AT KAMPACHI EQ, THE KNIVES ARE ALWAYS SHARP ENOUGH TO SLICE, DICE AND AMAZE THE DINER
Robb Report Malaysia – A certain calmness settles over the long, elegant dining counter of fine-grained wood as Chef Yusuke Ishigami begins preparations for the first of our seven-course kappou menu (from RM500 per person) at Kampachi EQ. Knives are laid out and sharpened, a pot of fish head stock bubbles on a hob, and a log of bamboo charcoal salt waits to be grated as we prepare for action to commence.
