Cool, fresh air and a panoramic green
vista are the icing on the top for diners patroning Tavern In The Sky, a
rooftop Thai dining and BBQ bar up at Genting Highlands.
Tucked away at the Grand Ion Delemen
Hotel and easily accesible to guests staying at the neighbouring premium
apartment towers of Gloria Residences, this serene restaurant is worth a visit
during lunch or dinner.
Best seats in the house are naturally outside
by the spacious patio. It’s a memorable experience like no other when you sit
down to a piping hot mookata (Thai barbecue cum hotpot) meal in the chilly
highland weather.
The house speciality Mookata (RM120 per set) is ample
enough to cater to 2-3 diners. Ingredients include 3 tiger prawns, 1 freshwater
king prawn, chicken and fish slices, scallops, mussels, squid, beancurd,
chicken sausage, crabstick, mixed vegetables and noodles.
Additional portions of sliced beef, seafood and other ingredients
(we counted 27 in total) available a la carte (RM8-RM18 per serving). For those
who rather not get their hands dirty, the helpful restaurant team will gladly
step in to cook the food. Otherwise, it promises to be a fun DIY experience
with family or friends.
Based on our first-hand experience, the various
morsels are delicious when eaten hot off the grill and pot. The barbecue items,
cooked with butter, are done just right while soup for the hot pot is clear and
sweet.
Crowd-pleasing snacks and Thai
fare to accompany beer, wine or your tipple of choice are also served at Tavern In The Sky. We recommend Ochagavia Espuela (RM100), a fresh, crisp
Chilean white wine to complement crunchy Fried Chicken Skin (RM20) and Garlic
Fried Popcorn Chicken (RM20). Both are understandably popular choices among the
restaurant patrons thanks to the chockful of appetising flavours and crunchiness.
Need some soup to warm you up? The signature Red or
White Tom Yum Soup with Seafood (RM35-regular, RM65-large) will do the
trick nicely. Personally, I prefer the red version although the white, clear variant
is no less punchy heat quotient-wise.
Hearty, one dish meals such as Pad Thai (RM20) — Thai
fried flat rice noodles and Fried Rice are trusty options to fall back on for
carb-loading. A serving of zingy Chicken Feet Salad (RM20) won’t be remiss
as a supplementary speciality to add textural interest.
