Gēn is Chinese for root. The owner-chef revisits his culinary roots and childhood memories with nostalgic flavours and a tasting menu driven by local seasonal produce, especially fish, whose courses never fail to surprise. The plating is particularly pleasing, and sometimes playful, such as the silky chicken soup in a glass bottle. The wine list boasts over 30 organic and biodynamic tipples that complement the food perfectly.

根 is a place that gives prominence to the reflection of Our Malaysian Story. We gave careful thought to how Malaysia's quality produce and local flavour fused with the intangible. Through food we translate relinquished memories, cultures, and experiences into something tangible that our guests can be a part of.

We hope to have it transport us back to the past and allow us to reminisce about it through our tastebuds. Introducing to you our very first: Interpretation of Malaysian ingredients and local flavours - Our Malaysian Story.
