I was reminded of the saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ when I visited THE GLAM LOUNGE recently. From the outside, the property looks unremarkable – a humble, hall banquet building with a distinctly residential feel and lots of parking. I was convinced that I must have taken a wrong-turn along the way but the various hospitality signages displayed around the entrance suggested otherwise.
THE GLAM LOUNGE is perfect for celebrating an anniversary, a wedding or a birthday party. The staff is knowledgeable that’s what makes this place so nice. People mention that the service is enjoyable here. Prices at this spot claim to be reasonable and attractive. The lovely decoration and homey atmosphere let clients feel relaxed here.
I arrived a little after 11am on a sunny Saturday morning. Walking in, the space is huge. There is a bar in the middle of the dining area. Seating is spacious and modern, and there is an electric, vibrant atmosphere. I immediately loved the colorful, chic and sophisticated surroundings.
Lasagna Chicken
With eight hearty layers of chicken, mushrooms, and cheesy goodness, this lasagna will fill up the family and then some.
Who says lasagna requires tomato sauce and Alfredo belongs with fettuccine? The garlic-herb cheese used in this recipe creates a sauce that’s similar to rich Alfredo. Assemble towering layers of chicken, mushrooms, and spinach, and you’ll have one impressive lasagna.
The building process takes a bit of time, but it’s well worth it.
Salmon Steak
Salmon Steak arrived it was clear to us that the food being served in GLAM LOUNGE is special. This is modern cooking where the Chef Jay wants to push boundaries… not just for the sake of it but because of a determination to explore the possibilities that these ingredients present. Here the flawlessly cooked New Zealand Salmon was paired with broccoli and carrots – nothing too revolutionary at first glance – but the addition of a deeply savoury black olive crumb, a sticky tomato jam and an outstanding creamy cheese elevated this dish to something truly memorable without being gimmicky.
Lamb Shank
According to Chef Jay, never go home without ordering The Lamb shank, this is a popular favorite because its tender, flavorful and topped with warm gravy and unique sides to suit all taste buds. The braised lamb shank here is cooked in BBQ smoked “home made” sauce that gives it a mild spice that doesn’t overwhelm the natural taste of the lamb. The meat is tender, soft and juicy. Served beside a fluffy and thick mash potatoes that would bring a smile to potato lovers around. This is a restaurant that presumes style yet never lets you feel uncomfortable.
Glam Nasi Ayam Penyet
Believe it or not, but ayam penyet feels like something that you can eat weekly. There is just something about this particular Indonesian dish. Fried chicken is nicely smashed with pestle against mortar, paired with sambal, slices of cucumber, fried tofu, and tempeh with it’s sambal hijau. It sounds like a dream! You should try it!
Nasi Goreng Kampung
Wok-fried rice in a traditional kampung style with chopped long beans and sauce. Served with fried anchovies, chillies slices, sunny side up egg, cucumber and spicy paste. What makes this dish special? It’s extra hot and spicy! According to Chef Jay the Nasi Goreng Kampung is always our go-to orders at Glam Lounge. This Malay style fried rice is so yummy! The flavors from the anchovies and spice from the chilies really gives this fried rice a kick. Have it with a side of fried egg (According to the GM, Mr Saravanan Subramaniam, they are able to customized special request) and you’re good to go!
Ayam Masak Lemak Cili Padi
Masak lemak is a vibrant yellow Malaysian curry with a supposed origin in Negeri Sembilan. The dish can be prepared with various proteins such as chicken (ayam), fish (ikan), daging (beef), or seafood, but the base is always the same – a creamy, incredibly flavorful, and spicy combination of turmeric, coconut milk, and various other herbs and spices.
The dish is also known as masak lemak cili api (padi), in which the last two words refer to the use of chilies in the dish. Masak lemak is enjoyed throughout Malaysia and it is usually served accompanied by sambal, rice, and raw vegetables (ulam).
This dish uses turmeric which gives it that gold as sunshine hue. We all know how turmeric is famed for its purported anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, so sprinkle away! Normally, this dish is served over rice.. SO GOOD! Pardon my drool.

Crème Brulee
Crème brûlée is a decadent French dessert consisting of a custard base and a caramelized sugar crust. The treat is traditionally served in individual ramekins. It was a perfect caramelization, this was a bang-in-season dish, full of the deep, rich flavours of the moment. I loved the slightly bitter sweet edge of the burnt Cream and sugar brought out the underlying nutty sweetness of a crème Brulee. This was intelligent cooking.
Chocolate Brownie

Made with high-quality ingredients and without any gluten-containing grains, the brownie is moist, rich, and chocolaty, satisfying your sweet tooth without any of the gluten.

After the high standard of the savory course, I am glad the pastry kitchen was up to the test by sending out a dessert that felt in tune with the rest of the meal both in terms of quality and theme. It displays the highest degree of craftsmanship and plenty of personality from a chef who tirelessly cooks more than 50 dishes. Most importantly, the food here is a joy to eat. Ingredients are luxurious and treated carefully. Plates are rich but with balance and finesse. The flavors and presentations are daring as most of five star restaurants, the results are good. This is a restaurant I will happily return again.
