Tucked into a corner of the capacious The Exchange TRX in Kuala Lumpur is Amazonas. The eatery occupies a cosy little perch that is bolstered by prime views of the charcoal-fuelled grills strategically positioned right next to the entrance.

The restaurant is the brainchild of Kai Zen Au, the managing director of the Kenny Hills Hospitality Group. As the group has been primarily focused on expanding the Kenny Hills Bakers footprint, this foray into Latin American territory marks a departure from the norm.
