- What are some nearby food suggestions? We don't need fancy. We love a broad range of Asian food.
OK, a non food question. We will move on to Malacca. Should we book a car via the hotel or will Grab drive us that far?
1. The paid afternoon tea is served in the same restaurant as breakfast, I didn't try it myself but wife said it was "ok". I think they do an afternoon tea buffet once a month on Sundays ?
I've heard friends talk about a "proper" afternoon tea at the Majestic Hotel, but again, haven't tried it myself.
2. Went to Le Petite Chef as 2 adults + 2 kids. Took the earliest slot at 6pm (missed Cocktail hour, since kids aren't allowed in the lounge then anyway). There's are a few function halls where the projection equipment is set up, so may be worth asking if there's an adult only section if you don't want to be disturbed. There are 2 prices for both the adult menu and wine pairing (so 4 combos), and we took 1 each just to see the difference. I would suggest going for the cheaper menu as it tasted the same, the more expensive menu just had an extra piece/slice of "premium ingredient" like a sprinkling of caviar on top. LPC also requires booking and pre-payment. I think this is the only LPC in Malaysia, as didn't see it mentioned at Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu.
3. Lot10 has a foodcourt with curated Chinese outlets. Japanese food at Kampachi (EQ Hotel). Indian food at the Indian Restraunt at Sheraton Imperial. Shangri-La's dinner buffet.
