MIGF 2015 PART 1---YE ZI IS THE BEST AND MOST UNIQUE STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT IN KUALA LUMPUR AND PETALING JAYA AND VERY POSSIBLYBLY ALL OF MALAYSIA! YE ZI IS THE FIRST STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT TO OFFER TRUFFLE BROTH INSTEAD OF PLAIN WATER AS SOUP BASE!

CONSIDERING STEAMBOAT IS SO COMMON AND POPULAR, NO ONE APPEARS TO HAVE THOUGHT OF UPGRADING THIS DELIGHTFUL, FAMILY-ORIENTED MEAL INTO A FINE DINING EXPERIENCE IN A PROPER RESTAURANT SETTING!

Steamboat eateries are a dime a dozen but are usually found in food courts, roadside restaurants, hawker centres and even by the road.

Enter Ye Zi which means 'coconut' flavoured as the base soup is coconut juice and not plain tap water! 

And now, for the first time in steamboat history, owners Dax Lee and Katrina Wong have just introduced a broth flavoured with truffles! 

Yes, the world's most expensive mushroom/fungus is now the base ingredient in the soup!

Steamboat is now elevated to a new status which is bound to lure cosmopolites, trendsetters and foodies to try it out.

The scent of truffles wafting from the soup in front of you is enough to send your senses reeling as no one has ever concocted this outrageous formula before. 

Dato Kok Wee Kiat commented, "Using truffles as a base soup is unheard of and is bound to offend a few French purists but of course cooking is about evolution!"

Even more tantalising is the Matsusaka beef which is super premium and used to cost RM 700 per kg. Due to our collapsing ringgit, it now costs around RM 1,000 per kg! 

The Spanish black pig or Iberian ham is the perfect complement to Matsusaka beef and due to the frightful prices, each diner is only allowed one piece of meat! To make sure no greedy piggy cheats and eats more than his share, Captain Sim who looked after our table personally cooked each sliver for us!

Ye Zi is one of 6 outlets in the 50,000 sq ft, premium integrated F & B and entertainment haven which includes the upscale Signature by the Hill Asian and fusion restaurant, The Malt and Leaf for whisky and cigar lovers, Play Club for clubbers and dancers, Score the sports bar and Stratosphere, located on the open-air rooftop which was one the helipad and is Asia's first and only luxury bar located on infinity grassed helipad with unobstructed 360 degree views of Kuala Lumpur and greater Klang Valley.

YE ZI IS PRESIDED BY CHEF PAN CHEE MENG WITH INPUT FROM KATRINA WONG AND DAX LEE
