Innovative modern Malaysian fare


The wagyu beef with beef cheek rendang is a thing of true beauty that pays homage to classic favourites without diluting the beauty of the ingredients. — ABIRAMI DURAI/The Star

Sequestered in the burgeoning dining enclave of Taman Tun Dr Ismail in Kuala Lumpur is a new restaurant called Terra Dining. The eatery’s entrance is unassuming – in fact, there isn’t even a sign. Instead there is a discreet, old-fashioned doorbell which you have to press to be admitted entrance to the inner sanctum of this eatery.

Inside, co-owner Lai Hin Han greets you with a warm, genuine smile. Han, as he is better known, is an eloquent, incredibly well-mannered man with a natural warmth and grace. This is a quality that seems to have been transferred to the entire service team as exemplified by waiter Shafiq Rehman who takes “service with a smile” to a whole new level.
