YE ZI CONCEPT STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT OPENS AT THE ROOF! LOCATED ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THE OTHER OUTLETS, YE ZI MEANS 'COCONUT' IN MANDARIN AND OFFERS THE FINEST, FRESHEST INGREDIENTS MADE INHOUSE WITH NO PRESERVATIVES OR ARTIFICIAL COLOURING! PRICE AVERAGES RM 40 TO RM 100 PER PERSON DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU ORDER FROM THE ALA CARTE MENU

YE ZI IS THE 6TH AND FINAL OUTLET AT THE 52,000 SQ FT THE ROOF AND THE ROOF IS NOW COMPLETE. I WAS WONDERING WHAT WAS THE SPACE PREVIOUSLY BUT IT WAS JUST A HUGE STOREROOM!


SAID DAX LEE, ONE OF THE OWNERS OF THE ROOF TOGETHER WITH ROEN CIAN, "WHEN I WAS IN CHINA, I WAS INSPIRED BY THE STEAMBOAT THAT CONCENTRATED ON THE INGREDIENTS RATHER THAN THE SOUP. IN MALAYSIA, MORE EMPHASIS IS LAID ON THE CLEAR OR TOMYAM SOUP ETC BUT HERE AT YE ZI, WE ENSURE THE MEAT, SEAFOOD AND VEGETABLES ARE TOP QUALITY AS WE BELIEVE THE SOUP WILL AUTOMATICALLY REFLECT WHAT IS PUT INSIDE."


YE ZI IS CO-OWNED BY OPERATING PARTNER KATRINA WONG WHO OWNS 49% WHILE 51% IS CONTROLLED BY THE ROOF. KATRINA IS ONLY 26 AND DAX LEE MARVELS AT HER RELENTLESS HARD WORK. HE EXPLAINED, "I ONLY WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO THEIR VENTURES SINCE THEY HAVE PUT IN THEIR LIFE SAVINGS AND WILL WORK TIRELESSLY TO ENSURE THEIR INVESTMENT GROWS, NOT SOME RICH KID WHO GETS THE SEED MONEY FROM A DOTING DADDY AND QUICKLY LOSES INTEREST AFTER THE INITIAL EXCITEMENT!"


KATRINA WONG IS SO HANDS ON SHE EVEN LISTS HER HANDPHONE 019 888 1661 ON HER NAME CARD AT THE RECEPTION INSTEAD OF THE USUAL LAND LINE NUMBER! 


I PREDICT YE ZI WILL BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS AS THE FOOD IS DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS AND THE SERVICE IS EXCELLENT!
