Savor Italian cuisine while admiring the sparkling night views at G Tower!
The Cheese Wheel pasta is highly recommended. It’s pasta tossed in a massive cheese wheel.
Hello!
I’m Aya, a Japanese wife living in Malaysia. Malaysia is a multicultural nation, offering a wide variety of dishes from its diverse ethnic communities.
Malaysia’s culinary scene is incredibly diverse, featuring not only Malay, Chinese, and Indian cuisines but also dishes from various ethnic minority groups. You’ll also find a wide array of international options, including Middle Eastern, Thai, other Southeast Asian, Japanese, and Korean foods. Today, I’d like to introduce you to Italian cuisine, which is a firm favorite among Japanese visitors!
The restaurant we’re highlighting is The Club, located inside G Tower near the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. It’s just a 3-minute walk from Ampang Park LRT Station, and with the Ampang Park MRT station currently under construction, this area is set to become even more convenient in the near future!
It’s a wonderful choice for a celebratory meal! While you won’t get a view of the Twin Towers, you can enjoy sparkling city lights while savoring delicious Italian cuisine. The restaurant’s ambiance is lovely, and I highly recommend trying their Cheese Wheel Pasta—be sure to order it and savor every bite!
First up, we have an appetizer trio set. From left to right in the photo: octopus with a special sauce and parsley, seaweed and vegetable fresh spring rolls in the center, and skewers of olives, cheese, and watermelon on the right. In Malaysia, squid dishes are far more common than octopus. I’m not sure why that is… So, it was a nice change of pace to enjoy some delicious octopus. The fresh spring rolls and the unique olive + cheese + watermelon combination were both wonderfully innovative!
Two items: Mushroom soup. It’s creamy, with a wonderfully mellow and delicious aroma of roasted mushrooms. It tastes just like the mushroom soup I used to drink back in Japan.
This is a giant cheese pot. Inside this large cheese furnace, pasta is tossed in melted cheese to create the exquisite “Cheese Wheel Pasta”! According to the restaurant’s senior waiter, you can only find this dish in Kuala Lumpur here. Anyway, they ignite alcohol to melt the cheese, coat the pasta in it, and then prepare a mushroom, bacon, and spinach pasta.
“Cheese Wheel Pasta” – Your mushroom, bacon, and spinach pasta is ready!
(1) First, melt the cheese with heat:

(2) Toss the cheese:

(3) The Alcohol Fire Waterfall!

You can choose with or without alcohol, but it’s definitely more delicious with it! The reason is that the alcohol helps the melted cheese bring out the aroma of the mushrooms even more. The chef prepares it right in front of you, and the moment they light the banner with a flame, a waterfall of fire erupts! You can’t help but exclaim, “Wow!” in a foreign style!
The staff are all friendly and helpful!
The combination of alcohol and cheese is absolutely divine! Be sure to give it a try.
Before the main course, we were served a palate-cleansing sorbet—quite the unexpected delight that truly embodies the spirit of “omotenashi” (Japanese hospitality). And this passion fruit sorbet paired with strawberry was shockingly delicious!
The main course lets you choose between sirloin or salmon. Here, we have the Italian-style sirloin with warm vegetables and basil.
The whole salmon is seared over fire, then topped with yam leaves and baby shrimp, and finished with a basil sauce.
The finale was tiramisu. It looked modest, but it was actually quite huge.
This is a customized menu, but you can also order individual items. For reference, the four-course meal costs around RM150.
