MY BEST DINNER OF MY TRIP IN KUALA LUMPUR
ここの料理は日本人の口にも合って、最高です。妻は多くの食材アレルギーがありますが、スタッフのHANさんが細かく聞いてくれて、満足出来る食事が出来ました。私達は英語が苦手ですが、スタッフのJJさんが日本語で話しかけてくれて、とてもフレンドリーでした。日本人が美味しい中華料理を食べたいなら絶対にここに来るべきです。ソファー席もあり、子連れ旅行に疲れた時もリラックスできます。価格も良心的です

A SPOT ON LUNCH .. MUST TRY
WE RECENTLY HAD AN AMAZING DINING EXPERIENCE AT YEN @ W HOTEL KL, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A BIG THUMBS UP TO THE ENTIRE STAFF FOR THEIR EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. SPECIAL THANKS TO THE CAPTAIN, A GENTLEMAN WITH A PONYTAIL (I REGRET NOT GETTING HIS NAME), WHOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE SPOT ON. HE EVEN SURPRISED US WITH A SMALL CAKE FOR THE BIRTHDAY BOY, WHICH WAS A THOUGHTFUL AND MUCH-APPRECIATED GESTURE.
MANY THUMBS UP TO THE CHEFS AS WELL! THE CRISPY GOLDEN DUCK WAS OUTSTANDING, FROM ITS TASTE TO THE PRESENTATION—EVERY BITE WAS DELICIOUS. THE SMOKED LONGIN TEA PRAWNS WERE EQUALLY DELIGHTFUL, WITH A DISTINCT SMOKY FLAVOR THAT I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED.
OVERALL, YEN @ W HOTEL KL PROVIDED A WONDERFUL DINING EXPERIENCE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING SOON!
