If restaurants were contestants in a beauty pageant, Beta would easily be the prettiest one in the extraction-going on.
When you enter the restaurant, youll be struck by the multitude of large potted flora and fauna scattered throughout, which lend the look an haute botanical vibe. Then there are the colourful Malaysian motifs everywhere from the Chinese apothecary themed bar to the rattan chairs muggy the bar place and a large batik masterpiece going on for a feature wall.
The eatery is the brainchild of head chef Raymond Tham and his charity of friends. This is the same team previously aficionada European restaurant Skillet, which is just a immediate stroll away. Beta refers to both the Greek numeral system, which translates to 2 (by now this is the second restaurant for the team) and along before now to first person pronoun Malaysian kings use to focus upon themselves, because Tham believes everyone should be able to eat following kings.
When we set occurring this restaurant, I asked myself: What is Malaysian cuisine? Many people increase it totally differently. Some will use local ingredients or local flavours but for me personally, what I really eat is banana leaf rice for lunch, chicken rice for dinner and something else for supper. And for me, that is Malaysian, says Tham.
