Luxury Dining Experiences at The RuMa Hotel and Residences
ATAS Restaurant
The star of the show? ATAS, a restaurant that is determined to deliver some of the best of what Malaysian cuisine has to offer.
Here, there’s something to look forward to at all mealtimes. Start your day on the right note by checking out the hearty Sunday brunch buffet. Melding both local and international flavours, the delectable and sizeable spread is a total crowd pleaser. If there is one thing you can’t miss, it’s the teh tarik station that will leave you wanting more.
The lunch service is also an area where the restaurant shines. The a la carte menu spans pages, and with the addition of set lunches—including festive ones, depending on the time of the year—it’s an easy decision for anyone’s lunchtime whims, so you can get right back to your day with no snags in your plan.
To get the best of what the kitchen has to offer, however, one must book a reservation at dinnertime. Bringing together the different facts of cultural flavours found here, the Rasa Malaysia menu is a showstopper that dishes out a balance between tradition and modernity.
Vegan options available.
The LIBRARI
Chic, light bites are always a great idea, especially when it’s taking place at this quiet and intimate alcove. Freshly-made breakfast plates and curated snacks and light meals are available here, but the true highlight at The Librari is the afternoon tea.
Dubbed Chapters of Heritage, the arrangement mirrors the hotel’s dedication toward representing local traditions through taste and presentation. Don’t miss the remarkable resemblance to a local game here. Served on a customised congkak, the afternoon tea introduces a touch of whimsy to the casual dining experience.
Complete with a handwashing ritual and kneel-down service, Chapters of Heritage combines a gastronomic symphony of savoury bites and sweet treats, including artisan creations made in collaboration with local partners.
SEVEN Lobby Bar
Fancy a killer tipple? SEVEN has you covered in that arena. Renowned as one of the best gin bars, it has received glowing reviews across the board. Between its unpretentious atmosphere and the impressive selection of gins—we’re talking 77—that’s sourced from all over the world, it’s no wonder that many feel at ease at this hideaway.
Both casual consumers and connoisseurs can appreciate the creations here. For the former, hand-crafted drinks that are guaranteed to please the tastebuds are always available. But if you want to up it a notch, there’s always the option for you to get inspired and play mixologist. The bar offers guests the opportunity to build their own drinks, allowing you to choose your gins, tonics, and botanicals.
SANTAI Pool Bar and Lounge
Last, but certainly not least, there’s SANTAI, a spot that is a much-welcomed refuge from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Despite The RuMa Hotel and Residences’ ideal central location, the lounge has managed to create a calming pocket that can practically achieve an idyllic effect much like an island escape could.
In the daytime, catch a tan poolside, go through a chapter or two of your latest read, or laze on the chaise lounge—all of the above activities can be paired with enticing snacks and thirst-quenching cocktails (and mocktails too!) to complete your urban vacation. And when the sun goes down, underneath the scintillating Kuala Lumpur skies and six floors above all the traffic noise, you can get settled in and unwind—with gorgeous liquid libations in hand, no less.
Menu-wise, it’s pretty extensive. From fresh tropical juice to its broad array of cocktails and wines, there is bound to be an option or two that will tickle your fancy. And if the menu doesn’t cut it, guests are welcomed to request the complete selection from the servers, and even order off-menu cocktails, tailored specifically to your tastes.
