We arrived at around seven when most of the tables had already been filled up. In spite of the crowd, everyone in the restaurant spoke softly, as if being afraid of spoiling its peaceful atmosphere.
Though there was only one service staff then, she was spontaneous and helpful. I was impressed by her friendliness and extreme patience when taking orders.
Salmone Affumicato - $19.50
Fresh salmon in creamy tomato sauce. The chunks of salmon was well done. Tossed with pasta in creamy tomato sauce, my companion fell in love with it.
Aglio Olio E Pepeponncino E Gamberi - $21.50
Pasta in garlic sauce is my second favourite pasta dish after squid ink pasta. Get those mints ready.
Signature Chocolate Lava Cake - $12.00
At a place such as Sweet Indulgence, you will regret walking out without trying their desserts. As recommended by the waitress, we ordered their famous lava cake, which did not disappoint. Soft chocolate cake filled with melted dark chocolate was served on a plate painstakingly decorated by the chef for the delight of diners. Rich dark chocolate oozed out and filled my spoon when it slowly sank into the soft texture of the chocolate cake. Try it with ice cream.
A generous scoop of ice cream, accompanied by roasted almond chips was next. Even after we finished the last bit of it, we wondered about the flavour. We were tempted to ask for a second helping.
Our total bill for the night was $64.25, after 10% discount, for one appetizer, 2 pastas and dessert. I was more than satisfied by what it had offered us - hospitable service staff, quality yet affordable food, tranquil and cozy ambiance. Our dining experience here was overall a memorable one. As a dessert place, Sweet Indulgence lives up to its name. If you are looking for a romantic night out, no doubt this is the place.
I have marked this place down on my organizer.
