[2025 Kuala Lumpur Restaurant] Travel Guide for Raw Kitchen Hall (Updated Jul)

A uniquely designed restaurant located in the lounge area of Else hotel. Having it's restaurant name to be known as Raw Kitchen Hall, and yet produces food menus and taste of food rich of flavor and satisfaction - focusing onto fusion menus with local asian favorite food, but mixing it with extra sauce and spice, and to present it in a very westernized formalish dish that is very appealing to the eyes of the guests. Located : Ground Floor, 145, Jalan Tun HS Lee, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia #kualalumpurtrip#cafe

#celebrateit Raw Kitchen Hall, is the dining restaurant in Else Hotel nestled in Chinatown. Knowing the brand is from Singapore, I was actually sceptical of the value I would be able to get from the meal. But it turned out absolutely enjoyable despite the high prices. Almost every item has some creative twist and fusion in between Asian and Latin elements, on top of rich layering of flavors and textures. For example, the seemingly simple appetizer—Pad Kra Pao croquettes—already has quite a lot going on. The well-loved basil-y Thai flavors was reimagined onto a crispy croquette, which further enhances the texture of the original dish with a crispy texture from the bread and succulent texture from the prawn. Even the sauce on the side was unique, though I found it unnecessary coz the croquette is already very rich on its own. The black mamba squid ink rice was surprisingly good too. Before this, most squid ink items I ate was rather bland to be honest, but this plate was umami-packed, and each grain of rice was distinctly separated, not to mention the dramatic visual. I can’t detail the creativity in every each dish (nobody cares reading that much either). But trust me, so long as you’re not obsessed with price-performance ratio, you’d very likely enjoy the food here. Not to mention the ambience was stellar too. The indoor pillars gave off a classic Ancient Greek vibe somehow. Lately they have rebranded the place to “Raw”, else not much has changed.

#favouriteitinerary I had a fantastic dining experience at RAW, Tun H S Lee. The interior was stunning—even the toilet was aesthetically pleasing! The food was excellent, and the service was just as impressive. There’s a hotel upstairs called ELSE, and the entire concept ties together beautifully. From the ambiance to the culinary experience, everything felt thoughtfully designed. Definitely a place worth visiting for both the food and the atmosphere! #food

Step into a floral wonderland at Weng Hoa Flower Boutique, Petaling Street’s iconic bloom haven!

Finding a restaurant with impeccable atmosphere and food? You must visit Raw Kitchen Hall! 🤤 It’s located on the ground floor of Else KL Hotel. MRT Pasar Seni is the nearest station to get to the restaurant if driving is a hassle. For starters I highly recommend trying the Pad Kra Pao and Black Mamba for main. Do make reservations in advance as it’s quite pack during the weekend. Also, each table is allocated 1 hour 45 minutes to dine. #deliciousfood #dateidea #kualalumpur
