fine-dining in ipoh and harry potter finale

it was birthday celebration part 2 according to those buying me dinner yesterday. hehehe.....and what a good yummy dinner it was. and oh, it was followed with harry potter finale movie after that. i had a very good night indeed.

this is the place where we had dinner. it was the old parkson complex in ipoh. i cannot tell you the exact location and address because i was directed there by my co-drivers hahaha.

The interior is kinda cosy and comfortable. i think this is quite unique for ipoh standard. some thoughts have definitely been put in designing the place.

there are 3 different sections in the restaurant-outside al-fresco, dining and bistro/bar. they seem to have sufficient bottles of wine for those who like a glass or two after dinner.

we were the first there in the evening, arrived before 6p.m. the food was kinda slow to arrive at the table although we were the only diners there.
the quality of food served is not bad at all. we ordered wild mushroom soup, chemoura marinated lamb cutlets, marinated steak, josephine chicken, roasted salmon with cauliflower (pathetic amount of cauliflower despite the name of the dish associated with the vege) and meat spaghettini. like the side vege given which includes pineapple slices. really help in easing digestion.
i enjoyed the food and the ambience there and it won't be the last time i am there. but i am keen to check other so called fine-dining places in ipoh. it is much easier going to these places in ipoh than in kl.

so if anyone has any suggestions, do drop them here.

as for harry potter finale, i love it. although it was quite difficult at times to recall what they were talking about as i had forgotten what i read in the book, it was still a gripping plot. i guess the movie stayed quite true to the book and fans will definitely not be disappointed. i won't mind sittting once more for all the movies in a movie marathon.
haha..i counted before i slept yesterday that it would take more than 16 hours to sit through all the 8 movies. if only someone would organise it and prepare all the food and comfy sofas.
