About Dancing Fish - Bangsar Shopping Centre
Dancing Fish has run its original Kuala Lumpur restaurant on the third floor of Bangsar Shopping Centre for well over a decade, with press coverage of the location dating back to at least 2012, built around a menu that blends Malay and Indonesian cooking under what the group calls Malay-Indo cuisine. The restaurant takes its name from its most recognisable dish, whole fish fried and presented with a garnish that appears to move on the plate, though the wider menu ranges well beyond that single item into curries, grilled meats and Nusantara-influenced small plates.
The Bangsar branch, at Lot T120 and T121 on the third floor of the shopping centre on Jalan Maarof, has built a following partly on the strength of a Michelin Guide Malaysia mention, an unusual distinction for a restaurant in this style of Malay-Indonesian cooking rather than fine dining. Its signature dancing fish is typically served with curry keluak, a Peranakan-influenced black nut sauce, and the kitchen also turns out an appetiser platter, udang sambal hitam Madura, tahu telur, gulai pucuk paku and buntut belado, alongside a rotating list of mocktails built around tropical fruit. The restaurant has periodically refreshed its menu over the years while keeping the core dishes that built its reputation intact.
The Bangsar Shopping Centre outlet is open daily from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM. Its correct contact number is +60 17-235 1601, taken directly from the restaurant group's own website; the number previously on file used the wrong country code and did not reach this branch. The outlet can also be reached by email at [email protected], and further menu detail is available at dancingfish.asia. The group operates a second Kuala Lumpur-area branch at The Campus in Ampang, and has used the Bangsar location as its base for private events, celebrations and larger group bookings given the venue's size within the shopping centre.
