It’s December and the season of giving, sumptuous feasts and holidays is here! It’s everyone’s favourite time of the year where we reflect on the year that has been while we chart our plans for the new year. It’s also that time of the year when we attend fun parties (and the many Christmas feasts) with family and friends. If you’re planning to eat out to celebrate the year-end and Yuletide festivities and are looking for the best places to celebrate Christmas in Kuala Lumpur, here’s a list of restaurants you should be making reservations at for a wonderful Christmas time.
Mandarin Oriental is one of the few five-star hotels around the heart of KL that is still thriving to this day. That is partially due to the success of the Mandarin Grill, the hotel’s in-house restaurant. This Christmas, prepare to whet your appetite for a Yuletide celebration like no other.
