the. Indugle Restaurant

I will write a review for my dining experience for this place,

Where: the. Indugle Restaurant
Location: the. Indulge Restaurant, 2 Handy Road, B1-26, The Cathay, Singapore 229233

Ambience

Reach there at about 6:45. Went into Cathay, one of the indulge staff was handing out brochure at the escalator, got 1 piece of it, take a look and confirmed that the lobster pasta promotion was still on. Found the restaurant at one corner in the basement of the Cathay, walk into the restaurant, it was very small with some slow music playing in the background, not sure what genre was the music, didn’t pay much attention to it, my attention was on the menu. Nothing special, it has standard restaurant ambience.

Service

There was only 2 floor staff (If I am not wrong) working and they seems busy. I ask one of them to place my order, she told me to consider the set promotion, so I ponder for a while and she was gone, tending to other guests. So I called the order waitress to place the order, she was quite friendly, I order the promotional set dinner (lobster pasta as main, Meepok* white wine) and a standard Lobster pasta (Meepok*, Aglio olio). Then the waitress came with the settings for our dinner together with the ice water, she places the plates and drinks all over the place except where it is suppose to be :( . Then our Ices Tea came, it was very sweet (Drink to much might get diabetes, btw it is a complimentary drink)… After a while the appetizer came..

*Meepok = Linguine

Food

The appetizer was Crispy prawn something, it came in a rather long plate with just 2 prawns on it (I think it is in the promotion set that’s why so pathetic), the prawn taste awesome, crispy, juicy and all. After we finish the prawns, the soup came (there was 2 choices, herbal chicken and pumpkin, I picked herbal chicken), the soup was serve in a funny shape bowl, the soup taste quite good too, the chicken meat in the soup also tasted good. So far so good, then came the main course, the Lobster meepok, the lobster Meepok was serve in a width about 2.75 inch, length about 1 foot long plate (Odd choice), the lobsters are rather small, without the feelers it is about 4 – 5 inches long ba. So we dig in, I had the white wine styled Meepok while my galfriend had the Aglio Olio styled meepok which is spicy. The white wine meepok tasted okay, while the aglio olio is really too spicy and it has lots of garlic. Some how the meepok never live up to its starters and soup… Haix. After the main course, I ask for my Desert, which is chocolate ice cream with some coffee favour puddings, which wasn’t that good too.. after finishing up, we called for the bill, no fanciful payment method here, standard show you the bill while you pay..

Overall 0-10 (10 being the best)

Overall it’s ok for a date, can catch a movie after the meal. Personally I think the price can be manipulated.. Maybe order the crispy prawns ($7.50) for sharing and a main course each will be ok ba.. anyway that’s all for now..
