Bengaluru’s Skyline Just Got a Side of Dim Sum – Michelin-Selected Chef Ng Meng Loong Arrives at Four Seasons

Bengaluru: If you’ve been longing for dim sum that does more than just satisfy a craving — that folds in heritage, finesse, and a bit of that “oh my god, this is art” magic — then clear your calendar. Because for ten days only, Far & East at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru is transforming into a dim sum dreamscape, and Michelin-selected mastery is on the menu.

From April 18th to 27th, Bengaluru welcomes Chef Ng Meng Loong, the culinary genius behind Yun House at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur, a restaurant that’s held its place on the Michelin Select list for three years straight. And he’s bringing his signature folds, flavours, and finesse to the 21st floor of Four Seasons Bengaluru, where the city’s skyline becomes the backdrop to a seriously elevated lunch or dinner.

This isn’t just another pop-up. It’s a celebration of one of China’s most intricate culinary traditions, brought to life by a man who knows dim sum down to its molecular balance. Chef Ng is no stranger to the global culinary stage — as a Culinaire Malaysia Committee Member and a decorated judge at international competitions, his technique is as precise as it is poetic. Every dumpling he touches is a story — one told through texture, temperature, and the gentle twist of a steamer’s lid.

For those familiar with Far & East, the Asian brasserie already has a reputation for stunning views, slick service, and a refined take on pan-Asian favourites. But this dim sum takeover is in a league of its own. Imagine delicate har gow, their skins translucent enough to let the rosy shrimp glow through. Or silken parcels of pork and truffle, warmed by bamboo steamers and seasoned with a whisper of soy and heritage. It’s the kind of menu where each bite is an exhale — from the world, from the week, from whatever ordinary thing you were eating before.

And let’s not skip over the setting. Perched on the 21st floor, Far & East offers sweeping, cinematic views of Bengaluru — and now, with steam rising and baskets being unveiled one by one, the experience is nothing short of theatrical. Whether you’re a seasoned dim sum devotee or someone who still calls it “dumplings, but fancy,” this is the perfect introduction to a cuisine where detail reigns supreme.

The best part? It’s a rare chance to experience Michelin-level dim sum without a passport. No red-eye to Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur — just a reservation, an appetite, and maybe a silk shirt to match the vibe.

As General Manager Biswajit Chakraborty puts it, “This showcase is a testament to Four Seasons’ global promise of excellence.” And it shows — in the folds of the dumplings, the balance of the broths, and the sheer beauty of every plate that leaves the kitchen.

Priced at INR 5,000++ for two, this experience is more than worth the splurge. It’s a once-in-a-season kind of dining moment — indulgent, intimate, and utterly unforgettable.

So go ahead — loooong for dim sum. And then, head to Four Seasons Bengaluru to make that longing deliciously real.
