A discovery of Malaysian cuisine begins at Lai Foong, one of the best addresses on Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown. Garnished with generous heapings of clams, its enormous bowls of noodles, with their tantalizing aromas of rice wine and ginger, are served piping hot. Comfort food at its best, they are a wonderful complement to the richness of Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2017.

The center of Petaling Jaya teems with numerous mamaks, the street-facing stalls that are typical of Southeast Asia. Nasi Lemak Utara has earned a reputation for its generous meat and offal dishes, like the traditional nasi lemak, rice cooked in coconut milk served with roasted peanuts, marinated vegetables, simmered chicken and hard-boiled eggs. Its flavors are a perfect counterpoint to Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2019’s rich, complex aromas of jasmine and grapefruit.

For the past sixty years, Mun Wah Hokkien Mee has been dishing up its famous Hokkien noodles, to the delight of street food lovers around Jalan Maharajarela. Served with a generous portion of crisp bacon and pork liver, this deliciously regressive recipe becomes all the more delectable when balanced against the characteristic roundness of G d’Estournel 2021.

Girl & Mommy Curry Mee
33 Jalan Emas 55200 Kuala Lumpur Kuala Lumpur

Located in Chan Sow Lin, Girl & Mommy Curry Mee is known for its curry noodles with clams and roasted pork rind. The fried pork skin captures the rich, spicy flavors of the curry broth in a mouth-watering dish that is even more satisfying when matched with the complexity of a Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2019.

Off Jalan Pasar

Off Jalan Pasar in the Pudu district is a wonderful spot to try bak kut teh, an herb broth with pork that is considered to be one of the best Chinese dishes in Malaysia. At Off Jalan Pasar, the recipe, which has been passed down from generation to generation since 1971, will find lovely depth when enjoyed with the energy of the 2020 vintage of G d’Estournel. The signature dish is also available in a not-to-be-missed version cooked in a clay pot.

Char Siew Yoong
Jl. Pudu Ulu 23, Cheras 56100 Kuala Lumpur 

Char Siew Yoong is undoubtedly the best address for connoisseurs of char siew, a dish of tender, juicy marbled pork that is marinated in a sweet, syrupy sauce before being barbecued. The fiery vigor of G d’Estournel 2019 is ideal for balancing the recipe’s sweet and salty flavors.
