Ren is the latest addition to Suria KLCC’s smorgasbord of culinary delights! Much thought has been put into its moniker with its name is derived from the Mandarin Rén which means ‘people’. Its logo featuring a dumpling cleverly has the restaurant’s name in Mandarin as its “roof” while the dumpling itself symbolizes ‘Home’. The restaurant aims at bringing its diners a unique ‘home away from home’ dining experience so patrons can feast on traditional Chinese cuisine while enjoying the restaurant’s sleek, modern interior. Ren’s menu specialises in pork-free Shanghai and Xinjiang cuisine specially prepared by chefs from Xinjian, China. Here’s what to look out for when you’re at Ren.
PEKING DUCK
Ren’s signature dish is its Peking Duck. The restaurant has mastered the art of the heritage dish, employing new, innovative culinary methods, ensuring that the roasted ducks are plump with sweet, juicy flesh while its golden skin crackles with crunch and flavour. An added bonus is that Ren’s ducks are low in fat which would delight health-conscious diners.
