With the December festivities upon us, there is no better time than now to pop a bottle of bubbly and celebrate a year well spent. If you are in the mood to party it up, Moët & Chandon and Upper House KL will ensure all your toasting is done in style with the House of Moët & Chandon pop-up which is taking over the restaurant until the end of the month.
“Moët & Chandon has always been synonymous with life’s most special moments, from weddings to reunions, triumphs to new beginnings. Here in Malaysia, we are honoured to have been part of so many cherished celebrations,” says Patrick Madendjian, managing director of Moët Hennessy Diageo Malaysia and Singapore.
The rooftop space has been transformed into a Parisian dreamscape, complete with dazzling décor to usher in the cheery mood. At the gifting booth, guests may explore the 2024 Holiday collection comprising the Brut Impérial and Rosé Impérial varieties in special gift boxes. Designed by French artist Margot Reverdy, the packaging showcases golden grapes, vines and leaves that reference the beauty of nature and the Champagne vines protected under the brand’s agroecology project, Natura Nostra. As it is the season of giving, each bottle purchased comes with unique gifts.

While here, make sure to swing by the postcard station to write Christmas greetings that the maison will then deliver to your loved ones. Try your luck at the immersive gachapon corner where mystery prizes await in white-and-gold spheres. The must-see feature, however, is the Eiffel Tower centrepiece on the outdoor terrace that lights up against the city skyline at dusk. Constructed with more than 200 empty champagne bottles, the structure is a token of celebration and happy times spent with great company.
A proper jamboree is not complete without good food, and chef Raymond Tham of Beta and Skillet KL has put together a curated menu to pair splendidly with a fizzy glass or two. Fusing the classic Christmas flavours with punchy Malaysian nuances, the dishes are accented by seasonal ingredients such as kulim, yam and cincalok, and prepared with traditional French culinary techniques.
