FUNNOW Malaysia has launched GastroMonth Kuala Lumpur and Penang 2023, a celebration of culinary delights in June.

The inaugural month-long event will feature more than 40 establishments from the Michelin Guide Kuala Lumpur and Penang 2023, ranging from One Michelin Star to Bib Gourmand and Michelin Selected.

GastroMonth Kuala Lumpur and Penang 2023 sees these restaurants offering special menus and food experiences curated especially for this culinary celebration, including Malaysia’s four One Michelin Star restaurants.

Of the One Michelin Star restaurants, in Kuala Lumpur, DC by Darren Chin is presenting a unique immersive omakase experience at his newly launched Cellar space.

The chef will craft meals from the freshest ingredients with French flair and his own culinary style.

While at Dewakan, Darren Teoh and team proffer never-sold-before seats at their exclusive and elusive test kitchen.

Up north in George Town, Penang, Restaurant au Jardin promises a meal to remember with a special “Best of The Year” menu. And at Auntie Gaik Lean’s Old School Eatery, a Peranakan sampling platter like no other promises to entice.

Benson Chang, general manager of FunNow Malaysia said, “With the launch of the first GastroMonth Kuala Lumpur and Penang, the aim is to support our food and beverage community, provide more accessible culinary experiences to Malaysians, and further establish Malaysia as a gastronomic destination on the international map.
