The Blossom Chinese Restaurant at Swiss Garden Hotel Kuantan

We stayed at the Swiss Garden Hotel Kuantan in April 2013. As it was a long weekend and school holiday too, the hotel was packed to the brim. Many restaurants outside was also full.

Some how, we had a dim sum lunch at the hotel's Chinese restaurant, The Blossom. Well, we all enjoyed it very much although there is no pork and the bill was also very reasonable, Kuantan prices. Unfortunately, I did not take any photos during the dim sum lunch.

Due to the good experience, we came back for dinner the following day. They had a all you can eat promotion and we could choose from about 50 dishes.

Appertisers of deep fried cruellers. Good.

Sharkfin soup.

Another appertiser of deep fried foo chok.

Butter prawns. Good size too!

Fried fish

Fried squid

Beef...all gone.

Noodles....gone also.

Fried rice....

First things first, the food was good. My hat off to the chef. He has the wok hei skills and the taste is just right. I would go back to eat again anytime. Apparently lots of Kuantan folks, not hotel guests, would come here for their meals. Good job. Prices are also very reasonable.

One observation however, is that due to the full house in the hotel service is stretched due to the lack of staff. Even with the available staff, most are just part time and not properly trained. This is sad as it will lower the standards of the hotel. However, this is not just this hotel's problem but for all. It seems the problem is much worse in Kuantan than elsewhere.
