About Au Jardin
Chef Kim Hock Su's modern Malaysian cooking earns its #118 OAD Asia ranking through steady technique and regional precision rather than reinvention. The compact Jalan Timah room shifts from businesslike at lunch to intimate at dinner, with booking windows opening two to three weeks out. Solo diners should request counter seats; groups of four will find the space tight but serviceable.
Au Jardin is a Penang restaurant serving modern Malaysian cuisine under chef-owner Kim Hock Su. Beyond those core facts, public-facing specifics such as menu structure, pricing, service times, room size, booking lead times, and particular dishes should be confirmed directly with the restaurant before planning a visit.
