中华饭店A heritage hall, a master chef, a Cantonese table
The KL & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall
Chinese Palace occupies the ground floor of the Kuala Lumpur & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall on Jalan Maharajalela. The building was completed in 1923 and is a gazetted heritage building.
Our dining room is modern, with nods to the Nanyang era, when Chinese migrants sailed to Malaya. Banana trees line the walls, wooden screens are shaped like the bow of a ship, and our logo is drawn from a sail.
Chef Frankie Woo
The menu was created by Chef Frankie Woo, who started cooking at 13 and went on to lead kitchens at five-star hotels and restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Singapore. In 1994 he represented Asia at a James Beard Foundation charity dinner in New York. He also founded Gu Yu Tien at Chulan Square, which pioneered Chinese fine-dining course menus in KL.
Chef Woo came out of retirement to create the menu for Chinese Palace and help design its kitchen. His motto is simple: “The secret is good soup.”
Day to day, the kitchen is led by Chef Sam Loo and a brigade of ten chefs.
