YOU may get lost in Plaza Arkadia like we did, but you can’t miss the striking entrance of KC & Co, a modern Peranakan restaurant. It’s a life-size wall mural of three curvy Nyonya women in their colourful sarong kebaya.

KC stands for “kamcheng”, a Hokkien phrase for close-knit ties with family and friends. But it’s also a collaboration brand from The Kamcheng, a similar Peranakan restaurant in Malacca, headed by chef Paul Chia whose Peranakan roots and culinary skills now drive KC & Co in Arkadia, Desa Park City in Kuala Lumpur.
