Chinese New Year is just 2 weeks away. Everyone is already ushering and starting to prepare for Reunion dinner or gathering. This year CNY 2023 with Golden Phoenix at EQ KL is bringing us the classics. EQ brings back the legacy of
Golden Phoenix with food from its cherished menu archives.
Golden Phoenix restaurant has long held a reputation for culinary excellence since its inception in 1974.
Much like its mythical namesake, the restaurant has gained legendary status for its celebrated
Cantonese and Szechuan fare.
Chef Choy Sin Sang has been instrumental in continuing the Golden Phoenix legacy for many years. An
alumnus of Selangor Ching Wu School, Chef Choy studied the art of dim sum making at the Taiping Tea
House before working at his first hotel in 1957. He joined the original Equatorial Hotel in 1973, where he
has since ensured that the food from the Chinese kitchen is of the highest calibre and authenticity. It is
with great pride that EQ recreates the Golden Phoenix in all its glory every Lunar New Year.
This year, we invite you to savour a magnificent showcase of classic and beloved oriental creations with
a unique and contemporary twist.

Starting off the double boil soup perfectly. Simple nourishing, clean, mild herb taste to my liking.
Fried Rice had evolve to healthier level. I find this clever cooking as using okra, brown rice and the taste is subtle enough to bring a nice mild flavour journey
