In a pinch when we have to entertain but did not plan to cook, we head to the Subang Jaya Golf Club where we are members. The Golfer's Terrace serves one of the best selections of local food. I'm not alone in this view point. All my first time guests, some as far from Ireland and New Zealand, agree too.
For a while the outlet management took off the fried chicken wings from their line-up. It was a bitter blow, because they were an excellent dish. They re-introduced it sometime last year, much to my delight, and the dismay of my scales. Their best and worst point is that they are fried. We're talking golden skinned, crisp to the tooth, succulent down in the bone, best kind of frying there is. No other place I know serves wings like these!
The club's selection of noodles is also good. Their beef noodles has really good stock, so there is a rich, but not heavy beef broth to base their beef balls, tripe, tendon and beef cubes in.
Oddly, due perhaps to new staff, the Cantonese noodles I ordered came served with wantan noodles. However, they were still good, although eating the fine noodles in this thick gravy was a bit odd.
The satay stand is operated by a third-party contractor, but like most food vendors chosen by the club, the quality is high, and the prices still very reasonable. I still pay RM10 for a dozen sticks of either chicken or beef satay, and the meat is of reasonable quality. The chicken satay does not try to get away with pieces of skin balled up to add bulk, while the meat is most times quite succulent for the beef variant. The sauce is one of the better ones around - sweetly spiced, fragrant with the Malay aromatic herbs and with just the right blend of peanuts and gravy.
With four adults and a child, and drinks (though it was just Chinese tea), my meal cost in the region of RM55 for everything. Considering the view, I think this helps rate the club as one of the best dining out options in my repertoire.
