Not just a table of 10.

Recently we welcomed an extended family of 10 from Australia and we would like to share with you what we'll be able to do for groups like these...

Our front of house team took care of the setting and service. There are plenty of nice spots in and around Straits Club. At first, the plan was to put a long table along the swimming pool right beside the restaurant but Langkawi's rain clouds were in disagreement with that. So, plan B, a table in the bar area........

The setting

It would be fine to order from the a la carte menu but  our chef was more than happy to prepare a menu for just the table. And so, the kitchen team geared up to prepare this....

Setting done, food on the ready, wines chilled......we welcomed the guests in. The kitchen prepared the first course, wines were being poured and everybody was settling in nicely.

First course....

Prawn and Watermelon Salad

Simple and refreshing with plenty of Malaysian flavours. We served this with a Cabernet Sauvignon, which matched well with the delicate tastes of the salad.

It didn't take long for plates to be cleaned and cleared.

Main course....

Roasted Chicken with Sumac and Zaatar

A personal favourite of the chef, he likes the crispy skin, you see. The cous cous was packed with flavours from the middle east. This we served with a not too robust Cabernet Sauvignon. The consumption of this dish started out with a 'fork and knife etiquette' but ended with fingers being used to nibble all the tasty bits of the bones. 

A well deserved break for digestion follows before the kitchen sent out their desserts...

Pannacotta was, well, just that. It had nice subtle flavours of cinnamon with a hint of orange and nutmeg. It's the pineapple relish that gives the dish texture and cut the richness of it all with chilli for some, but not too much, heat.

And so the evening came to a close, at least for the kitchen team. The night was still a bit young for the guests as they did not leave until quite some time later...
