Visiting
the
outlet
at
Tanjong
Pagar
on
23
Nov
2021
with
a
little
apprehensive
notion
that
most
indonesian
restaurants
have
much
less
expected
service
(not
sure
if
it
is
because
of
our
native
or
that
is
not
just
a
thing
with
indo
restaurants
in
Singapore).
In
any
case,
we
came
because
we
wanted
to
try
some
food
that
we
get
used
to,
though
not
that
we
miss
it,
it's
just
kind
familiar
taste
(we
are
indeed
more
used
to
local
food
with
-
some
people
say
-
'bland'
taste
which
my
family,
who's
been
living
in
Singapore
for
16
years,
refuse
to
accept.
In
any
case,
we
do
not
be
on
any
side,
once
in
a
blue
moon,
taking
Indonesian
food
in
Singapore
is
fine,
especially
because
of
the
'adjusted'
spices,
toward
local
taste-bud
:)
Surprisingly
this
branch
of
IndoChili
has
one
lady
who
surprised
us
with
nice
and
friendly
gesture
since
we
stood
waiting
outside
the
restaurant.
Almost
2pm,
lots
of
tables
had
not
been
cleaned
yet,
we
did
not
know
one
part
of
the
restaurant
will
be
closed
(lit
off),
probably
staff
will
have
a
break
before
serving
dinner?
not
sure.
Anyway,
the
lady
requested
us
to
sit
a
little
outside,
which
I
and
family
did
not
accept
well
the
place
of
the
table
and
I
asked
her,
'is
there
any
table
inside?'
and
she
quickly
said
'oh
many
are
not
cleaned
yet'
&
pointed
her
finger
to
the
part
which
I
was
not
aware
it
will
be
closed,
she
said
again
'and
that
part,
the
light
will
be
off
soon'.
In
our
hearts,
why
so?
just
clean
up
the
table
and
why
you
turn
off
the
light?
without
knowing
that
probably
they
will
have
a
break.
Soon
I
realized,
the
lady
by
the
name
DOREEN
was
the
only
one
does
the
cleaning!
She
did
heed
my
request
and
while
we
sat
outside,
she
kept
saying,
'I
give
you
this
table',
pointing
to
a
table
located
inside
although
not
the
ones
further
inside
that
will
be
closed.
Afterwards,
she
served
us
well,
being
so
nice
and
friendly.
Besides,
when
we
made
payment,
we
asked
whether
the
food
is
cooked
with
MSG
and
she
succesfully
convinced
us
that
it
is
not,
btu
beyond
that,
we
believe
it
is
a
true
statement.
We
kind
of
dislike
Indonesian
food
due
to
its
strong
spices
+
commonly
with
lots
of
MSG,
because
the
spices
themselves
will
have
already
enhance
the
taste
and
why
need
to
add
MSG
to
enhance
it
again?
Anyway,
not
IndoChili
I
guess,
their
food
is
typical
Indonesian
food
but
with
good
variations
(we
had:
Lontong
Cap
Goh
Meh,
Soto
Ayam
Lamongan,
Bakwan
Jagung,
and
of
course
kerupuk
which
was
complementary
but
we
bought
4
package
more,
since
it
is
without
MSG
too:)
We
are
going
back
there
again
soon
for
dinner,
but
the
one
attracts
us
the
most
is
the
service
for
sure
which
at
least
debunk
my
apprehensiveness
at
the
beginning.
We
do
not
ask
to
be
served
as
'somebody',
but
a
good
service
will
definitely
bring
good
sales,
even
the
product
may
not
be
as
perfect,
which
is
not
the
case
either
for
IndoChili.
Once
again,
I
&
family
would
like
to
commend
Doreen
for
her
dedication
working
in
this
place,
going
through
the
low
season
during
pandemic
whereby
many
other
restaurants
are
struggling,
but
she
is
still
with
IndoChili,
though
quite
a
hard
work
to
be
on
her
own
during
busy
time
on
the
day
we
came,
but
she
mentioned
that
she
has
been
with
the
company
for
some
years
(5?
if
I
remember
correctly)
and
she
served
us
with
great
attitude
and
not
only
us,
she
did
it
to
other
patrons
as
far
as
we
could
notice.
She
was
also
with
another
staff,
Zaf
(if
we
caught
the
name
correctly).
We
appreciate
their
service,
that
although
the
branch
was
about
to
close
for
a
short
break,
our
order
was
in
order,
beside
one
orange
juice
which
was
supposed
to
be
hot,
but
it
wasn't
a
biggie.
As
I
mentioned,
service
always
comes
the
top
when
we
look
for
a
place
to
eat,
regardless
the
over-the-top
taste
of
the
food,
if
the
service
is
"CMI"
(can
not
make
it),
we
often
never
come
back,
unless
some
friends
invite
us
or
we
have
no
other
choice.
Kudos
to
Doreen
and
the
team!
She
indeed
deserves
a
raise
or
at
least
appreciation
from
the
owner
:)
