Connoisseurs at KLGCC: Restaurant Review

The Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club has no lack of fine-dining venues, but Connoisseurs might be the best bet for corporate events and celebrations.

Cigar Lounge

This sprawling outlet features a cigar lounge with sofas in which we’d easily lose ourselves …

Alfresco Dining

… plus an alfresco area that might serve as a vantage point for the leafy surroundings.

Wide Menu Choices

Connoisseurs’ menu is wide, with something for many budgets; RM38++ spaghetti set lunches to RM1,888 live Alaskan king crabs that weigh a whopping four kilograms.

Cheesy Baguette

Anchovies and melted cheese on thick French loaf bread. Savory simplicity.

Seafood

So many clams, of the Venus variety, brimming in creamy chowder.

Rice

Risotto, pretty well-prepared, with cherry tomatoes, olive oil and chili, topped with alarmingly phallic Dutch white asparagus.

Booze

Aussie Angus Sturt Ridge Shiraz and Poetic Justice Adelaide Hills Chardonnay.

Gin and Sin, a martini with grenadine and orange and lemon juices.

But what really knocks us out here: boozy hot chocolate, creamy and flavorsome, laced with the likes of Bailey’s (our recommendation), kahlua or Jameson’s whiskey.
