AdvertorialWondering where to go for dinner this Xmas? Everywhere has been tried before perhaps, and you don't want to spend an exorbitant amount?Then you can try going to
Indulgz!!
Their food is yummy, the service is good, and it's conveniently located at Tan Quee Lan St, opposite the DHL balloon at Bugis!
They invited me for the 3rd time (
1st)(
2nd) to try out their ever-expanding/improvised menu, and this time the lucky people who got to go are Weili, Shuyin, Wanyi and Mike...
The day before we went to Indulgz, Shuyin told me that Weili was excitedly telling her that he was very excited about the exciting, complimentary, and yummy food he was going to eat... Haha!
Ok la to be fair Wanyi not so gluttony.
Xmas tree! The place is already decked out with little cosy decorations. I should have took more pics of the ambiance but guess I was a little too hungry too do much!
EXCEPT TO CAMWHORE MYSELF!! Hahaha...
With my smelly baby
With smelly lala
Weili and Wanyi dunno pretending to pour what...
First up, the
DAILY MENU (Ala Carte Menu)
Super duper yummilicious Lobster Bisque!I've already reviewed this lovely soup in my
previous Indulgz entry, but I still have to say it tastes heavenly!
The soup is thick, very favourful (if there is such a word) and the best part has to be the fresh, abundant amount of crabmeat tossed into the middle!
I mean, how often do you get people pluck crabmeat for you right?!Well for $7.80, you can get Indulgz to pluck it as often as you desire!
Poor us! One bowl of yummy soup was
torture for the
FIVE of us to share!
Luckily, the boss Christin was smart even to compensate us by presenting her next dish, before I stalked into the kitchen and demanded 10 more bowls of lobster bisque.
One of my favs of the day,
Beef Bolognaise Cheese Fries!
Just the name of it is making me salivate can?! Crispy freshly fried fries drenched in melted cheese and tomato sauce and ground beef...
WHAT IS THERE NOT TO LIKE?!It may not be the healthiest but it is certainly a winning combination of things lor!
Perfect, up to the super tender chunky beef pieces.
Therefore we...
When the fries are all reddish they do look kinda gross but I assure you they are
super yummy lor!
Honey Garlic Baked Chicken!Weili and Shuyin immediately begin a childish fight upon seeing this dish, snatching the whole garlic pieces that were sprinkled on the chicken. Apparently, they both like eating the garlics whole! -_-
Chicken is very tender and infused with the flavour of the honey and the garlic.
This new addition will also be added to the Executive Set Lunch menu
(later I'll write more about that) where it would come with a side of pasta and mixed greens too!
CHRISTMAS MENU!!
Every special holiday is Indulgz's chef's brainstorming period, for they will come up with new themed dishes to ensure things are never dull!
This year, Indulgz's set menu for Xmas is a
5-course glorious affair for $78.80+. Pretty reasonable if you ask me!
The Xmas menu this year is Country-themed, and the set
includes Soup (Homemade Seafood Chowder), Sorbet, a main course of your choice, dessert, as well as a mocktail of Icy Pomegranate or Icy Peppermint.
The Sorbet:
YUM! I might be a tad biased coz I love sorbets, and I also love lychees!
But then again everyone agreed that this is very well done - the sorbet was not overtly sweet but came with a strong hint of lychee and also the sweet aftertaste of wine.
I normally don't like alcohols but this is pretty mild so I gulped it all down!
It is made of
real lychees, Lychee liquor, Riesling & Gerwustraminer white wine - nothing better to cleanse your palate for the main courses!

Your Choice of Main Course:
Indulgz describes this as
"Made with prime cut beef cubes, marinated in paprika, soaked in premium red wine overnight to infuse its natural goodness, simmered over flames until tender & served with the fullest flavors".
Smacking good! The beef is very, very soft (and there's enough fats for it not to be super chewy...), while the sauce is cooked such that you can totally taste the favour of the beef in it.
Goes really well together with Indulgz's famous truffled mashed potatoes I think!!
*Boys' favourite! Mike and Weili both liked it a lot... I guess guys like red meat?
Oh well...
Creative points for sure!
The fresh pink salmon is rolled into a oozing bundle of crunchiness and tenderness combined... The inside contains baby corn, baby spinach & batonades of seasonal vegetables, together with homemade salmon mousse!
I particularly liked this dish, and so did Wanyi and Shuyin!
We don't spare Indulgz food, as you can see.
So cute, it even comes with a Xmas tree on it!

I tried to cut a wedge but look at all the juices flowing out rapidly!
The puff pastry smells so nice and it's so crispy! (maybe coz it is baked fresh inside Indulgz's magical kitchen)
Inside contains tender turkey meat (the texture is more like chicken than turkey to me, which is good coz normally turkey is more tough and rough?) and seasonal veggies (includes celery and mushrooms from what I remember).
I was wondering why the sauce tastes so unique when Christin told us it's
whisky sauce. I completely approve of using alcohol to cook!!
NEVER goes wrong!
Grabbed the tiny Xmas tree
Muacks!
Christin came out and asked,
"Who ate the Xmas tree?"And before anyone could answer she said,
"You right?" to me!!
HMPF!!And then everyone chose the next moment to chorus
"SHE LAR!" (exception of Mike got no "lar")
EXCUSE ME I DID EAT THE TREE BUT I REALLY STRIKE EVERYONE AS THE DECO-EATING SORT MEH?!I kiss it already can't be I put it back on the plate what!!!
Empty plates to prove yumminess
In between our courses we snap snap snap! Ok la, only I did.
Time for XMAS-Y dessert!
Greek Yogurt!! Interesting.
Indulgz describes it as "Traditional Greek yogurt, thick & creamy, yet excellent for digestion, made with our own recipe, served with a dollop of mixed berries compote, made from real mixed berries."
Wanyi and I don't like yogurt that much, but Shuyin, Weili and Mike
COMPLETELY ADORED IT!!In fact, Weili and Mike both ate two portions each, and they kept raving about how yummy it was.
Greek yogurt is sweeter and also thicker than normal yogurt, and it's chilled to perfection at Indulgz, of course.
Told Christin to take photo for us while we pose with yogurt, haha...
Yay!!!
VALENTINE'S DAY MENU
A bit kiasu leh Christin, very long then V day lor! Nonetheless, Indulgz already created a festive love dish!
Even comes with fried rice served in a nice heart shape!!
This platter, meant for lovers to share, comes with pork ribs, Chicken Roulade, and of course, one of my favourite Indulgz dishes:
BUTTERFISH, char-grilled and put into a kebab!
Woohoo!!

EXECUTIVE SET LUNCH MENU
Starting from 3rd Jan 2008, Indulgz will be introducing their executive set lunch menu!It comes with a starter, your choice of a main course, dessert of the day, as well as a drink!
We reviewed the
Char-grilled Beef Steak w Pasta and Mixed Greens:
Haha I can assure you Weili's not giving the thumb's down sign, for the steak is really yummy and tender!
See?
Mike's so sneaky,
while the photo was taken he must have been grabbing the last piece of steak!
This must be
Mike's vision:
"AHA! LAST PIECE!! MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!"
"STAB YOU! YES, I GOT IT!"

I shouted at him till he gave it up to me, thus his funny face. Teeheehee!
The pasta is very yummy too, it's Aglio Olio and the favour is just nice,
not so strong such that it competes with the beef as a main,
but just enough to complement it very well.
