Royal Kedah Club Restaurant

This was dinner at RKC Restaurant and it was quite good.

This was what Other Half had. Mixed Grill. I'd say it's one of the better ones in Alor Setar at the moment. The mutton and beef were very tender. Cooked just right. The mashed potato is baked in cheese. Now that City-One Restaurant at City Plaza is closed, probably the only other place with a good mixed grill would be Samila Hotel.

Daughter insisted on 404 on the menu... chicken ala-forestier, something like that. I had that during tea a couple of weeks ago. This one is mutilated cos I only remembered to take the photo after I was done with it. 8)

I had Lamb Kebab with butter rice. And it is definitely one of the better ones I've taken too. The butter rice tasted 'buttery' enough and was good enough to eat by itself.

Oh yes! Salad is help-yourself-as-much-as-you-want for each order of meal. You get it from a salad bar on trolley. They move it around a bit. So you actually have to look around for it!

We were given pieces of garlic bread too... and they were good. I think they would have gone down even better if there were some soup.

There was live entertainment too! A quartet - a Batak band from Medan, if I'm not wrong. Anyway, this is a short clip. They were quite entertaining. They went round from table to table asking if we had any songs we'd like them to sing. We gave them 3 - Anak, Green, Green Grass of Home and Madu & Racun. They could sing all! Some of the other tables requested Chinese songs and they sang them too. It was quite fun to be 'serenaded' by the singers. LOL! Other Half ordered a pot of loca coffee to enjoy with the music.

Ambiance was okay. Service was quite prompt and efficient. The restaurant is also opened to the public. It is located in the main building. Walk in and asked the receptionist at the door and you'll be directed up the stairs to the restaurant. There is a dress code... no collarless shirts (for men), no slippers and shorts. Else you won't be allowed in.
