Chalet, the preeminent Continental fine dining restaurant of the 1980s, will make a special pop-up appearance from 24 July to 12 August 2023, bringing with it the nostalgia of its heydays, and creating a new fanbase.
In its original incarnation, Chalet was a highly decorated, much awarded restaurant housed in the original Hotel Equatorial. From 1973, Chalet was one of the most sought after venues for celebrations and memorable events. Its white linen-topped tables, gleaming silverware and impeccable service marked an era of opulence and culinary excellence for Malaysia’s royals, socialites and glitterati.

This year, Chalet’s pop-up restaurant will allow a revisitation of well-loved traditions, including the spectacle of crêpes flambeed live in the restaurant. Chalet fans will be delighted to see many of its signature main course dishes presented once again.
On the table, expect to find favourites like Émincé de Veau à la Zurichoise, roasted mustard-crusted rack of lamb, Swiss Cheese Fondue, Raclette Valaisanne and Lobster Thermidor. Also on the menu will be the signature Swiss classic, Canard à la Presse.
Moreover, as in the days of old, succulent roast prime rib will be rolled in on a trolley and served right at the table. Dessert will once again regain the grandeur of the past when Crêpes Suzette, Soufflé and Sabayon are offered during this limited time period.
To further enhance the nostalgia, one of the original Chalet chefs, Krishnan Ramachandran, will be on hand to serve up morsels from the past. Chalet is destined to deliver flavours that are well remembered and still very much loved. The Chalet experience will be modernised by the inclusion of Sabayon, which will help to deliver this redux, along with a curated wine list of exclusive, impressive vintages and calibre.
Reservations can be made via online or email dineateqkl@kul.equatorial.com.
