The Grand Opening of Nobu Kuala Lumpur

Nobu Kuala Lumpur put together a grand party to celebrate its official opening.The atmosphere was electric with the city’s elite turning up in full force; in anticipation of guests of honour Robert De Niro and Chef Nobu Matsuhisa.

The Hollywood veteran was bathed in flashes of light as he made his appearance with his wife Grace Hightower to perform the opening ceremony before being whisked away. Starstruck, guests in the likes of Carmen Chua, Dato' Bernard Chandran and Mukesh Valiram then feasted on canapés and drinks.
