Following
its huge success as London's first fine dining Malaysian restaurant,
the critically acclaimed Awana is taking its cuisine to the people of
China and again will set the precedence becoming Beijing's first
Malaysian restaurant.
Awana, Beijing
will be located in the suitably cosmopolitan Lady Street, popular for
its trendy bars and restaurants, thus following the successful UK
formula where the restaurant is located in Chelsea's Sloane Avenue in
London. The Malaysian High Commission is located just a five minute
walk from the restaurant.
Awana Group,
whose London venture gained an AA rosette only 5 months after
opening, will be launching the Beijing restaurant on 10th May 2007. A
grand opening evening will be hosted by Malaysian-born owner Eddie
Lim with celebrities such as Jimmy Choo and Michelle Yeoh, star of
'Memoirs of a Geisha' and forthcoming blockbuster 'Sunshine' in
attendance.
Awana,
Beijing, launches at a very exciting time, coinciding with Visit
Malaysia Year 2007 celebrating 50 years of Malaysian independence.
Owner Eddie Lim comments, "This is the first of a number of
international openings for Awana - there will be several within the
next two years. It is our very timely way of celebrating Visit
Malaysia and taking this wonderfully diverse cuisine to the global
market."
The menu at
Awana, Chelsea features traditional Malaysian dishes with a selection
of modern interpretations which have inspired diners in London.
