Last month, my husband brought me to Thirty8 at Grand Hyatt Hotel to celebrate my birthday. It was quite a surprise because this was the first time he actually planned a birthday celebration for me.
Located strategically on the 38th floor of Grand Hyatt Hotel, directly opposite of Petronas Twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, Thirty8 is arguably one of the most recommended restaurant in Kuala Lumpur for Fine Dining.
"WOW!" I gasped as the lift door opens on the 39th floor. The sky lobby is circular in shape and boasts a great sweep of immense floor-to-ceiling windows that offers a completely uninterrupted 360 degree view of Kuala Lumpur skyline.
You will find the reception desks in one corner with several clusters of sofas scattered throughout the rest of the circular space, and of course, a breathtaking view that you will never forget. Everywhere we look, we were greeted by spectacular panoramic city views. Right before our eyes, the glorious Petronas Twin Towers stood against the night sky, illuminated in a bright white, which also makes a excellent backdrop for photo. You will find the iconic KL Towers far in the distance as well. It was so beautiful!
My husband had already made a reservation for us before our visit and I am glad that we were seated near the window with a great view of the Twin Towers. It is best that you make a reservation and request for a table facing the Petronas Twin Towers if you wish to get a good seat with a good view.
Roasted Wild Mushroom Soup with Thyme Croutons (RM 45)
Australian Black Angus Sirloin 250G (RM 185)
The steak is very lean because it has very little fats and connective tissue. Even though the meat is a little tough to eat, it is full of flavor.
Australian Lamb Chops & Green Asparagus (RM 212)
For both the steak and lamb chop, there were 8 different sauces to choose from - bearnaise, mushroom cream, peppercorn, Chimichurri - Parsley, Oregano, Garlic, Chili, Lemon and Olive Oil. I chose bearnaise to go with my steak and my husband chose mushroom cream.
Thirty8 Signature Cake
Overall, we have an enjoyable night at Thirty8. The service team was very professional, attentive and friendly. Even so, I feel that there are still room for improvement. It takes longer time for the food order to be served as every order is meticulously prepared and wonderfully crafted We probably waited for about 40 minutes for our food to be served.
Food wise, it was good, but not impressive and definitely not up to my expectation. Even though the portions size may look small, they were actually very filling. We were so full that we could not finish everything we ordered, even though we did not really ordered a lot.

Hi Ben,
DeleteYes, it is an awesome and memorable experience. All the money spent is worthwhile. But most importantly, I spent the day with the man I love the most.
