British Malay cuisine, as interpreted by Hainanese chefs
of yore, is on the menu at this pukka restaurant in the heritage wing of the Majestic. Dishes
such as chicken rice served Melaka style with rice balls and mulligatawny soup are served
with aplomb - followed by the thud of a heafty bill. The attached tea lounge is where you
can enjoy a very fancy afternoon tea - from RM78 for two - that can also be served in the
luscious orchidarium.
