This name seems familiar right? …. The famous Korean series few years ago. Don’t be mistaken that I’ve brought you to Korea acting scene ya. This restaurant is located in Ipoh.

The environment is clean and comfortable. It provides a corner of seating on wooden floor in the restaurant, one of the Japanese style, or actually the lifestyle originated from Korea?

Talking about its food, luckily they don’t have too many varieties as my limited computer memory prohibits me from storing too many photos in it. Frankly, their food is good but I am just not so used to the taste. Most of the meals are accompanied by preserved side dishes.

Left~ Kimchi (famous side dish, but spicy to me!) ;

Right~ Crispy Anchovies.

Braised Pork Rib

Kimbab

Below is the explanation published near the entrance about the above mixed rice!

I like the breakfast set in Coffee Bean, but of course I can’t take it often as it is not cheap for a normal breakfast. It costs for RM13.50 for a set like this.

Egg Ben Set (Turkey ham & cheddar cheese with an egg on top.)

This comes together with a cup of brew of the day! Anyway, I always turn it down and reorder an ice blended mocha coffee for myself.

Besides, a new drink was introduced for young ones especially. ……

The best stuff on earth ~ Snapple, natural Cranberry Raspberry juice.

The blended coffee here is really tempting. A taste of its thick coffee powder really makes my day fresh and energetic. Why can’t I make a cup of cappuccino as good as in Coffee Bean? Are they using Capresso in making their coffee? I wonder.

Whenever the kids and I walked pass Big Apple Donuts in Jusco, sure our eyes would be following the donuts counter while we move. We all like to eat the donuts as there are really a lot of varieties to choose. The donuts are just soft and tasty.

Yummy lar…..

I won’t let my kids or myself have donuts too often as they are considered fried. Just not so good for health too. When the staff are making the donuts, how hygiene would they be? No one knows. I have heard so many mesothelioma cases lately, and that is not the only illness. I heard of other cancers problems too. All these stop me from indulge too much in donuts.

I have been wondering when I can visit Indulgence again since my last visit last year. I was hoping to have my birthday dinner there. And, my dear hubby like knew my heart well. He has planned and invited my friends to celebrate with me on that day!

My Zi Wei was so excited. She just could not forget this which she has tried long time ago!

Funny Face (smashed potato & sausages as main)

Men love the oysters. I just feel not so healthy to eat this too much!

And, hubby would definitely go for steak when having western dining.

My friend and I would only go for fish. Unfortunately, no cod fish was in stock. We then decided to try out tuna and a type white fish ….. errr…can’t remember the name as it’s complicated.

Poached Baked Tuna

It looks nice but it was quite raw. I dared not eat. The chef explained to us that tuna has to be cooked in this way to preserve its natural taste.

Who can tell what kind of white fish is this?? Sorry, I can’t.

I couldn’t eat the raw tuna, so I had this pizza. Not bad!

We were not allowed to cut my birthday cake in Indulgence as they sell cakes too. Well, kind of waste huh! I really like the environment there even though the food may not be perfect to us. I saw a tv stand at one corner, I wonder they would put a LCD next time. Wow, then it may be syiok to enjoy some mtv while dining!

During our trip to Genting Highlands last school holidays, we didn’t crave for any special dining. Just had some fast food and chose the varieties in First World food court. Despite that, the food was still expensive.

The only place I have longed for its dim sum is the Ah Yat Abalone & Sharksfin Restaurant in First World Hotel. It starts its dim sum at only 11am on weekdays, while the restaurant serves Chinese lunch and dinner as well. I like this place not because it has varieties of dim sum, but I love it bird’snest egg tarts! Yum…..unfortunately, no more egg tarts left by the time we reached at 12pm!! Why so fast huh??!! 

