Scenic Dining at Rooftop 25 at Hilton Garden Inn

After being devoid of such beautiful sight during the Covid-19 lockdown period, returning to Rooftop 25 at Hilton Garden Inn is definitely invigorating. Smack in the middle of Chow Kit, it is still one of the unexpected places to get a breathtaking view of Kuala Lumpur's skyline, having both the Twin Towers and the KL Tower in perspective.

Hilton Garden Inn Kuala Lumpur South’s Rooftop 25 Bar and Lounge has launched a new menu, featuring an array of passionately curated dishes to welcome guests back. From traditional Malaysian favourites to exciting fusions, the dishes are not only rich in flavour, they are also seasoned with  history of the place where the hotel is located at. This place is where you can get good food, affordable drinks and an amazing view.

Chef Md Nor, Junior Sous chef explaining the inspiration that germinated the creation of the dishes

Mee Bandung Raja Laut RM26

The Mee Bandung Raja Laut is Rooftop 25's best selling item among the mains and I can see why. Chef Md. Nor made good use of his grandmother's 35 year-old recipe which tackles many angles of the tastebuds. The prawn broth deserves a thumbs up as it inherits the aromatic flavour from the prawns. The freshness of the prawns and squid is apparent in their crunch and briny sweetness. The chef knows that a humble poached egg eaten with the soup is gratifying. Peanut paste is stealthily added into the equation to give the soup more body. Even the noodle has an impressive bite. This dish managed to win my favour and is recommended.

Pan Fried Salmon Asian Glaze RM44

Combining Japanese and Chinese flavours, the Pan Fried Salmon Asian Glaze is the chef’s very own creation. The salmon is prepared just right with a thick layer or sweet and savoury glaze. Paired with mushroom rice pilaf, this dish makes a satisfying meal. 

Fabulous Cilantro Pasta RM35

The Fabulous Cilantro Pasta will definitely engage the tongue of a herb lover. This pasta dish is actually Thai-inspired. Linguine is tossed with spicy garlic cilantro oil, baby spinach and parmesan served with timely poached seafood. 

Classic Mobley Burger RM34

The Classic Mobley Burger is Hilton Garden Inn’s signature burger. Named after Conrad Hilton’s first hotel, it consists of a homemade patty, Chef’s burger sauce, maple bacon relish and cheese and is served with fries. The patty is seared with juices locked in the sufficiently seasoned patty. This burger fills up the tummy quite efficiently.

Aromatic Ayam Bakar RM28

The Aromatic Ayam Bakar is the first dish the chef attempted to cook when he first started in this industry 15 years ago. Throughout the years, the recipe has evolved. The dish now draws-in two different cooking methods. The homemade sauce features ingredients that accentuates the Malaysian flavour. 

Batu Road Wok Fried Noodles RM24

The Batu Road Fried Noodles too has a special place in the chef’s heart, as it is inspired by his grandfather who owned a hawker stall on Jalan Tar (previously known as Batu Road). Although simple, this charred noodle dish requires skills for that smokey infusion. The plate of rice noodle is complemented with matching seasoned chicken.

Javanese Chilli Fries RM18

Perfect for sharing, the Javanese Chilli Fries is a Western staple converted into a Malaysian snack.  Fries is mixed with tempeh, groundnuts and anchovies fried all together in sambal sauce. A great bite to accompany your beer.
