Colonial Club offers cuisine of fusion expatriate and local ingredients, resulting in a delicious merger of foods. One could savour on a delectable mix of heritage cuisine, including Nonya dishes, Hainanese food and local food with British colonial flavour.
Located at the basement of Paragon, this cosy nostalgic looking restaurant is tended by many friendly local staff. Self ordering is done by writing on the paper and the staff will key in your orders. We love the cosy colonial feel of the restaurant. Food was promptly served within 10mins upon ordering. We had 2 of their recommended main dishes and 1 vegetable.
1. Nasi lemak tower ($16.90) - bluepea nasi lemak rice stacked with otah, egg, cucumber and beef rendang. It is accompanied with archar and sambal chilli. The beef rendang was tenderly stewed and the overall combination was awesome as a whole. Loved the sambal chilli! Rating: 4/5
2. Hainanese chicken chop ($15.90) - huge pc of chicken cutlet battered with housemade crumbs and topped with tomato sweet sauce. The cutlet was a little dry on the outside and the sauce wasn't tasty enough. Portion was huge but was lacking in taste. Rating: 3.2/5
3. Nonya chap chye ($8.90) - expected to be a small bowl but it came by surprise a huge portion of awesomely stewed cabbage, black fungus and carrot dish. Taste was good and will go extremely well with sambal belacan dip. Rating: 3.8/5
Overall, Colonial Club offers quite a wide range of good local fusion cuisine for locals and expatriates in very comfortable environment. Highly recommended dish will be their nasi lemak tower.
We have yet to try the rest but given a chance, we would be back to try their other Nonya and Hainanese local cuisines and probably save our tummy for their dessert and drinks as well.
