Olive Lounge

A sedate, intimate lounge on Pan Regency's 23rd floor, where customers might find themselves entertained by either a live jazz band or piped radio music from LiteFM.

A pool table is available, but thankfully, the patrons here rarely seem raucous.

Tomato & basil arancini, with mozzarella & aioli. A bit too bland to recommend; the rice grains inside the balls were rather mushy and gluey.

Beef burger with mango chutney, fried egg, rocket, onion, cheese & tomato. Left no lasting impression. Just not the most flavourful or most succulent burger in town.

Grilled mushroom risotto with rocket salad & goat cheese. Nothing wrong with this per se, but it was a reminder that if we crave a really rich, creamy risotto, it's best to head to the tried-and-tested Italian restaurants instead.

Long Island Iced Tea & White Russian.


Olive Lounge,
Pacific Regency Hotel Suites,
Menara Pan Global, Jalan Punchak.

  1. White Russian looks like it can be overly dilute once the ice melts...did it? and the lounge looks like it's really quiet. Any reason why? was it a weekday night?

  2. Elrond: heh, the drinks were both gulped down before the ice could melt :D if memory serves me, this was a Sunday nite, when some hotels in the city can get rather quiet due to the lack of an after-work crowd
