COLONIAL CAFE

The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur, 5 Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin

TEL: 03 2785 8000 majestickl.com/colonial-cafe.html

Saunter past hotel’s famed orchid conservatory to seek out Colonial Café.

Decked out in black, white and cream tones, the charming restaurant makes it easy to imagine how British officers might have wined and dined in Old Malaya. The Colonial Sampler, which starts with delectable Hainanese chicken rice balls and ends with stodgy English trifle, is a clever means for customers to taste all of the restaurant’s signature dishes at once. Served in smaller portions than usual, prawn cocktail, Hainanese chicken chop, and honey-glazed cod fish are served in between your starter and dessert. Each course is perfectly timed, and any used cutlery is quickly removed and replaced by an observant service team. Where drinks are concerned, there’s something for everyone, from tipplers to teetotallers. In one of the most comprehensive beverage menus you’ll ever see, choose from English tea, Irish coffee, Champagne, Prosecco, American beer, South African wine, Speyside whisky, and much more. Online reservations are recommended via the restaurant’s website.
