy Ophorst of PRU (Phuket, Thailand), Phuket’s first and only restaurant to have a Michelin star, doing a dinner alongside Masashi Horiuchi at Potager.
Ben Devlin of Pipit in Pottsville (Australia), a Regional Restaurant of the Year finalist in Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide 2023, will run a kitchen takeover at Yellow Fin Horse at Else Kuala Lumpur featuring native Australian bush foods like bunya nuts, lemon myrtle, Dorrigo pepper and dried pipis cooked with Malaysian-grown produce.
Johnson Ebenezer of Farmlore (Bangalore, India) will pitch in for a four hands dinner alongside Shaun Ng of HIDE. The menu has been designed to take guests on a culinary journey around Malaysia with each course spotlighting a high-quality ingredient from ethical producers around the nation.
Then there is Prin Polsuk of one-Michelin star restaurant Samrub Samrub Thai (Bangkok, Thailand) bringing southern Thai seafood cuisine to Raw at Else Kuala Lumpur.
Also, Christophe Lerouy, chef/pPtron of one-Michelin star Lerouy (Singapore), will cook alongside Masashi Horiuchi at Entier.
A Food Affair at The Toffee on Jalan Raja Chulan will be a full-day event with keynote speakers and fireside talks by regional food experts, interactive food and wine masterclasses, and a marketplace with artisan products from around Malaysia.
The Big Sunday Barbecue will wrap up the KL Weekender on September 8.
Kita Food Festival is in its fourth year and will also host events in Singapore in early 2025.
