Caviar, one of the most transcendent ingredients in fine cuisine, gets pride of place in a recently unveiled menu at Jeff’s Cellar at The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat. This dining room has, for some time now, become one of the most unique spots in Malaysia for dinner, and for good reason. Inside a dramatic limestone cave, where stalactites and stalagmites meet to form intricate rock columns, diners will experience an ambience like no other – with tinkling rock pools, soaring arias and a sense of the time’s vastness, amid a geological formation 260 million years in the making.

The latest gastronomic opus from Jeff’s Cellar is a culinary rarity, a full-course caviar menu (RM1,099 per person) where four different kinds of caviar are utilised across the five courses. All in, over 15 grammes of caviar – equivalent to half of a standard tin – are used in this decadent expression of the ingredient in focus, caviar. In keeping with the origins of Jeff’s Cellar as a perfect place to store wines, you may also find the perfect pairing to this meal in the restaurant’s well-stocked wine collection.
