About Kuki
Kuki doesn't reach for seitan or mock meat to make a point — it lets a charred cabbage wedge or a slow-cooked jackfruit stand on its own technical merit. The kitchen works almost entirely with produce sourced from Cameron Highlands and smallholder farms in Selangor, leaning on fermentation, smoking, and reduction to build the savoriness usually borrowed from stock or fish sauce. The room in TTDI seats under forty, with an open pass that lets you watch char happen in real time. It's the rare vegan tasting menu that reads as a chef's genuine cooking style rather than an omnivore menu with the protein removed.

The smoked beetroot alone justified the trip across town — deep, almost meaty from the fermentation, nothing like the sweet roasted beets you get everywhere else.
Response from Kuki
Thank you Priya — that dish takes six hours of smoking and we're glad it shows. See you again soon.

Genuinely inventive plant cooking, though the tasting menu pacing dragged a bit between the noodle course and dessert.
