Restaurants » Chinese (Traditional)
Adorned with two stone lions guarding the entrance, huge hexagon-shaped Chinese lanterns and grand marble tables which create an aura of an old Chinese world charm. Savour delicious dim sum and Chinese cuisine while mingling with friends or family members in a relaxing environment with soft background music. Apart from dim sum, the restaurant prides itself in offering home-cooked dishes which are all time favourites among the young and old alike. Next on the list is the Braised Streaky Pork with Preserved Vegetables. Slices of pork is deep-fried, then braised in a pot together with preserved vegetables (Mui Choy), water and Chinese wine till the meat is tender enough to be served.
Fresh red snapper fillets are used for the next appetising dish - Shanghai Sweet & Sour Sliced Fish, prepared with slices of tomatoes, cucumber and onions. Almond Bean Curd Jelly is a mix between jelly and tofufah (bean curd). It is soft, yet bouncy, and is served in rich almond syrup, topped with longan. It is a dessert not to be missed!

When you're in Genting Highlands, finding good food to eat could be a major problem as you could not rely on fast food all the times and the food court's food are kinda crappy! Thus, you would have to patron one of the restaurants, however most of their prices are on the high side unless you had made a big win in one of the casino!! Despite not winning anything from the casino, I decided to dine at Restoran Good Friends on my second night stay!
It was crowded as usual, maybe many people won tons of money from the casino. I gave myself just minimum pampering by ordering just the cheaper and simple food instead of those food for the high rollers!!! I ordered the following:
Pork ribs old cucumber soup - tasted okay but it's kinda oily!! Roasted chicken with cashew nuts - just like the photo shows, look and taste good! Kai Lan with garlic - not bad, but the garlic not enough lei!! Foo Yong Egg - this one tasted well and it goes well with the chilli sauce!! Plain rice - of course all these need to go with some plain rice, tio bo?
However I discovered something interesting on my table, it might not be interesting for fellow Malaysian as this feature could be found in other restaurants. Nevertheless, it very innovative as it used broadband frequency to activated the waiters and waitresses for the above mentioned services. It's very effective as I tried pressing it a few times and the waiter/waitress came to my table within a minute!!!
Maybe Singapore restaurants should try this to make away the problem of waving your hand and none of the waiter or waitress could see you!!!
