Indulgence Restaurant Ipoh

If your around Ipoh and fancy some fine dining, perhaps the only established name I could think of would be Indulgence. Indulgence is an award winning restaurant an was awarded the "Western Cuisine Restaurant of the Year" 2007/2008.

The lady behind the scene is also renowned in her own rights. Julie Song was awarded "Best Western Cuisine Chef" in the Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards in 2005.

Besides being a fine dining restaurant, this place is also a boutique hotel which offers 2 theme sweets (English Country & Moroccan) and 4 themed deluxe rooms (Contemporary, Chinoiserie, Thai and Italian).

The restaurant also has a wide variety of wine as fine dining is never complete without the accompaniment of wines.

Specials of the day!

Anyways, I was at Indulgence last weekend to taste first hand, what this shout of the town was all about. To be honest, I've had mixed reviews from people I know that have frequented this place. Some call it over-rated while some thoroughly enjoyed their eating experience here in Indulgence.

Picture paints a thousand words, so I shall let you feast your eyes on the food we had that day.

Fresh Angast Oyster

Black muscles in yellow and red pepper strips

Holland Mushrooms, Avocado, Hokkaido Scallops & Fritti

Salmon Basque

Pumpkin Risotto with Soft Shell Crabs & Cherry Tomatoes

Seafood Spegetti

Sirloin Steak

T-Bone Steak

Lamb Neck-Red Braised with Tomatoes

Crem Brulee

All in all, I would say that Indulgence is expensive if your a Ipoh guy since they charge KL rate. However, if you do appreciate fine dining, then the rate are pretty fair.

The food that was served to me was pretty decent and you should not leave this place without having some of their deserts. Indulgence is definitely a place to go if you have a sweet tooth and enjoys deserts.

If I would to give an out of 10 mark for this place, I would say it would definitely be a high 7.
