Connoisseurs @ KLGCC

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Water isn't free here, so be ready to fork out for still or sparkling.

Connoisseurs,
Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club.
