Indulge Review: Huge Cheesy Chicken Cutlet Bowls With Truffle Mushrooms And More
Indulge offers cafe-style food at a kopitiam Western food stalls are a dime a dozen in Singapore, but I hardly find one that makes me want to return. Opened in January this year, the hawker stall at Upper Thomson offers a handful of classics as well as dishes you wouldn’t expect to find at a kopitiam – think oysters, s…
Food at Indulge What makes Indulge stand out from regular Western hawker stalls is their Indulge Bowl. First up, we tried their Chicken Cutlet Bowl with Nacho Cheese ($4 for small, $6.50 for large) .
This comprises a huge chicken cutlet, a poached egg, and truffle popcorn on a bed of short grain rice. The chicken cutlet was served sliced, with loads of nacho cheese drizzled over it.
While the nacho cheese tasted similar to the ones at cinemas, it complemented the chicken surprisingly well, giving savour to the otherwise plain cutlet. If cheese is not your thing, you can go for salted egg yolk sauce at the same price.
The truffle mushrooms helped to add more texture to the mix, but I couldn’t taste much truffle oil in them.

We even got an additional full portion of Truffle Popcorn ($4) just to have more.
The bowl comes with a mix of sweet and salty flavours, with a strong truffle scent. Another bowl we tried was the White Clams Bowl with Hae Bee Hiam Sauce ($5 for small, $8 for large) , with an add-on of grilled Salmon ($6) .
The salmon, drizzled with teriyaki sauce, was tasty, but not really a standout compared to the other dishes. Their Chicken Chop Bowl with Mushroom Sauce ($4 for small, $6.50 for large) is worth a mention.
We got the small portion for this, which isn’t quite filling for a regular eater. There are many more dishes on Indulge’s menu, including Fresh Oysters ($15 for six pieces), Chicken Wings ($1.50 per piece) and Takoyaki ($3 for six pieces) .
Ambience at Indulge Indulge is found in the corner kopitiam that’s in the same row as Rochor Beancurd House and Columbus Coffee at Upper Thomson Road. Before proceeding to collect your food at the kitchen window at the side, you have to make your orders at the counter.
The kopitiam is generally breezy and bright, making this a good place to jio a few kakis for a quick meal before heading to one of the ice-cream cafes nearby for dessert. The verdict While Indulge’s rice bowls aren’t as fancy as the ones at Daily Cut and Grain Traders, they are way more affordable and still enough to satisfy.
