Family Suite @ Pullman KLCC Hotel & Residences

During the recent school holidays, we went on a short staycation at Pullman KLCC Hotel & Residences to check out their Family Suite. And boy, what a sweet stay it was!

Our staycation kicked off with a delicious dim sum lunch at Tai Zi Heen, located on the first floor of the hotel. Tai Zi Heen's new All-You-Can-Eat menu is as good as ever, we certainly enjoyed our lunch here. After lunch, we proceeded to the lobby to check-in. The check-in process was smooth and we soon headed to our Family Suite, located at the Residence wing.



We were amazed by the vastness of the 2-bedroom Family Suite (1150 sq ft). The kids of course were super excited when they saw that they had their own room for the night, and their excitement was further elevated by the sight of the bunk beds in the kids bedroom. Cute and cuddly soft toys adorn the beds, a welcoming sight for the kids.





As a parent, I was very impressed with the kids bedroom, which has obviously been well thought out, in terms of space, functionality and fun factor. In the bunk bed drawers, you will find toys such as building blocks, diggers and more. The room is also equipped with a PlayStation and beanbags, which proved to be super fun as we challenged each other and worked together to complete the levels in the Lego Jurassic World game.





The kids bedroom comes with their own en-suite bathroom, which has a bathtub, sink and toilet. Bathtime is much more fun, thanks to the cute bath toys, plastic cups and even kid-sized bathrobes. :)




That's not all - come bedtime, turn off the lights and your child will literally see twinkling stars as the walls are dotted with glow-in-the-dark decorations.

The kids really loved the Family Suite, and so did we - as there was lots to do in the room and for the kids to self-entertain, us parents got to sit back and relax too in the living room. There are only 2 Family Suites in the hotel, so if you're planning a trip here with your family, do book early to avoid disappointment.

There is a separate bedroom with a king-sized bedroom, with a separate shower and bath. The room and bathroom are well-equipped with 32" LCD TV, hair dryer, C.O. Bigelow amenities, bath robes, in-room safe, and alarm clock. The beds are really comfortable, along with blackout curtains, we had a restful sleep.





The Residences incorporate the convenience and luxury of a 5-star hotel stay with the priceless comforts of home living. Staying true to the concept of home away from home, the Family Suite also comes with a kitchen, as well as living area and work area with a writing desk. The kitchen is well-equipped with microwave, fridge, rice cooker, pans and pots, toaster, gas cooker, oven and diningware.  There is also a LCD TV as well as a DVD player in the living area. Complimentary wifi connection is available throughout the hotel.

Breakfast is served at Living Space, dedicated for guests of the serviced residences. Guests can also enjoy snacks and drinks, watch a movie or live football in the home theatre.




If you're not booked into the Family Suite, no worries as there is also The Zone, equipped with Xbox, PlayStation and iMac, as well as recreational facilities (slide) to entertain your kids. Not the forgetting the swimming pool, which is perfect for a fun morning or afternoon with your kids.




BabySumoKids ready for pooltime!




There are 3 pools here - a kids pool (0.6m), a jacuzzi/dipping pool and a regular-sized pool.



Pullman KLCC is conveniently located near Bukit Bintang shopping area, as well as dining and entertainment hotspots. However, there are also lots of great dining options here - Eccucino for all-day dining and buffet, Tai Zi Heen for Chinese, and Enju for Japanese, to satiate your food cravings.

All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum @ Tai Zi Heen, Pullman KLCC

Weekends are for enjoying good food with the family. A couple of weekends ago, together with BabySumoKids, we tried out the refreshed dim sum menu at Tai Zi Heen, Pullman KLCC.

On weekends and public holidays, Tai Zi Heen offers an All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum from 11.30am to 2.30pm. The price? A very reasonable RM60.65 nett for adults. The new menu will showcase 30 pork-free dim sum items, including steamed, fried and baked dim sum, rice rolls, congee, wok-fried dishes and Chinese desserts, which diners can enjoy unlimited servings of. What a fantastic offer!

We started off with the BabySumoKids' perennial favourite, chicken and shrimp dumplings filled with mushrooms (siew mai). All the dim sum here is handmade by Chef Jeff and his team. As usual, we need to order two baskets of siew mai as the kids loved it!


Another must-have for us when eating dim sum is the har gao, crystal dumplings filled with dried sole - plump, juicy prawns wrapped in translucent skin.



The pearl grouper rolls are served in a rich lobster broth - you can definitely taste the essence of the sea in this one.



Spicy steamed Nyonya -style dumplings filled with shrimp and chicken

Steamed bamboo charcoal buns with salted egg yolk custard. The sight of the custard oozing out of the fluffy bun sure is a beautiful sight. Delicious!

One of my favorites from their steamed selection - shrimp and chicken dumplings with Szechuan soy chilli dressing. Super smooth, with a spicy kick that will awaken your senses.


The fried items were ace - all crispy with juicy filling, without being oily; we tried the Prawn dumplings with wasabi dressing, Deep fried bean curd rolls with Cheddar cheese and shrimp, and Crabmeat and prawn wontons with sweet and sour dipping sauce.






Baby C really loves steamed rice rolls these days, so we got two portions of this. The accompanying chilli paste was very good too.

While the broth was pretty good and appetizing, we couldn't finish this as the portion was way too big. We only ordered one portion but what came was a portion enough to feed at least six; and it had too much noodles and too little duck.

Vermicelli with shredded duck, bean sprouts and pickled cabbage in superior broth


We ordered an array of desserts to share - Chinese herbal jelly, Iced sea coconut with longan and lemon syrup, Salted egg ice cream with red bean paste, and Oven-baked mini egg custard tarts. I thought the salted egg ice cream was pretty unique, a delicious combination of sweet and salty flavours. Definitely a delicious end to our meal.






Definitely one of the best pork-free dim sum options available in KL!

The All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum is available on Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays from 11.30am to 2.30pm.
