You are obviously a great photographer, and I still think the presentation of the meal, at least, looked good.Carolina deWittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356276329845892046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-20214413324413264462008-06-14T16:43:00.000+08:002008-06-14T16:43:00.000+08:00I never understood what the big deal was about thi...I never understood what the big deal was about this place. I can't believe it even won an award for Best Restaurant last year at the HAPAs! Like you said, too many things on the menu and trying to be too clever, the result - a very hit and miss, confused, overpriced dining experience.<BR/><BR/>Save your money for KL and eat at all the wonderful stalls while in Ipoh.Rarebeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833751740789015509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-67559336048438271102008-06-12T13:39:00.000+08:002008-06-12T13:39:00.000+08:00I been to Indulgence twice; once before they shift...I been to Indulgence twice; once before they shifted to the new place and 2nd time after they shifted. <BR/><BR/>The food were so much better at the old place.

Downright rude for me, but I often try to ignore their attitude because I wanted a good meal..last time I brought a friend there and he was worried if he accidentally annoyed the curry noodles fella hahaha. <BR/><BR/>This time my bf's coming down so instead of taking him to the curry noodle place, gonna take him to the Pasir Pinji yong tau foo instead. Do try it out the next time you drop by Ipoh. While it may be operated at some run-down looking hut the YTF there tasted really good :Phongdoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936741326391111947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-60951554141051129832008-06-11T08:48:00.000+08:002008-06-11T08:48:00.000+08:00sc - well, imagine a taste of the type of oil you ...sc - well, imagine a taste of the type of oil you put on yr hair and you will have that urgh taste!<BR/><BR/>ling239 - yeah, hawker food is so much better.<BR/><BR/>LL - well, at the end of the day the price is justified since so "many ingredients" congregating on one plate mah.<BR/><BR/>cumi & ciki - LOL, well maybe I am too KL orientated but none of the mains passed...<BR/><BR/>lianne - could be these are fixed or they are used to it.

I can't imagine what the food will taste like after the price hikes!<BR/><BR/><BR/>boobsy - ah, glad you concurred on Indulgence too. We did go eat curry noodles and Thean Chun also.

The chicken breast with etc etc (As you said, the combination is endless, and mind-numbing) was nicely presented, but too dry. Paying premium price for mediocre food is absurd.<BR/>then the previous visit with the FREE spread changed my mind, as the fresh oysters (how wrong can they get?), and various 'NORMAL' pasta were served. The desserts stole the limelight, and my faith was half-restored. but now, I guess my next visit wont be anytime soon .... hehe ...<BR/><BR/>do stick to typical Ipoh hawker and restaurant fare ya?J2Kfmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796494199340657874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-63112514035982104522008-06-10T17:29:00.000+08:002008-06-10T17:29:00.000+08:00I took my mother to Indulgence last year on Mother...I took my mother to Indulgence last year on Mother's Day, and we were very, very disappointed with the food, and especially the service.<BR/><BR/>Since we didn't order from the Mother's Day set lunches, I had hoped that the food quality wouldn't be affected, but no...not only did the food suck, service was slow too.<BR/><BR/>I was particularly cheesed off with this waitress who was so rude to us. <BR/><BR/>I'm never going back to Indulgence again, even for drinks!Kierstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392744582627680284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-50801379469493250202008-06-10T00:34:00.000+08:002008-06-10T00:34:00.000+08:00Eeeep!

I first dined there when I was 15 and had some pasta dish that escaped my mind. Kinda generic but back then there weren't many places that serves good pasta so it stands out a bit. <BR/><BR/>Recalled eating there last year..their pizza's taste alright but their lasagna was horrible. It was undercooked even though it was sent back to the kitchen twice and I was given a cake to compensate for their mistake. Seriously speaking, besides it being the hangout for the royalty and rich tai-tai's..there's nothing much to shout about the place.<BR/><BR/>You are better off going to the old Police station and eating their curry noodles there. Or even Thean Chun at Old Town, even if it's a little too commercialized nowadays.hongdoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936741326391111947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-19587834200007945082008-06-09T18:07:00.000+08:002008-06-09T18:07:00.000+08:00Hello Boo_liciousI like your blog postings on food...Hello Boo_licious<BR/><BR/>I like your blog postings on food.
