Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s premier shopping destination offered a media preview of Journey of Taste today at the Dining Loft. From 1st to 30th September, Journey of Taste will offer shoppers a journey of food trails, promotions and events, right in the heart of the city. With over 150 F&B tenants, a dedicated gourmet hall, spacious restaurants with private rooms, and a VIP dining concierge, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur offers experiential dining options for all occasions and across all age groups.
Highlighting the best of international and local cuisines, Journey of Taste invites shoppers to bring out their inner ‘foodie’ and embark on delectable food trails throughout the mall. Have a preference for Japanese food? Hop on a journey of Japanese dining from the wide selections of Japanese restaurants available at the mall. Looking for exciting new experiences? Tackle your taste buds with first-in-Malaysia restaurants like Starz Kitchen and The Counter Burger. Hosting a ladies night out? Pavilion Kuala Lumpur has the most number of restaurants in the city that offer private dining rooms. To encourage the sharing of food experiences, shoppers are invited to hashtag #JourneyOfTaste when they capture their ‘foodie’ moments on social media.
To make the journey even more exciting, the mall has lined up a series of promotions, cooking workshops and food demonstrations for all, children included. In conjunction with truffles season in September, Azzurro Café has dedicated a Taste of Tuscany menu which incorporates truffles all the way from the city of Arezzo, east of Tuscany, into a variety of dishes. In addition, there will be the first-ever block party held in a mall, where shoppers are encouraged to go restaurant-hopping along Connection, to try out the beer-pairing menus offered in collaboration with the Carlsberg group of beers.
With September being the school holidays, the children are also welcome to join the journey of food discoveries. Cooking workshops, held in partnership with restaurants like Fish & Co. and Ippudo are available for sign-ups and aimed to inspire junior chefs out there.
