Makan Kitchen
Makan Kitchen, the signature all-day dining at DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur, is taking us on a journey filled with cuisines of diverse cultures. Makan Kitchen, touted as the true showcase of Malaysian dining, is a gastronomic introduction to the versatility of Malaysian cuisine.
Malaysia is not just a melting pot filled with historical monuments and stories. Malaysia is seen as a place for culinary adventures. Viewed as the hub of culinary actions, Makan Kitchen is the heart of food. Keeping true to its “Heritage Dining Village” theme, the new Makan Kitchen comes with a wide range of cultures, flavours and tastes.
Venture into a New Realm of Multicultural Cuisine
One of the many things
Makan Kitchen is known for is its wide range of cultures when it comes to food. Diners who enter Makan Kitchen are taken on a trip down memory lane with signature Malaysian dishes and at the same time, introduced to new offerings.
Panning across Malaysian cultures, Makan Kitchen introduces and infuses the use of local influences such as the Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisines that are popularly known across Malaysia. Beyond the local popular cultures, Makan Kitchen highlights an array of authentic taste of Malaysia through the Kristang, Peranakan and Iban culture cuisines.
Journey through the culture of Kristang, a creole ethnic group of people of mixed Portuguese and Malaccan descent based in Malaysia and Singapore.
The Kristang culture fuses both Portuguese and local flavours, inspired from local Malay, Chinese and Indian spices and methods such as the ever-famous Cari Debal, also known as Devil’s Curry, a very spicy curry flavoured with candlenuts, galangal and vinegar.
Take an adventure through the Peranakan section at Makan Kitchen. The Peranakan is made up of people descended from marriages between Chinese and local Malay or Indonesian women from around the Malay Archipelago. The Peranakan cuisine came about thanks to the union of Chinese ingredients and distinct spices and cooking techniques used by the Malay/ Indonesian community. Famously known is Nyonya Laksa, a dish with coconut milk that adds a distinctive richness to it.
Explore the Iban culture, a branch of Dayak (native people of Borneo). Most Ibans live in Sarawak, with a small population based in Sabah and West
Malaysia. The culture of Iban is alive in them today even as society has become more urbanised. Their staple food, “Pansuh”, translates to food cooked in a bamboo stem.
Makan Kitchen and its Signature Dishes
With the diversity of cultures coming together,
Makan Kitchen creates not only a melting pot of a variety of food but also signature dishes, which makes a visit to Makan Kitchen a-must. These signature dishes are a reflection of what it means to have a true Malaysian dining experience, which features traditional favorites — from
