    A rather disappointing experience. Service was excellent, but the restaurant was hard to find, the ambience cold (as was the temperature) and whilst the food quality was satisfactory, one dish arrived cold and had to be reheated twice whilst I waited for two other dishes to arrive.

    An excellent Chinese restaurant - no wonder it's Michelin rated. And yes, it's pricey, especially for Malaysia. So if you want to shop around, I'm sure you'll find great food that is much less costly, but it won't be better

    There were banana flies hovering around our table. But nobody came to remove them.

    Strives to balance the menu between traditional Chinese and popularised Western Chinese. Food is lovely but service disjointed - it comes when it's ready. The ambience suffers from the whole of the hotel in that mixed carpet and marble flooring just doesn't work in bars and restaurants. Wine list is only fair. However I would return if staying in the RC which is highly likely!

    Dim Sum was so so only, not the Michelin standard.

    Quite normal. Expect the dim sum to be better though.

    会計をお願いしてから30分以上待たされた。3人に会計をお願いしても無視。挙げ句の果てにはマリオットの割引、ポイント加算もされなかった。番号何のためにメモしたの?
