The Kitchen Table
Who:
Marcus Low & Tan Mei Wan
When:
June 2013
Why:
Marcus and Mei Wan returned
to Malaysia from their respective
culinary sojourns abroad with a single
and shared vision. After seeing people
coming together over food at a table,
they pledged to have a hand in making
that experience a memorable one. The
Kitchen Table is a platform towards
their dream of a bakery and restaurant.

The first meal served atThe Kitchen
Table.
Raw snapper sashimi with lime
juice, braised pork belly and banana
tarte tartine with homemade vanilla
ice-cream. We wanted to showcase
Malaysia’s local produce through a
blend of comforting and contemporary
dishes that resonated with Malaysians.
There is a fire in your kitchen. You save …

Each dish is a challenge because it has
to be delicious and consistent every
single time. We always seek that level of
perfection. So the challenge is making
a dish so delicious that you’d want to
eat it every day! And also making sure
that our food resonates with people on
a deeper level. They should feel good
during and after the meal, like they’re
at a home away from home.
If theKitchenTablewere a book, itwould
be titled…
Can we say that is to be confirmed?
It would go back to people and
relationships. Food is the canvas to
recapture that essence. The table is
where everything happens.
Your favouritemeal of thedayandwhat
will youhave?
Dinner. Fried chicken and a plate of soft
and chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Thedish that best representsTheKitchen
Table.
Fried chicken and chocolate chip
cookies. These are what we would
make for ourselves and proudly serve.
We bring a different perspective to
familiar food because we want people
to associate it with The Kitchen Table.
So we use buckwheat for a light, crisp
crust on the chicken which we serve
on a wooden board with a trio of sweet
soy sauce with garlic and ginger, chilli
sauce, and lemongrass and shallot
cream. The chocolate chip cookies are
reminiscent of everyone’s childhood.
Crisp on the outside and soft on the
inside, they are every chocolate lover’s
dream.
Your best advice for novicehosts.
Be yourself and have fun. Then your
genuineness and authenticity will come
across. That’s why we keep our food
simple. We’re not selling a product, but
who we are.
