SELAMAT DATANG

Welcome! At the crossroads of trade and commerce, Malaysia weaves a unique tapestry of history from its many cultures and its traditions. Add in to this mix its geographical location with a vast flora and fauna diversity, it is only natural Malaysia is a rich melange of colors, flavors, and of sights and smells. Our warm hospitality comes from welcoming and co-mingling with the many traders and visitors to our fair shores. This is our story.

One of Malaysia’s most endearing and unique experience is our “open house”, a celebration of welcoming family, friends and even strangers to our homes during the festive season to partake in food and drinks. Special dishes are prepared, the home is dressed up for the occasion and we extend our warm hospitality in welcoming guests through our doorsteps. It is this unique experience that we aim to bring, daily, at OpenHouse Malaysia.

We are now temporarily located at Bangsar Shopping Centre from mid-April until Q1-2024 when our own permanent building is ready. An exciting new dining and experiential space to welcome you!

Collaboration with Jabatan Warisan Negara on almost extinct recipes.

We are delighted and honored to collaborate with Jabatan Warisan Negara to revive and reintroduce almost extinct recipes that have been gazetted as national heritage dishes.

We hope through this collaboration, we will keep the memories of these exceptional dishes alive. Some of the produce are jungle sourced, and we are proud to work with our Orang Asli community to bring them to the city. We are also thrilled to be working with Langit Collective sourcing Borneo Highland rice from small farms that have passed their rice seedlings down through generations.

Over the years Jabatan Warisan Negara have painstakingly collected and documented over 200 recipes and gazetted them as national heritage dishes. Many of these recipes could be lost due to time, and from the pressures of modern-day living. Many of us here today will agree we share fond memories of dishes that we used to eat as a younger self, but are now hard to find or even lost.

We have been blessed with a rich diversity in our culture, in our natural flora and fauna, and also in our history as a nation. And it is for this reason, Malaysian cuisine is indeed very unique in the world of gastronomy.

One restaurant is taking this to the next level by travelling further back in time to bring back long-lost generational recipes that are really hard to get these days; even in a typical household… A quick glance of the menu takes you back to childhood memories and growing up in Malaysia – the whiff of spices and fragrance of aromatics wafting from your grandmother’s open kitchen instantly comes to mind.

THE EDGE

With a wealth of wonderful street food, diverse cuisines and rich culinary culture, why is it that we are always stumped when we have to find an elegant restaurant that serves authentic local food? I don’t know about you, but apart from seafood restaurants and hawker stalls, I have not had much choice when it came to entertaining friends (particularly guests from abroad) who wanted to enjoy Malaysian food in stylish comfort.

So, after a decade and a half, I am delighted (and relieved) that we now have one more place in town to show off Malaysia’s culinary wealth to the rest of the world.

Andrew Wong, one of the owners of the Kuala Lumpur restaurant OpenHouse, believes that “the sudden renewed interest in Malay cuisine is fragile because it is a rediscovery”.

His restaurant, located in the Suria KLCC mall, keeps the authenticity of each dish, and balances it with subtle modern touches.

Wong sent his kitchen team back to their respective kampongs (villages), and asked them to bring back recipes of the dishes they remember. “They come from different states of the Peninsular and Borneo, and we fanned them out,” Wong says. “They cooked for their mothers and grandmothers, getting hints and lessons on how the dishes should be prepared.”
