Sweet Indulgence?

Decided to check out Sweet Indulgence on Stanley Street after seeing it in HGW's interesting places to visit in July.
Well, unfortunately it wasn't gonna be a good day to visit, it seems..Called up at 2+ pm to check if they were still available for late lunch, the person on the other end was like "er.. yah?" I specifically asked (twice) if it would serve lunch all the way till dinner time, maybe I still wasn't clear enough.

When I got there, the waitress informed me that lunch was over. (what??!)

I decided to come back for dinner since the specialities still sounded interesting, me being a seafood fan reading about Mussels and Seafood. Plus, the tiramisu was said to be a must try. (i lOOOve tiramisu)

Dinnertime and I returned. The place was quiet and cosy, creating a rather relaxed ambience.

We ordered
Mussels in White wine sauce
Lamb Shank
Spaghetti with spicy prawns

Mussels were great, fresh and the white wine sauce so was just so tasty.
Lamb shank was great when it arrived on our table, but towards the end, it just seemed to have lost its flavour (I don't know why). The mashed potato that came along wasn't too spectacular either, the sauce was slightly strange.

Spaghetti with spicy prawns? There was nothing spicy about it, not a flake of chilli or anything that might have made me feel it was even a tad spicy. Perhaps it should have just been named Prawns Aglio Olio.

Sweet? Not for me, not today. The tiramisu was not available, that was a real let-down, and not being informed about the lunch hour even when I called, not good.

Overall, the mussels were the only things I would miss, but probably not enough to return.
