Smoky, delicate eel delights await at Japanese restaurant in KL hotel
DELICATE, smoky and rich in umami, unagi takes centre stage this April in a trio of carefully crafted dishes that showcase the prized freshwater eel's versatility and flavours.
From steamed egg custard to grilled rice bowls and sushi rolls, each dish is built around the same premium ingredient which is prepared to highlight the melt-in-the-mouth texture of the gently charred finish.
The unagi menu is featured throughout the month at Kazuma Japanese Restaurant, Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur.
The Unagi Chawanmushi (RM25 nett) is a silky egg custard infused with the savoury aroma of eel for a light yet deeply satisfying appetiser.
For something heartier, the Unagi Maruboshi Rice (RM56 nett) offers tender, caramelised eel over steamed Japanese rice, served with crisp salad and miso soup.
Sushi lovers can opt for the Unagi Maki Roll (RM79 nett), where eel is layered over seasoned rice and wrapped in nori (seaweed) for a balance of sweetness, smokiness and freshness.
The unagi dishes are available until April 30.
Kazuma is open daily from 11.30am to 3pm for lunch and 6pm to 10pm for dinner.
For reservations, call 03-2149 2666 or WhatsApp 012-3994792.

Fashion or wearable art? These designs blur the line beautifully
This bold bonded leather scarf, worn as a large bow, offers the modern Audrey Hepburn a distinct, sharp elegance. Photo: Givenchy Some fashion designs are statement pieces, art-inspired or, in some cases, art in their own right. Wearable art, that is. Such creations are so exquisitely crafted that sometimes one just wants to keep and admire them, wearing them only on the most special occasions, as they are truly visually striking and unforgettable. Whether boldly avant-garde or subtly surreal, we have a selection of the latest creations from various brands and designers that embody geometric precision, sculptural form or artistic flair. Our top favourite has to be Christian Louboutin's killer pumps, where pointed toes clash with claw-shaped spikes, blending elegance with edge. The four-inch heel, slightly curved, juts out like a talon from the back. Covered in beige pony hair and set on the French brand's iconic red soles, every step is fiercely fabulous. Talk about a walk on the wild side.

What makes this piece standout is the twisted-effect handle that pays tribute to the Surrealist movement. It's a true collector's piece, for sure! When it comes to sculptural and artistic silhouettes, Issey Miyake will always be a name to remember. The artistic director and head designer of the Japanese label, Satoshi Kondo presents a Spring/Summer 2025 collection featuring dresses with pleats and folds that echo the precision of origami. Available in black and beige, these masterpieces are just as architectural as they are elegant. Speaking of structure, Givenchy's accessory du jour this season is an oversized scarf crafted in black bonded leather designed by the brand's new creative director, Sarah Burton. So bold and striking, it is worn askew around the neck like a big deconstructed bow (a quintessential Givenchy signature), elevating neckwear to a new art form. Something for the modern Audrey Hepburn, only sharper. A little fun fact, Hepburn was the enduring muse for the late Hubert De Givenchy.

The gold wrist sculpture is part of Piaget's new high jewellery collection, Shapes of Extraleganza, which explores the Maison's deep connection with art and design. The cuff bracelet features a fluid, organic free-form shape and sensual curves that wears on the wrist like a gentle wave. White diamonds make the creation even more irresistible and delicately dazzling. Just enough to catch the light and attention. In an almost round shape, Italian label Fendi offers a handbag that is cute and quirky but at the same time surprisingly structured. With a playful-meets-polished design that is unexpected yet balanced, the carrier is part dark brown and part orange, making it pop with colour contrast. Talk about a handle on style!
