Third Culture Dining

Wonderful dining experience. We had our anniversary dinner here. Excellent service and attention to details. The waiter was attentive enough to serve our meals in sharing portions. The aged duck is wonderful, so tender and flavourful. Paired with the duck fat potato strips, it is a must try! The sturgeon belly was so special that it almost tasted like "Siew York". Love it. The 75% dark chocolate tarte was an excellent ending for our meal. Definitely worth a revisit! Maybe I will try thier tasting menu next time. Do make a reservation as seats are very limited here.

The lite lunch was an amazing experience. Each course had its unique touch that combines the styles of Malaysian and French cuisine. I would also recommend the assorted bread, love the tom yam mousse. Thank you Chef Sue Ching!

A true hidden gem. From the first course of pumpkin soup and garlic toast, you sense a knowledgeable and deliberate hand behind the dish that exuded subtlety and finesse. The photos of her experience with the world masters only confirm that you are in such masterful hands. The duck had a slightly firm texture that cut easily, paired well with a sweet tangy glaze. The mashed potato was a small portion but the rich flavors made up for it. The watercress salad provided the herbal foil to cleanse the palate after each bite of the rich sweet duck. Not a single morsel was left at the end. The Seabass had a firmer than usual texture due to some aging, according to the chef. My partner could not stop being effusive about his dish especially the crispy skin and lemony butter sauce. Like me, he devoured every drop on his plate. I finished with a scoop of chocolate ice cream that had dark chocolate notes that sang to me. My partner seemed satisfied by his vanilla version. I walked out of the place riding on the lingering sensations from this meal, which a good refined french-inspired one should carry. The chef has a clear vision, and I see this place going far. A small place with only 4 tables, hence, reservation is strongly suggested.

We had a very lovely dinner here last night. The food is so fresh and naturally flavorful!! I ordered the mushroom 🍄‍🟫 pasta , wow , the dish is simple yet exquisite. The steak is cooked to perfection. The home made sauces and butter are awesome and not overpowering. The team is friendly and the chef, Sue is so passionate that I can feel her love for food and cooking 😋. It’s a gem ! ! ^^

We went to Third Culture Dining last week for my birthday dinner. I chose this place after reading Malaysia Airlines’ in-flight booklet, which featured "12 reasons to love Malaysia." Third Culture Dining was listed as one of them. I was especially excited to try it because the chef is a woman who trained in France and the U.S.—and I’m currently from Penang, so I couldn’t wait to experience it for myself. The food and service were absolutely amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly, especially to my children. My kids are very picky eaters, but they finished everything I ordered for them—which has never happened at any other restaurant, not even fine dining. But at Third Culture Dining, they loved it! My husband and I had such a great time chatting with Chef Sue Ching. She personally came to our table and explained each dish to us. It made the whole experience even more special. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy these amazing dishes again!

Review: Third Culture Dining – A Cozy French Culinary Experience Third Culture Dining offers an intimate and refined dining experience, set in a beautifully decorated house that exudes warmth and charm. The set dinner is thoughtfully curated, showcased Chef Sue’s expertise and passion for French cuisine. The standout of the evening was undoubtedly the sturgeon, which could very well be their signature dish. Each course reflected Chef Sue’s many years of experience, combining classic techniques with a modern touch. With its cozy ambiance and meticulously prepared dishes, Third Culture Dining is a wonderful spot for those looking to indulge in French cuisine in a relaxed and inviting setting.

I went with two friends from out of town, both discerning diners, for dinner. The service & particularly the food was excellent. There is a wide selection of courses covering pretty much all tastes. I would describe the food as mainly French based but with many international & local influences. For me the Hokkaido Scallops & the duck, locally sourced, were delicious. Corkage is very reasonable so you can bring your favourite wine if you choose. A very easy recommendation & I look forward to returning.
