Golfer's Terrace

Special thanks to TPC Kuala Lumpur for extending this food review invitation.

Today's program brings us to Tournament Players Club (TPC) Kuala Lumpur, formerly known as Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club. Perched on the idyllic Bukit Kiara, this prestigious country club is surrounded by rolling lawns and lush greenery.

The beautifully landscaped golf course comprises of the 18-hole East Course (par 71) and 18-hole West Course (par 72). Both courses meet the highest standard of PGA, and are among the most acclaimed ones in Asia. Over the years, TPC Kuala Lumpur has hosted international tournaments such as the PGA Tour, PGA European Tour and LPGA Tour.

The villa-style clubhouse provides facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, driving range, fitness center, karaoke lounge, golf pro shop and more. As for club members with children, TPC Kuala Lumpur has a recreational amenities like bowling alley, games room and mini theater to keep the young ones entertained at all times.

TPC Kuala Lumpur has several food outlets, all of which are open to the public. Located at the West Lobby, the Golfer's Terrace serves as the country club's all-day dining restaurant. The food menu here covers a variety of local delights and Western dishes.

Unlike other eateries in TPC Kuala Lumpur, the Golfer's Terrace is directly operated by the clubhouse. The main dining area has air-conditioned and al fresco dining sections. There is also a bar area which affords panoramic views of the West Course.

Roti Canai (RM6.25) is one of popular dishes on the breakfast menu, which is typically served between 6:30am and 11:00am daily. The dough for Roti Canai is kneaded, flattened and folded repeatedly so that it becomes flaky when cooked. The crispy flatbread is served with dhal and chicken curry.

Rojak Petis (RM19.50) comprises of jicama (sengkuang), pineapples, cucumbers, bean sprouts, tofu, water spinach (kangkung) and crushed peanuts. The ingredients are tossed with freshly made petis udang, a savory paste made of shrimps, tamarind and chili peppers.

Diners who prefer Western cuisine can opt for Carbonara Pasta (RM32.40). The spaghetti dish is served with streaky beef, mushrooms, fried bread and egg cream sauce. The homemade sauce is made less creamy in order to suit the local palate.

In an interesting twist to the classic Italian dessert, the Soy Panna Cotta is made of soy milk instead of cream. The sweet custard is served with fresh strawberries, strawberry sauce and chocolate curls.

For the month of February 2020, Golfer's Terrace is rolling out Nasi Tomato & Ayam Masak Merah Set (RM29.90++). This popular Malay dish uses rice infused with tomato purée, which is blended from fresh tomatoes. Also served on the banana leaf are ayam masak merah (tomato-flavored chicken), dalcha (vegetable stew), acar jelatah (pickled vegetable salad), papadum (black gram crackers) and cashew nuts.

Ayam Masak Merah is thoroughly marinated with spices, making the meat succulent to the last morsel. The chicken thigh is braised with tomato sauce, dried chili peppers, terung pipit (pea eggplant), onions and spices. Meanwhile, acar jelatah serves to cleanse the palate after a satisfying meal.

The weather is usually hot and sunny during February 2020. In response, Golfer's Terrace is serving Pineapple Lemonade (RM12.00++) and Pineapple Sunrise (RM12.00++) month-long to keep one's body cool and rejuvenated throughout the day.

Golfer's Terrace does not cut corners when it comes to food quality. To ensure that all dishes have the "homemade" touch, virtually all ingredients are prepared from scratch in the kitchen. The food portions are also quite generous; a single serving is largely sufficient for most people.
