Options – The Edge – Sushi master Masaaki Miyakawa and his elite culinary team from Tokyo’s acclaimed Sushi Shin is having a 10-day pop-up at EQ Kuala Lumpur’s Kampachi restaurant. Guests can enjoy an authentic omakase menu designed by chef Miyakawa, whose eponymous restaurant in Sapporo boasts three Michelin stars, until November 10.

The Malaysian Reserve – If the name EQ seems familiar, it’s because the site it’s built on used to house Hotel Equatorial. As part of its ongoing Nipah Delight dining promotion, the hotel is offering buffet lunch at a steal. I, for one, found it worth the money if you’re going for a buffet.

Malaysian artist En. Nizam Abdullah’s newest sculptures now grace the porte cochère of Equatorial Plaza, the latest in a prominent collection showcasing local artistic talent.

South China Morning Post – Shoot up to the 51st floor of luxury hotel EQ and let the dazzling new rooftop bar that is Blue take your breath away. Here, evening feels infinite, like stepping into a sky full of stars; a magical effect created by the ceiling’s twinkling lights splayed across flanking mirrors and the city’s glittering skyline. The view afforded by the open-air lounge is mesmerising, boasting sweeping vistas of the KL Tower and Petronas Twin Towers on either end.

Harper’s Bazaar Malaysia – The newly renovated EQ marks another milestone for the Hotel Equatorial Group. Proudly standing at 52-storeys in the heart of the city, the 440-key establishment exudes class and luxury without losing its familiar charm and neighbourliness that is well-loved by Malaysians throughout the years.
