The 9ine by Jackie Wong recently opened its doors on Kek Chuan Road in Penang. Amid much glamour and splendor at its grand opening last night, we savored an eight-course dinner around the flavors of Modern European cuisine.
Its pre-war colonial structure exudes a warm and happy welcome, offering several dining sections. The ground floor is for walk-in diners, while winding up the wooden staircase to its upper floor will reveal a great place to hold celebrations. This versatile space can be arranged in a variety of configurations to suit the guests.
As the tasting menu was exclusively crafted in conjunction with Moet & Chandon Champagne, it is unsurprising that the champagnes would be an integral part of the cuisines. Guests were treated to a dizzying flow of Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial along with Moet & Chandon Ice Imperial.
Chef Jackie Wong crafted a tasting menu in line with the opening of his restaurant, and the dishes were immaculately paired with Moet & Chandon Champagne and Terrazas Reserva Chardonnay. The chef sought to highlight the artistic restructuring of modern European cuisines with a touch of Asian flourish.
