Food 2025 – WHERE CULINARY ART MEETS UNPARALLED SERVICE HYATT REGENCY KUALA LUMPUR AT KL MIDTOWN

Helmed by Executive Chef Jonas Juchli, Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur’s award-winning culinary team is already generating buzz with bold, innovative concepts across four distinct dining venues.


Each restaurant has been thoughtfully curated to deliver exceptional gastronomic experiences that promise to redefine Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant food scene.


“From a delightful afternoon tea at Midtown Lounge to the authentic izakaya experience at ENSO, we are crafting something truly special for our guests,” shares Chef Jonas. “Our team is excited to unveil dining destinations that blend international flair with local influences.”

At the heart of the hotel’s culinary vision is a stellar lineup of chefs:

  • Chef Jonas Juchli, Executive Chef, together with Sujin Kim, Director of Food & Beverage Operations, leads the overall F&B program.
  • Master Chef Alan Shao brings Northern Chinese cuisine to life at China House, highlighted by his signature wood-fired Peking duck — a golden, crispy showstopper prepared in true Beijing tradition.
  • Master Chef Masami Okamoto reimagines Japanese dining at ENSO Izakaya & Bar, pairing vibrant izakaya dishes with a live DJ set for a one-of-a-kind experience.
  • Chef de Cuisine Jordan Mah elevates Midtown Brasserie with refined comfort classics, while Executive Pastry Chef Jason de Oca creates exquisite desserts that turn every meal into a celebration.
  • Supporting them are Executive Sous Chefs David Soh and Gui Keat Lee, ensuring seamless execution across venues and banquet events.

Together, this all-star team delivers unforgettable dining — from grand weddings and corporate functions to intimate lounge gatherings.


Chef Jonas’ culinary philosophy is rooted in sustainability and freshness. At Midtown Brasserie, he introduces a reimagined buffet concept where dishes are cooked à la minute rather than left in warming trays. Guests can savor specialties like freshly prepared mud crab, hand-pulled noodles at the live la mien station, or steaks grilled to their exact preference. The open kitchen concept allows diners to witness sustainable practices firsthand — from responsible sourcing to meticulous preparation.


Beyond the restaurants, Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur offers beautifully designed, Instagram-worthy spaces. China House enchants with an authentic tea collection of over 50 blends, carefully paired with its menu, while ENSO Izakaya & Bar — opening October 2025 — will feature an extensive sake selection, handcrafted cocktails, and a curated spirits library. Beverage highlights include creations by in-house mixologist Ivon Soon, reigning champion of the Monkey Shoulder Ultimate Bartender Championship.


Every detail of the dining journey is shaped by hospitality expertise under Sujin Kim, who brings years of experience from Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and Grand Hyatt Dubai to Kuala Lumpur. Guests will also be warmly welcomed by dedicated restaurant managers: Emma Johari at Midtown Brasserie and Lounge, Sharon Wong at ENSO, and Leslie Lim at China House.


Whether for a casual meal, a celebration, or a corporate event, Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown delivers dining experiences that inspire, indulge, and delight.
