The Humboldt Co is a new bar and restaurant in Damansara Heights that is arguably one of the more significant bar openings in the past year, not least because it is helmed by Lolita Goh and Joshua Ivanovic, who are the creative forces behind one of Kuala Lumpur’s top bars, award-winning rum-focused JungleBird.
Inspired by the Humboldt Current which flows from the southern tip of Chile up north through to the Galapagos archipelago (and named after Prussian explorer Alexander von Humboldt), The Humboldt aims to introduce Malaysians to the rich flavours and cultures of South America, specifically Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, through crafted cocktails and punchy sharing plates.
