Yun House at Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur Launches ‘Passages of Spring’ Culinary Series

Yun House, the Michelin-recommended Cantonese restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur, presents Passages of Spring from 15 March to 15 May 2026. This regional showcase, which includes 13 Four Seasons Chinese restaurants across Asia Pacific, celebrates the artistry of Chinese cuisine through seasonal ingredients, precise techniques, and impeccable timing. At Yun House, Chef Jimmy Wong’s eight-week spring menu and a special four-hands collaboration highlight spring’s clarity and vitality.

Passages of Spring honours the craftsmanship central to Chinese cooking, reflecting the season’s essence of precision and renewal. Across Asia, Four Seasons chefs draw on local harvests and regional traditions to create refined dishes via restrained methods like steaming, blanching, and quick wok-frying. Cross-regional collaborations further unite masters of Chinese gastronomy for exclusive explorations of seasonality.

In Kuala Lumpur, Yun House anchors Malaysia’s contribution with Chef Jimmy Wong’s seasonal menu, designed around peak spring produce such as chive blossoms, luffa melon, asparagus, and bamboo pith. From 15 March to 15 May 2026, these ingredients shine in lighter reinterpretations of Cantonese classics, preserving their natural flavours and textures.

“Spring is a time to awaken the palate without overwhelming it. At Yun House, we invite diners to discover Chinese dishes that feel light, fresh and vivid, yet still layered with depth. We’re also thrilled to welcome Chef Neal to our restaurant, a rare opportunity for epicures in Kuala Lumpur to savour a dialogue between Ningbo and Cantonese cuisines.”
