A Taste of Australia Lands at Arthur's Bar & Grill, Kuala Lumpur
Arthur's Bar & Grill at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is inviting diners on a culinary journey with its latest offering, A Taste of Australia. This exclusive menu celebrates the purity of Australian produce, the craftsmanship of its farmers and fishers, and a commitment to sustainability.
Carefully curated by the restaurant's culinary team, the menu showcases flavours inspired by Australia's rugged coastlines, fertile plains, and pristine waters, inviting guests to savour the stories behind each ingredient.
The experience opens with Jade Tiger Abalone, sustainably farmed off Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula. Known for its tender texture and natural sweetness, the abalone is paired with avocado salsa and wasabi soy vinaigrette.
Seafood features prominently, including the Southern Rock Lobster, wild-caught from South Australia's rugged coastline. Served in a rich lobster bisque within a roasted pumpkin bowl and accompanied by a lobster satay, the dish reflects the bold, coastal character of Australian cuisine.
For those seeking a more substantial option, the 200-day grain-fed Black Angus Beef is a standout. Sourced from certified farms, the seared beef mignon is elevated with wild forest mushrooms, silky mashed potatoes, and a decadent truffle jus. This classic combination is refined with precision, delivering a dish that is both hearty and sophisticated.
The menu also features the Catch of the Day Garfish, caught from Spencer Gulf and served with truffle mash and sautéed vegetables, as well as West Coast Black Mussels poached in aromatic spices and double cream, accompanied by rustic sourdough. These plates offer a variety of textures and tastes that reflect Australia's diverse marine bounty.
To finish, diners can enjoy the Native Tea & Honeycomb dessert — a layered creation of tea-infused tiramisu, wild berries, and honeycomb ice cream. It's a nuanced combination that showcases native Australian flavours, including bush tea and honey from the Adelaide Hills.
Exceptional pairings of South Australian wines, premium non-alcoholic juices, or freshly brewed Monjava coffee and native teas are available to enhance the dining experience.
Executive Chef Scott Brands sums up the occasion: 'A Taste of Australia is not just a celebration of fine produce, it's a narrative of land, legacy, and craftsmanship — all thoughtfully translated to the plate.'
A Taste of Australia is available for lunch and dinner from August 5 – 12, 2025, at Arthur's Bar & Grill. It is open daily from noon to 11:30pm (Sunday to Thursday) and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Related
