Georgetown Colonial Malaysian

Georgetown sounds as if it should feature a carvery and Yorkshire puds, but this terrific eatery is named for the East India Company's trading port in Malaysia, so that gives you an idea of the cuisine. The atmosphere at Georgetown recall a colonial ballroom, with wicker and plants, a soaring staircase and classical music tinkling gently in the background. The delicious menu features Tamil Indian Malaysian, Chinese Malaysian, as well as more purely Malay dishes, so you can roam amongst cuisines.

Start off with a Singapore Sling and move on to a course of Udang Bakar Kering, which is pan-fried spicy jumbo prawns in their shells in a red onion sauce with soft roasted parotta, main course of claypot, which is chicken, pork, Chinese spinach, prawns, tomato, dried mushrooms and beansprouts, simmered in a claypot, flavoured with chicken stock and soya, and served with rice, and a pud of fresh pineapple with dark rum, maple syrup, and creamy vanilla ice cream.
