When you have a Japanese Omakase, each meal tells a story of tradition, culinary artistry and seasonal flavours. It is crafted with finesse in the hands of the chef.
Nestled within the Parkroyal Collection Kuala Lumpur in Bukit Bintang KL, Sushi Qubey welcomes diners to enter into a culinary journey that’s filled with the elegance – Omakase. It offers a Zen-inspired design, featuring wooden panels, soft grey walls and autumn-themed crimson leaves that beckon invitingly, enhanced by warm lighting. Both the general dining area and private rooms are available for reservations.
Each dish is expertly crafted to highlight the natural flavours of ingredients flown in directly from Japan. From the precise slicing of sashimi to the delicate seasoning of nigiri, every element is executed with intention. In addition to ocean delicacies and the freshest seasonal ingredients, there are also premium selections such as A5 Miyazaki Wagyu, Foie Gras Steak with Uni, and other exquisite surprises.
The curated omakase menus crafted by the chefs are available in four distinct sets to suit every taste. Whether for lunch or dinner, each set promises a unique tasting experience. The lunch omakase menu ranges from RM168 to RM328, while the dinner sets are priced between RM188 and RM468 per seating. For those seeking the extraordinary, the RM688 dinner menu offers a personalised bespoke experience.
Sushi Qubey also offers weekday Teishoku Lunch Sets for a casual midday meal. Starting at RM55, there are choices like the Grilled Hokke Set, Sashimi Set, Sashimi and Tempura Set, Nigiri Set, or the Qubey Gozen Set, perfect for two. A la carte add-ons are also available, featuring a selection of premium dishes.
Sake makes the perfect pairing, with the restaurant offering an extensive carafe menu. With premium options starting at just RM50 per 100ml, there is something to suit every palate and occasion.
We had the RM328 menu, with exquisite offerings such as engawa sushi, Japanese cockle (twice the size of ours!), seared foie gras tuna sushi, uni on raw tuna sushi and abalone steak with mash and truffle. As an added treat, our review included a Hairy crab sushi as that was in season. It was a most delightful lunch, ensconced from the city noise and crowd outside, as we sipped sake and savoured the curated menu. What’s great is that Sushi Queby is quite affordable, especially for those on a budget and trying omakase for the first time.

Tiger Beer welcomed the Year of the Snake in bold style with the launch of its ‘Together We Roar’ campaign at Pavilion Bukit Jalil recently. The event set the tone for a festive season and celebration with a vibrant lineup of experiences.
The atmosphere at Piazza, Pavilion Bukit Jalil was of pure excitement as consumers brought their pack to ‘Tiger Town’. Visitors enjoyed live performances, curated in partnership with Tǎng Píng, the popular Live Cafe Bar, along with immersive experiences that included music performances by popular artists 3P and Jeryl Lee, craft booths and interactive activities.
Attendees were put to the test with a series of activities in order to win exclusive Tiger merchandise.
“Each year, Tiger celebrates the courageous journey of progress and connection, recognising that the support of fellow tigers makes every milestone significant,” said Willemijn Sneep, Marketing Director of Heineken Malaysia Berhad. “This year, we are proud to offer experiences that honour these connections and inspire our consumers to celebrate those who uplift them along the way. We cannot wait to see how everyone roars together in the Year of the Snake.”
Adding to the excitement was the unveiling of the exclusive Tiger x atmos x ButNotReally collection. Members of the media were treated to an exclusive preview of what was in store for consumers.
The streetwear collaboration celebrates the shared journey of brands that defied the odds.

This partnership has resulted in a collection that honours their bold roots while pushing the future of fashion forward. The limited-edition pieces are available for purchase at participating atmos stores (Sunway Pyramid, Mid Valley Megamall, and Genting Sky Avenue).
Tiger invites consumers to join in on the digital activation by using Tiger’s ‘Add Yours’ template on Instagram Stories to post pictures of themselves and their crew over the years, reflecting on their shared progress and journey.
