Easter egg hunts and outdoor picnics are halted this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but this also serves as a chance to spend quality time with your loved ones at home over hot cross buns, chocolates and a restaurant-worthy meal. Enlist the expertise of the chefs from these following restaurants to put together an egg-cellent dining spread.
Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur
Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur’s colourful chocolates would please the children, as well as the child at heart. The hotel’s sugary delights come in colourful forms, taking a cutesy shape of a rabbit and a hen — all filled with housemade Malay dark and milk chocolates. White chocolates are also available in a box set.
Chocolates from RM58. Available until Apr 15. Purchase from MOKL’s online gourmet store and get them delivered here.
