A Four-Hands Dinner at ATAS

Nestled within the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur, The RuMa Hotel and Residences is preparing for an event that promises to redefine the culinary boundaries of East and West. This September, the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, ATAS, will become the stage for “Table of Flavours: A Culinary Celebration,” a dining experience that is as much a cultural exchange as it is a gastronomic delight.




The event is the brainchild of two visionary chefs: Executive Chef Suhalmi Tasir of The RuMa and Chef John Lim of Roots, Kuching. Their mission? To meld the rustic charm of Sarawakian cuisine with the refined elegance of European bistro fare. Over the course of two evenings, guests will embark on a culinary journey that promises to captivate and enchant.

As Chef Suhalmi puts it, “This isn’t just about food. It’s about storytelling through our dishes.” Each course is designed to be a narrative, a blend of history and innovation that pays homage to the ingredients and culinary traditions of Malaysia and Europe.

The collaboration between Chef Suhalmi and Chef John is a dance of flavours and techniques. From the appetizer of Kaci Fish Tartare, adorned with apple gel and citrus pearls, to the main course of Smoked Wagyu Beef Brisket or Pan Seared Golden Pomfret, the menu is a testament to their shared passion for pushing culinary boundaries.

Dessert is no less spectacular, with an Artisan Stracciatella Parfait that marries mulberry brown butter ice cream with charcoal crumble and vanilla meringue—a sweet finale that echoes the fusion theme of the evening.

Priced at MYR328 nett per person, with an optional pairing of wines and tuak, “Table of Flavours” is more than a meal; it is an experience, an opportunity to witness the harmony of contrasting culinary philosophies. It is a celebration of the diversity that defines our world, served on a plate.

For those seeking to immerse themselves in this unique culinary narrative, reservations are a must. Contact The RuMa Hotel and Residences to secure a spot at this limited event. As the flavours of the world converge in Kuala Lumpur, “Table of Flavours” stands as a testament to the beauty of culinary diversity and the magic that happens when cultures collide.
