Chef Carlos heads the kitchen at Makan Kitchen, ensuring everything is of top-notch quality, and just as equally important, that staff interact and communicate with guests
Featuring local favourites from Chinese, Malay, Indian and Pastry kitchens, Makan Kitchen’s Saturday Hi-Tea promotes a pleasant leisurely few hours of Malaysian culinary exploration. Not only does each cultural section boast its own dedicated chef and team, but some highly desirable cooking equipment too. I bet many a cook, amateur and professional, will have a fond eye for some of the machinery the kitchen crew are lucky enough to work with in these kitchens.
