MIGF 2015 PART 2---YE ZI IS THE WORLD'S FIRST AND ONLY FINE DINING STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT! NEVER BEFORE HAS THIS LOWLY CUISINE, USUALLY FOUND IN HAWKERS' CENTRE AND BY THE ROADSIDE, BEEN ELEVATED TO FINE DINING STATUS! YE ZI IS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD BUT IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED AS THE BEST STEAMBOAT THIS SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE. WITH THE NEW TRUFFLE-INFUSED BROTH INSTEAD OF PLAIN TAP WATER, YE ZI IS NOW IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN!

YE ZI (MEANING 'COCONUT' FLAVOUR) AT THE ROOF, FIRST AVENUE BUILDING, IS AN UPSCALE YET REASONABLY PRICED STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT IN OPULENT SURROUNDINGS NORMALLY RESERVED FOR PRICEY CHINESE CUISINE USING ABALONE AND SHARK'S FIN.
Yet despite the grandeur, Ye Zi is relaxed and comfortable, allowing guests to dine in air conditioned luxury or out in the balcony taking in magnificent views of Bandar Utama all the way to KLCC and KL Tower.
You can spend RM 288 ++ per person on MIGF Festival Menu with wine or around RM 35 per person for more pedestrain fare!
Service is near flawless and comparable to pricey Chinese restaurants.
Owners Dax Lee is a renowned restauranteur who runs Ye Zi on a day to day basis with partner Katrina Wong who looks after Ye Zi only so don't look for her at Signature by the Hill restaurant, Playclub disco, The Malt and Leaf Stratosphere or Score sports bar.
Katrina Wong, 27, resembles a Chinese actress and is more beautiful than Zhang ZiYi and visits Ye Zi every evening so you can feast your peepers on this dazzling fair damsel as you tuck in the comestibles. As you wipe the sweat off your brow under the suspicious eyes of your gf, blame it on the steam from the pot!
Katrina Wong also runs a boutique called Mesmerise at Plaza Damas so you can see her there but she sells only female attire.
From Day One, Ye Zi uses only coconut water (good for your daughter!) as soup base and not el-cheapo plain tap water! Now it has upped the ante by introducing a broth infused with truffles!
This luxury touch is the first of its kind so enjoy the soup in the early stages when the truffle fragrance is still strong. By the time 2 hours have lapsed and you have dunked in chicken, beef, lamb, pork, fish, veggies and what not, the truffle smell will be stifled though the soup will have a different, sweet and delightful taste!
Ye Zi is a class of its own and is a must-try when next in Bandar Utama.
