This restaurant named after the famous German sausage is the delicatessen du jour for everything wiener, be it lamb, chicken, or beef. To tempt you further, here are five reasons to slide by this place.
1. Freshly prepared artisanal sausages
If there is one thing founder and head chef Logan Terence Lopez values the most in his cooking, it’s serving customers the freshest meal they will ever have.
As such you won’t find him or his team using any ingredient that has been kept frozen for long. The dips and sauces are prepared in-house.
All the gourmet sausages and meat products used in the menu are freshly made in the kitchen while the greens and seafood are bought early in the day.
2. Everything not made in-house is mostly locally sourced
Having been trained in various culinary institutions around the world, Chef Lopez prides himself on being able to recreate much-loved international cuisine using locally obtained ingredients.
A strong proponent of the local food industry, Lopez gets his meat and vegetables from local butchers and markets, while the seafood sourcing is kept regional, only going as far as Indonesia. Even the bread that accompanies his dishes is baked by Berjaya University patisserie students.
3. Inspiring décor & a slide for adults
There may not be any windows for natural lighting or al fresco dining options here, but Wurst more than makes up for it by crafting an underground haven for meat lovers.
You will be greeted by neon light sausages in millennial pink and be seated in one of the chic chairs that perfectly tie in with the restaurant’s 70s retro chic vibe.
Chef Logan was inspired to create this ambience after watching the movie La La Land. This is his version of a hidden jazz club.
There is even an adult-sized slide to satisfy your inner child. Staircases are so passé, so literally drop into the restaurant directly from the lobby of MOV Hotel, under which WURST is located.
4. Sausages, meat, & cheese for sale
As a delicatessen, Wurst sells a wide range of sausages and other meat products that are recommended by the Chef. Racks of new world wines and other curated ingredients are on display too, to complement the meat you can purchase.
5. Under the helm of a visionary chef
Chef Lopez is a familiar name in the Kuala Lumpur food scene, having been associated with some of the city’s leading eateries. He recently helmed seafood Mecca Bait and the Intermark’s The Bowling Club.
Wurst is his latest endeavour, driven by his passion for sausages and serving people more protein than carbohydrates.
