Rainbow Palace restaurant, KL

Rainbow Palace - 5th Floor, Komplek Campbell, Jln Dang Wangi, 50100 Kuala Lumpur
Phone: +603 2929 646 or +603 2926 408
Where? Located off Jln Tungku Abd Rahman, and positioned near Pertama and Sogo. See MAP below for further details of the institution that is simply known as Campbell.
The occasion? Post-golf makan, and farewell meal for Andrew.
Parking? A wedding was on-going, hence Campbell car park was choc-a-bloc, took over 20 minutes of circling up and down the 6 storey car park to find an illegal parking spot. I suggest one does not take a Waja or any LARGE TURNING RADIUS car into this car park, it's tight!
So, how was the food? EXQUISITE! This place is certainly HALL OF FAME material. See details below. Even the BOILED PEANUTS were good, the 'DOUBLE BOILED CHICKEN SOUP' was fantastic, as was the SEAFOOD SALAD IN APPLE. The layout is very typically 70s-80s chinese restaurant with lots of chinz / gold / reds, but don't let that put you off (Even the Wedding Karaoke didn't!), the food is THAT GOOD!
To wash it all down ... A bit of Swing, and heck a lot of Johnny.
BRAVO! Thanks for the excellent treat, and yes... this place is truly blogworthy. Nuff' said.



The piece de resistance .... Suckling Pig stuffed with Glutinous Yam Rice. $140 of magic! This is damn good. Most of us thought this was the BEST pig bar none!


Most of the gang was full by the time 3/4 of the suckling pig was completed, but I found it in myself to have 4 (or was it 5?) pieces of tasty, juicy, EXTREMELY YUMMY yong-tau foo cooked in a claypot with black bean sauce. The photos don't do the SIZE of these fellas justice, try NOT to order more then 2 pieces per person, they are gia-nor-mous!


Just one more dish, and then to wash it all down ... some mangoes.
