China's standard-bearer for Zhejiang cuisine makes a marvellous debut in Malaysia: LONGJING has launched in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, its flagship for a three-restaurant rollout that spans Sunway Pyramid and Sunway Velocity this month, following triumphant forays into Singapore and Bangkok.
Founded amid the Longjing tea fields beside Hangzhou city's West Lake, LONGJING champions Zhejiang province's culinary artistry, celebrated for its calibrated flavours, fresh rather than forceful, light and refined instead of heavy or heated.
This Pavilion locale is LONGJING's largest overseas restaurant, its design drawing eloquently from Ten Scenes of West Lake, a canon of classical landscape vistas. The space is structured like a lakeside promenade, with vignettes that reveal themselves poetically, like a stroll on the water's edge.
Black-awning seating evokes boats that traverse West Lake, while hand-painted murals and oil-paper umbrellas sketch out the Jiangnan region’s visual vernacular with motifs like Three Pools Mirroring the Moon.
LONGJING's gastronomy mirrors that geography, built on the soulful clarity of broths, the sweetness of the fisherman's catch and the succulence of slow braises, in collaboration with Chinese Gold Chef Award recipient Chef Yu Bin.
From Emperor Qianlong Fish Head to Dongpo Pork Ribs, LONGJING raises Zhejiang cooking traditions to the esteem long held by Cantonese, Sichuan and Shanghainese food, widening Malaysia's map of Chinese culinary expression.
