The award-winning Lai Po Heen, an elegant Chinese restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur, serves classic Cantonese cuisine, specialising in fresh traditional delicacies and contemporary dim sum assortments.

 

Setting the scene, a hierarchy of Chinese chefs with flaming woks showcase their culinary skills within the open kitchen backdrop, a unique feature of the restaurant which provides guests with a spectacular view of the sumptuous fare being prepared.

 

The grand décor is patterned after turn of the century homes of Chinese tycoons featuring sumptuous private rooms with high ceilings and wooden and glass panel sliding doors, embellished with intricate classic Oriental designs. In warm, mahogany tones, the seven exquisite private rooms are adorned with ornate chandeliers. Oriental artwork and artifacts offer an intimate ambience for a gathering of family or friends. The atmosphere in the restaurant is further enhanced with piped-in classical Chinese opera music.
