The story
The name Ling Long, meaning “exquisite” or “intricate” in Chinese, sets the tone for this restaurant in Bukit Damansara. Every dish is meticulously crafted, reflecting a deep commitment to detail. The kitchen blends tradition with innovation, sourcing high-quality, seasonal ingredients from local farmers and fishermen while incorporating elements from around the world to enhance flavour profiles. The result is a refined, elegant dining experience that leaves a lasting impression.
At the helm is Chef de Cuisine Lucas Lam, a seasoned professional who has worked at prestigious restaurants in Singapore and Malaysia, including Restaurant Blanc at Macalister Mansion in Penang and Akar Dining in Kuala Lumpur, as well as Corner House and Sky On 57 at Marina Bay Sands. His passion for quality food and unwavering commitment to delivering unparalleled culinary experiences drive Ling Long’s distinctive take on gourmet Chinese cuisine.
Ling Long offers a course menu only, with lunch and dinner options. The menu changes with the seasons, and a selection of premium dishes may carry a surcharge. One standout highlighted in press coverage is the ceviche prawns, made with a tangy marinade and fu yu (fermented bean curd); guests can choose to sit at the bar to watch the kitchen action or at a table for more privacy. The restaurant’s earth-toned interior and contemporary design provide an ambiance that balances openness and intimacy.
Ling Long’s innovative French-Chinese cuisine earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction in the 2026 guide, a testament to its meticulous approach and the skilful hand of Chef Lucas. The restaurant continues to push boundaries, offering a sensory journey that honours Chinese heritage while embracing modern techniques.
