The comfort of an open fire, soothing sounds of crackling
firewood and richness of timber epitomizes the ambiance of a traditional
Japanese hearth.Together
with the reminiscent feel of coarse stone and roughened iron cookware,these elements set
the atmosphere for the new Kampachi at Troika, Kuala Lumpur. The
iconic restaurant by Equatorial specializing in sophisticated Japanese cuisine,
expands its prestigious local brand with this new prominent location.
Designers
united contemporary modernity with the nostalgic past by maintaining the
existing concrete elements together with the irregular lines of the building
and complementing it with materials recycled from the Equatorial hotel, where
40 years ago the first Kampachi restaurant opened.
Upon
entering, both Sushi bar and Service bar uses solid Suar timber counter tops
against textured stone fascia to be the reminiscent of Japanese teapot. These characteristics are
carried throughout the restaurant. Venturing further into the space, guests
experience the main highlight. The feature screen presents a photo taken by the
owner during a trip to Japan providing a fragmented view of a temple rooftop.
While looking above, a cloud of customized glass pendants twinkles throughout
the void space and reflects on the mirrored louver ceiling creating a magical
impression. Photographs of Japanese culinary works immerse the kitchen with the
dining space by allowing guests to discover the sophisticated process of
creating unforgettable flavours.
Conserving
memories from the past and merging them with contemporary surroundings,
Kampachi aims to be the new high-end dining experience spot of Kuala Lumpur.
