Newly opened Palazzo Viva, Bangsar Kuala Lumpur

A one-of-a-kind gourmet casual dining experience has arrived in the heart of the trendy Bangsar in Kuala Lumpur. With its all in one dining options and a wide variety of a food and drinks interchanging daily from breakfast to lunch and dinner, Palazzo Viva is no doubt the place to be if one is looking for a unique dining experience.

 It's grand launch on last Monday greeted the guests with an interesting array of welcome refreshments. A variety of fresh tapas and canapes, such as beef tartare with mango yolk sauce, black olive, spinach salad and potato crisp; hot ricotta with cherry tomato, aubergines, basil and tomato sauce; chicken with mango and cucumber salsa; and eggs carbonara with beef bacon and parmesan sauce were served either hot or cold respectively. These tapas and canapes are also available during normal operating hours and the choices changes everyday. There was also an assorted range of gourmet confectionary, which were prepared fresh and exclusively for the evening. Palazzo Viva further introduced their specialty cocktails & mocktails to their guests during that evening.

Mr. Jay Lee, the Director of Palazzo Viva giving his speech.

Mr. Jay Lee, the Director of Palazzo Viva graduated from University of Melbourne, majoring in Mechanical Engineering & Management. He is also the Business Management Director & Head of Design in S.Kian Seng Group of Companies (SKS). One cannot help but to wonder how did a Mechanical Engineer/ Business Development Director / Head of Design ended up in attempting to break through the F&B industry. Mr. Jay Lee says it lies in the sights and experience that he had gathered throughout the years in F&B related businesses. What he learned inspired him to introduce a unique dining concept to Malaysia's F&B industry. Excellent dining and entertainment experience does not depend solely on the excellence of the cuisine, but the ambience as well.

The concept of Palazzo Viva differs from most restaurants in such a way that its ambience and menu changes throughout the day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Imagine dining in Palazzo Viva for breakfast then returning again for dinner, only to feel as if you had stepped in a different place. 

Jay proudly introduced his team of experienced culinary chefs; chef Andrea & Luigi. The co-owner master pastry chef, Chef Denis Dianin, had acquired the AMPI (Academia Maestri Pasticceri Italiani) award, which is equivalent to a 3 star Michelin award in the confectionary world. An interesting point to note, Chef Denis majored in Robotics Engineering at Marconi University Italia. During the course of his studies, he developed a passion in baking, which led to Chef Denis pursing a career as a pastry chef.
