A round of applause, fam! Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur has officially been recognised as Malaysia’s first five-star hotel certified as a Malaysian Heritage Cuisine Hotel. This prestigious honour was conferred by Jabatan Warisan Negara, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, during the official launch of the Malaysian Heritage Cuisine.

The ceremony was officiated by YB Datuk Khairul Firdaus bin Akbar Khan, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, together with YBhg. Encik Mohamad Muda bin Bahadin, Director General of Jabatan Warisan Negara; Mr. Samuel Lee Thai Hung, Deputy Director General (Promotion II), Tourism Malaysia; and Mr. Sharin Mokhtar, Deputy Director General (Planning), Tourism Malaysia.

Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is proud to be the first luxury hotel in the country to achieve this recognition. The hotel’s culinary team includes six chefs who have undergone formal training and certification in preparing authentic Malaysian heritage dishes. A selection of these dishes, prepared under the guidance of Dato’ Chef Ismail Ahmad, Head of Heritage Cuisine at Jabatan Warisan Negara, was showcased at the event.

The event also featured the Malaysian Breakfast, including the popular Nasi Lemak Bungkus, Roti Canai & Kaya Toast with Soft Boiled Eggs, which was certified on the UNESCO World Heritage food list.

A host of other Malaysian Heritage dishes were served, including the Nasi Dagang, Tok Rendang, Roti Jala, Chicken Rice, Nasi Goreng Kampung, Sup Rebusan Tulang, Colek Buah-Buahan, a series of Malaysian sambals and Malaysian desserts.

Celebrating 40 Years Of Shangri-La KL: Honouring Malaysian Heritage Cuisine

As Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur marks its 40th anniversary this year, the hotel embarks on a meaningful celebration by introducing Malaysian Heritage Cuisine. This initiative stands as more than a culinary offering, it is a heartfelt tribute to Malaysia’s rich, diverse, and dynamic food legacy. It reflects the hotel’s core DNA of Asian Heritage and its commitment to embodying the spirit of Malaysian Hospitality.

Selangor Forest Park Now Recognised As UNESCO World Heritage Site

By highlighting heritage cuisine, Shangri-La brings together the tapestry of cultures, histories, and communities that define Malaysia, reaffirming that food is a universal language capable of weaving bonds across generations, backgrounds and beliefs.

The decision to focus on Malaysian Heritage Cuisine is a natural extension of this identity. Food, after all, is inseparable from culture, memory, and hospitality.

For Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, serving food is not only about delighting the palate, but also about telling stories – stories of migration, adaptation, and unity that parallel the history of Malaysia itself.

Shangri-La KL, Strategic Partner Of Visit Malaysia 2026 & Malaysian Heritage Cuisine

As we gear up for Visit Malaysia 2026, Malaysian Heritage Food stands poised as one of the central pillars in the nation’s tourism promotions. More than just sustenance, these culinary treasures offer visitors a genuine taste of Malaysia’s soul, weaving together stories of heritage, migration, and celebration. For a luxury 5-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is promoting Malaysia through the flavours and tastes of its multi-ethnic heritage as an immersive way to connect with guests, clients, and visitors from around the world.

Adopting Malaysian Heritage Cuisine, the hotel is the ambassador of Malaysian cuisine, presenting it as a global language that transcends borders and cultures. Through thoughtfully curated menus, live cooking demonstrations, and themed events, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur will help bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, offering international tourists an authentic taste of Malaysia in a refined setting. These efforts underscore the importance of culinary diplomacy in shaping perceptions and encouraging repeat visits of its corporate, international M.I.C.E. and leisure travellers to the hotel.

Collaboration With Jabatan Warisan Negara Malaysia

Central to this celebration is an inspired partnership with Jabatan Warisan Negara Malaysia. Through this collaboration, the Shangri-La culinary team immersed themselves in the study of heritage recipes, guided by the expertise of Dato’ Chef Ismail Ahmad, the Head of Heritage Cuisine. Intensive workshops and tasting sessions, launched earlier this year, ensured that every dish is crafted with authentic local ingredients and time-honoured techniques, preserving the true spirit of Malaysian flavours.

This Malaysian Heritage Cuisine initiative is also proudly supported by Tourism Malaysia and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture Malaysia, underscoring its national significance. By positioning traditional cuisine at the heart of its hospitality, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur not only honours the nation’s culinary legacy, but also serves as a bridge between culture and the world’s discerning travellers. Guests are invited to savour the colourful stories and rich tastes that define Malaysia, all within the elegant setting of this iconic hotel.

Malaysian Heritage Menu Is Now Available At Shangri-La KL

Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur now features Malaysian Heritage Menu, available at The Lobby Lounge. This thoughtfully designed offering pays tribute to the nation’s rich culinary legacy, inviting guests to savour timeless local favourites in an elegant setting.

A Malaysian-style breakfast is served daily from 7am to 11am, featuring à la carte selections that include UNESCO-recognised dishes such as Nasi Lemak Bungkus, Roti Canai, Kaya Toast with Soft-Boiled Eggs, and Nyonya Curry Laksa. Traditional beverages such as Teh Tarik complete the experience, delivering a comforting start to the day.

Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur: A 40-Year Legacy Of Luxury, Heritage & Hospitality

From 11am to 9.30pm, the all-day dining menu continues the celebration of heritage with signature dishes including Sup Tulang, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Malaysian Satay, Char Kuey Teow, Laksa Utara, Nasi Dagang Terengganu, Ketupat Palas with Rendang Tok, and Nasi Goreng Kampung. An assortment of well-loved local snacks, such as Roti Jala with Chicken and Potato Curry, Colek Buah-Buahan, Cucur Udang, Cucur Nyiur and Serawa Durian Pulut, adds a nostalgic touch to the menu. A comprehensive beverage list features local favourites including Kopi Susu, Kopi O, Kopi C, Teh Susu, Teh O, Teh C, Cham, MILO Ais, Teh Halia, and Malaysian Syrup, offering something to suit every palate.

The Malaysian Heritage Menu will be available throughout this year and into 2026, to welcome the forthcoming Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign. It is a heartfelt invitation to both local guests and international visitors to experience authentic flavours, warm service, and the enduring charm of Malaysian hospitality.
