Published on March 1, 2026

Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur is set to welcome the ‘Passages of Spring’ event, a gastronomic celebration that will run from March 15 to May 15, 2026. As part of a regional event featuring 13 esteemed Four Seasons Chinese restaurants in the Asia Pacific, this event will highlight the craftsmanship, artistry and seasonal elegance behind Chinese cuisine. At the centre of this celebration is Yun House, the hotel’s Michelin-recommended Cantonese restaurant, where Chef Jimmy Wong will showcase his spring-inspired menu, embodying the delicate balance and flavour profiles that define the season.

A Celebration of Seasonality in Chinese Cuisine

Passages of Spring at Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur offers diners an opportunity to experience the season’s freshest ingredients, prepared using traditional techniques that highlight their natural flavours. Chef Jimmy Wong’s menu is crafted to reflect the subtlety and lightness of spring, with an emphasis on restraint and the preservation of the ingredients’ integrity. The menu draws on local, seasonal produce such as chive blossoms, bamboo pith, asparagus, and luffa melon—ingredients that epitomise the freshness and vibrancy of the season.

Chef Wong’s approach to Chinese cuisine is centred on precision and clarity. Using techniques such as steaming, blanching, and quick wok-frying, the dishes are light and fresh while maintaining a depth of flavour. Notable dishes from the seasonal menu include the Wok-Fried Dried Shrimp, with its delicate aroma of chive blossoms and the unique texture of wood ear fungus, and the Pan-Seared Scallops, which are paired with crisp asparagus and a house-made scallop sauce. Each dish is designed to celebrate the harvests of spring, offering an experience that is both refined and deeply connected to the season.

An Exclusive Four-Hands Dining Experience with Chef Neal Zeng

From April 23 to 25, 2026, Yun House will host a highly anticipated four-hands dining experience in collaboration with Chef Neal Zeng of Song, the one-Michelin-star restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou. This rare culinary event will bring together two chefs from distinct regions—Chef Wong’s Cantonese flavours and Chef Zeng’s Ningbo cuisine—creating a unique fusion that showcases the best of both culinary traditions.

Ningbo cuisine, known for its subtle and natural flavours, will be interpreted through Chef Zeng’s expert techniques, highlighting seasonal ingredients like abalone, sturgeon caviar, lobster medallions, and black truffle. The menu will feature a blend of signature dishes from both chefs, such as Chef Zeng’s Steamed Coral Grouper with Pickled Vegetables and Chef Wong’s Fresh Crab Claws in Fish Broth with Yellow Wood Ear. This collaboration offers guests a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience the interplay between the delicate, fresh flavours of Ningbo and the bold, aromatic characteristics of Cantonese cuisine.

In addition to the incredible culinary journey, the evening will be enhanced with a curated Chinese wine pairing and a live guzheng zither performance, allowing guests to immerse themselves fully in the rich cultural heritage of Chinese gastronomy.
