Uncovering art and food with Lim Wei-Ling

As the first Banyan Tree property to open in Malaysia and having stayed at Banyan Tree Phuket some time ago, it was with great anticipation when I arranged to have lunch at the Horizon Grill in the new Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur which opened in July with Lim Wei-Ling, the doyenne of contemporary art in Malaysia.

Centrally located opposite the Pavilion Shopping Mall, this urban resort occupies the top seven floors of the Banyan Tree Hotel & Residences with its serenely understated lobby located on the 53rd floor. A high-speed elevator whisks me up to the 58th floor where the Horizon Grill is located and this light-filled and appetite-inducing restaurant lures anyone who loves a good chow down – be it comfort food or fine dining - into its lair.
