I've never understood the hype over Shook.Upon arrival, you'll be presented with a menu that is thicker than a PhD thesis, and you get the sense that they're just trying a little too hard just so they'll be able to claim that they serve "everything under the sun". Local cuisine, Japanese, European, steaks, etc. You name it, they've probably got it. Yet, NOTHING looks interesting enough to eat!The food then arrives, after an eon, and you find it is just ordinary. The servers are dismissive; I've noticed that they are only really attentive if they think you might be a titled or royal personae. Very pretentious. Actually, that pretty much sums up Shook. Pretentious, without delivering on the illusion of chic, exclusive and up-scale they try so hard to create. Then the bill arrives and you're left wondering if they secretly snuck diamond and gold chips into your food when you weren't looking, to justify the price. Be prepared to pay, easily, RM200 per person for a 3-course meal at Shook.
