Gordon Ramsay's Bar & Grill brings the classic Wellington to new heights
A name familiar to everyone, Gordon Ramsay brings elevated British fare to Sunway Resort Hotel with his first Malaysian venture. The restaurant's space is a showcase of both British sophistication and contemporary luxury, dominated by rich red and forest green hues and a 24 karat gold leaf ceiling for a touch of opulence. The best of British culture is celebrated here, and loudly at that. Set foot into the restaurant and it will prove difficult to ignore monochrome portraits by photographers Terry O'Neill and Arthur Steel featuring the likes of Sean Connery, Mick Jagger, Twiggy, and more.

The menu here is much like its decor and places familiar British favourites in the spotlight. The menu's crown jewel is undoubtedly its signature beef wellington, a Gordon Ramsay classic. A perfectly seared beef fillet is brushed in English mustard and encased in mushroom duxelles and puff pastry before being served alongside pomme puree and Bordelaise jus. Its Hanwoo beef sirloin is also bound to impress, finished in the restaurant's Josper charcoal oven for added complexity and accompanied by braised Roscoff onions and black garlic puree. Dessert is not an afterthought either, with the restaurant playing host to an indulgent apple tarte tatin made with only Pink Lady apples.

At the heart of it is Chef Hans Christian, whose food reflects his roots, global travels and refined artistry. Expect flavours layered with nostalgia, elegance and soul—crafted with world-class technique and emotional resonance. Hans is especially known for turning childhood memories into culinary poetry. For the Tatler Best Takeover Series, Chef Hans teamed up with Chef Raymond Tham of Beta—a name synonymous with modern Malaysian fine dining. Known for redefining how the world sees Malaysian cuisine, Chef Raymond brings heritage, creativity and finesse to the plate, all while staying deeply rooted in local traditions. Held at Skillet, Beta's sister restaurant, this two-night dinner featured six sessions across the weekend and an exceptional menu that celebrated shared cultural roots and boundary-pushing execution. Menu highlights : Ubi Kemili with Kulim, Cured Duck & Manchego – Earthy Kelantan potatoes, house-cured duck prosciutto and shaved Manchego, finished with fragrant Kulim oil (truffle's wild Malaysian cousin). A warm, flavourful bridge between Malaysian terroir and modern European technique. Kuih Loyang 'Kolak' – A nostalgic Beta signature reimagined, inspired by Indonesia's beloved kolak dessert. Crisp kuih shells cradle creamy banana and palm sugar filling—a bite-sized love letter to both countries' culinary pasts.

On June 28, Reka:Bar played host to William Wu of Taipei's acclaimed The Public House, alongside KL's own Joel Poon. Together, they served a bold and poetic cocktail menu—from delicate floral blends to complex fermented infusions. Think osmanthus, rum, kombucha, lapsang tea and more—each drink a conversation between KL and Taipei, served in a glass. And it was not just the cocktails that had guests raving. Reka's bar snacks rose to the occasion too. The Braised Beef Gua Bao, stuffed with meltingly tender brisket, offered pure comfort between soft lotus buns. The Grilled Chicken Skewers, served with garlic confit aioli and basil oil, delivered punchy, balanced flavour—an unexpected star of the evening. And the Scallion Pancake, a nod to Taipei's street food scene, was crisp and flaky with just the right touch of sweetness from truffle honey—mirroring the ingredients found in William's cocktails and bringing the pairing full circle.

William joined Siti Norsuria, the creative mind behind The Silver Monkey's imaginative pours, for a night of flavours both rooted and rebellious. Menu highlights: The Public #1 (The Public House): A delicate, floral combination of gin, paochong tea, osmanthus syrup, and chardonnay. Light, graceful, and quietly iconic—this signature from Taipei's The Public House is a perfect introduction to William Wu's poetic cocktail style. Plum & Rose (Reka:Bar): A layered, romantic blend of scotch whisky, plum wine, rose kombucha, and galangal. Sweet, smoky, and gently spiced, this drink lingers long after your last sip—both on the palate and in memory. Teh Ratu (The Silver Monkey)– Persian saffron meets Chinese kombucha with a tart apple kiss, unfolding into florals and bittersweet complexity. Elegant, layered, and quietly powerful—a drink that left a lasting impression. A landmark weekend for Malaysia's dining scene Above The dining experience at Nadodi, overlooking the KL skyline The Tatler Best Takeover Series proved that Kuala Lumpur is more than ready for world-class culinary programming. With every seat sold out and phenomenal feedback from guests, the two-day event brought together the best of Asia's chefs and bartenders for a celebration of culture, creativity and craft. From Shanghai's hardest-to-book restaurant to Jakarta's award-winning modern Indonesian cuisine and Taipei's trailblazing bar culture, this was not just a dining event—it was a cross-cultural moment in KL history. It was also a celebration of Malaysia's own homegrown talent. From Chef Yavhin of Nadodi and Chef Raymond Tham of Beta, to Joel Poon of Reka:Bar and Siti Norsuria of The Silver Monkey, these chefs and mixologists have not only carved out a name for themselves locally, but have also helped position Malaysia on the global culinary stage.
