Five Sen5es

Indulgent Chinese cuisine that refuses to bow to tradition
Popular plate: The delicious all-you-can-eat dim sum weekday lunch is well worth RM 48.

If you're after simple Chinese food, look elsewhere: the dishes at Five Sen5es are daring and decadent, with prices to match. Malaysian and Japanese influences inform much of the food—and unlike the majority of dining establishments in KL, Five Sen5es is not halal, so there's pork aplenty. The unlimited dim sum is a marvel, but there are treasures on the a la carte menu, too, from glazed pig's tail with dried chilli and roast garlic to spiced golden fried rice.
Like all the dining establishments at the Westin Hotel, Five Sen5es has impressive decor, with antique tables and marble walls. The crowd here skews toward expats and cashed-up travellers, and reservations are recommended.
