Feels Like I'm in Paris. iMiirage Restaurant, Ipoh.

Hello readers! I'm in the writing mood again today, Thank God. I have bunch of topics lined up but was too lazy to open my laptop. But then if I don't I probably never will. Just last week I was celebrating ND's 36th birthday. It's the 4th time we've been celebrating his birthday together. I've always dreaming of taking him to some place nice like a beach holiday or something like that, or maybe a fancy candlelight dinner. I thought of doing that this year but since he himself wasn't sure if he's going to be around during his birthday, so I decided not to book anything in advance or else... (Yeah baby, I know you are reading this, you've just missed Krabi). But then I've managed to arrange something at the last minute, nice enough to treat him for his sweet 36. It wasn't a fairytale romantic dinner or anything, but it was quite a nice night we've had.
ND was jumping when I asked him if he wants to go to Tambun's Hotspring for his birthday. So we've decided to go to Ipoh, Perak. Then I thought maybe I could treat him to a nice dinner, so I tried to search for a fancy restaurant. It's amazing what you can find on google these days. After few readings, I've decided to give this one place a try. 

iMiirage restaurant, located at Ipoh Soho. Few reasons why actually. First, because it is well known for its ambience dining experience, through their 270 degree LED video projection (got this from their website) where you can feel the experience of dining surrounded by an aquarium or the view of Paris City, which was my favourite. And since ND do 360 degree virtual tours I thought this could be funny. Second reason was I love, LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that they provide online reservation services that works. And the best thing is you can order your food in advance at 25% off, from the complete menu, settle all the payment with special request and everything, only at their website. I heard they have mobile apps too. Technology. It's so awesome. And the third reason was it's one of the most romantic dinner place you can find in Ipoh. There's not much choice, it's a small city.

So I ordered a three course meal for ND which consisted of salad, main course (lamb), dessert (ice cream) and a drink. And I ordered pasta for myself and a drink. I sent them a special request for a birthday cake for ND. The food was really really good. All of them, with no flaws. The portion was enough for us, we finished everything. Sorry I don't have the pictures of all the dishes, we were starving, we ate so fast we didn't remember to take any pictures of them. The service was fine, the staffs were friendly, and I like that the place was very quiet.

There's two ambiences playing that night, the aquarium and the Paris view. It changes I think every 20 minutes or so. I like the Paris view. The aquarium was a bit weird. Too blue for me.

And then the best part happened. They brought a slice of cake with candle and a happy birthday song was playing from the audio in the dining room. ND was so shocked and shy, that was the best moment of the night.

All these experience cost me about MYR 130, for the food and drinks and dessert and they also gave ND a little flower soap as a birthday present. This place is worth checking out, recommended for a romantic dinner and special occasions.

That is all for now. Don't know when I'm going to have the mood for writing again but I will definitely see you soon in the next thread.
