“The name “Melting Pot” connotes variety” explains our host and indeed one would readily agree that it would aptly apply where we are sitting. The Melting Pot Café is Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s signature restaurant which has a seating capacity for 216 and briefly comprises an intimate dining area and bar lounge. There are also open “action stations” for those who enjoy watching their food being prepared.

The fact that it was a slightly rainy day in Kuala Lumpur meant that the crowd was rather subtle and one could unwind comfortably watching the rest of the world go by. Located slightly off the façade of the hotel, Melting Pot overlooks the hive of activity that is Jalan Sultan Ismail a walk away from the best of KL club scene.

But it isn’t that view that brought us here tonight. Rather, it is the two guest chefs specially flown over from Pattaya, Thailand. Chefs Boonsom Wongchareon and Nopparat Pianpisai are here to entice diners with an array of Thai cuisine from their years of experience in the industry.
