Yellow Fin Horse is a dining establishment set amid the hustle and bustle of KL Chinatown. Located within Else Retreats, a Hilton Small Luxury Hotels portfolio, Yellow Fin Horse focuses on fine produce combined with primitive cooking techniques such as open-fire grilling and fermentation. 

​

Upon entering the restaurant, the entire length of the facade is lined with textured frosted glass blocks that instantly evoke a sense of curiosity.

​

The concept explores the juxtaposition of a refined texture such as metal and leather, combined with indigenous finishes such as coconut husk, banana paper, and rattan. These materials combination essentially represent the spirit of the restaurant that emphasizes primitive preparation and cooking.

"The incorporation of natural stone and wood materials fosters a sense of harmony with the surroundings, echoing the hotel's design vocabulary while establishing its own identity."