I managed to share a little of the pleasant dim sum as my kids were too noisy, talking and fighting with each other. I don’t have to worry they would develop any public speaking anxiety in future. They just don’t bother anyone around them! LOL

After strolling around the town for quite a few hours with my mum and kids, my mum suggested that we stopped by San Marco to have our favourite ice-cream break. I promptly agree with her as it was really a hot day. Of course, my kids were very delighted to hear that. I decided to give them a holiday treat as tea break yesterday.

Once we stepped into the cafe, the kids hardly waited to give their order already. The owner couldn’t continue discussing about software development with his friend a little longer as my kids were really noisy.

And this is always for ME !! With banana fillings!

No snapshot for my mum as she just ordered plain three scoops of black sesame, coconut and almond flavoured ice-cream !

After picking up the kids from class on Saturday, I usually bring them for a walk at Jusco. Today is just the same. As three of us were strolling at the roadside, thinking of what to eat for lunch, my eyes were attracted by a beautiful sports car with sparkling Ferrari parts at one of the parking space. My soul was quickly pulled back as my kids were making noise around. Without a second, we were right at Black Canyon doorstep.

I suddenly remember the new release menu in Black Canyon. Yes, I really miss Phad Thai ever since I first tasted it in Bangkok. I insisted to give it a try in Ipoh here. Out of my amaze, the Phad Thai in Black Canyon is slighly beyond the standard in Bangkok. Yes, of course, this is the Thai’s specialties. How could it be compared here! Well, not really so bad lar….. can still be acceptable then! Why not you give it a try if you don’t know what that is. Remember, it is a bit spicy but sweet too.

One of my dad’s friend came to our house to discuss about estate planning last night. He was a little surprised to see the condition of my two kids. It was expected that he reminded me again not to let them eat hen’s eggs. I really wonder why eggs may cause itchiness to skin. I was told that hen’s eggs contain unchained protein which trigger the glands on skin and cause someone to have skin itching.

Sometimes, I really heart break to see my kids scratch non-stop till the skin bleeds. I then came upon an article in the internet about treatment for egg allergy in children. Have anyone heard that such allergic kids can be treated by giving them cakes?!! You must really see this if you are curious on what I said here! It is kind of interesting….

I have a sweet tooth on fancy desserts and ice-cream especially. All the while I thought Haagen Dazs is the best, but I find that Baskin Robbin has more flavours than Haagen Dazs. Anyway, since now it’s the trend to go on healthy diet, I am much particular on the ingredients of anything I eat.

If really I want to indulge in healthy ice-cream, I would definitely go to San Marco Ice-cream House for my favourite ice-cream. Why? The cafe owner has learnt the home-made ice-cream from England with the three main ‘NO’s which is being emphasized all these while.

NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURING ; NO PRESERVATIVES ; NO COLOURING !!!

Popular flavours over there…..durian, coconut, almond, pistachio, tiramisu, dragon fruit etc.

Of course I can’t pamper myself everyday with too much of calories even though the homemade ice-cream is in low sugar. Or else, I would have to seek for Lipofuze reviews for effective fat-burner.

Although their ice-cream are good and their food is delicious, the owner gains not much luck due to its location. Not many people know about their cafe even though he has started its business for more than 5 years. I really support him and hope he won’t close down his business due to lack customers. For those who have a sweet tooth as I do, go and try out this cafe. Maybe, you can share out your opinion after that.

I have been to Black Canyon many many times, but yet I haven’t published any post on it in this blog. There are certainly not much choices to dine in Jaya Jusco Ipoh nowadays. I have tried everything inside the mall.

Anyway, Black Canyon cafe is quite endeared to me as I love its coffee.

Mocha Glacier ~ my choice most of the time!

Tomyam soup , if you can stand the spiciness.

As for my kids, I would always order sandwiches for them. I prefer this among all other sandwiches.

Club Sandwich ( chicken slice, ham and cheese)

Yes, this is a halal Thai cuisine and no pork will be served. I heard that they are serving new menu lately. I can’t wait to eat out again here with my friends. I like dining with more people as we can order and try more dishes at the same time. Of course, I will mind my weight as I don’t hope to rely on Lipovox after all.
