In The Bowl IPC Shopping Centre

The last time I actually have been inside IPC Shopping Centre was for their Smurfs Day Event (Smurfs Day Event At Ikano Power Centre) middle of last year. This time around, I was back again in IPC Shopping Centre to sample some good chinese rice and noodle dishes at the newly opened In The Bowl Cafe located on the lower ground floor.

In The Bowl is a hidden gem inside IPC Shopping Centre. We were served with a multitude of dishes that evening, and it was all good. Check out more of the dishes that we had that evening below. 

Marmite Chicken On Rice - RM8.90
#1 Marmite Chicken On Rice - RM8.90

In The Bowl itself is this rather nice outlet serving hot bowls of noodles and rice dishes. With a variety of flavours and meat, In The Bowl's signature dish and crowd favorite had to be the Marmite Chicken on Rice dish. The dish came with generous chunks of chicken doused in marmite sauce served in a bowl of rice with a sunny side up egg, I do agree it tastes good.

#2 Fish Katsudon on Rice - RM11.90

#3 Soup of the day consisting of pickled vegetables, taufu and meat

The Fish Katsudon on rice dish came with a layer of really delicious egg thingy on top with the fish fillet cutlet underneath. In between dishes we were served with In The Bowl's soup of the day, with pickled vegetables, taufu and chicken meat inside. 

Lemongrass Chicken on Rice - RM7.90
#4 Lemongrass Chicken on Rice - RM7.90
Black Pepper Chicken on Rice
#5 Black Pepper Chicken on Rice

After having their signature dish the Marmite Chicken, the next couple of chicken dishes that came out just didn't kick it. We had the Lemongrass Chicken as well as the Black Pepper Chicken which was okay to me, not great though. 

Chicken Tomyum Soup with Rice - RM9.90
#6 Chicken Tomyum Soup with Rice - RM9.90

The Chicken Tomyum Soup came with enough ingredients to really fire up our tastebuds. We had prawns, mushrooms, and various vegetables in the soup. Most important in any tomyum soup would be the base itself, and In The Bowl did it just right. 

Next up, these dishes below were new additions to In The Bowl's menu. Unfortunately I did not get the information on their prices, so let me just share with you the pictures for now.

It was nice to note that on top of rice and noodle dishes, In The Bowl do provide snacks for those who rather go for some light bites instead of a heavy meal. This was the time where I had the chance to indulge in some nice deep fried chicken skin, to the chagrin of Janice who tried to stop me from taking too much. 

Crispy Chicken Skin - RM3.90
#9 Crispy Chicken Skin - RM3.90
Fried Squid Ring - RM6.90
#10 Fried Squid Ring - RM6.90
Fried Boxing Chicken (Chicken Drummets) - RM5.90
#11 Fried Boxing Chicken (Chicken Drummets) - RM5.90

I did enjoy snacking on the chicken drummets and fried squid rings. Overall In The Bowl is a pretty good place to dine in should you happen to find yourself shopping in IPC Shopping Centre. Again, do check out their Marmite Chicken and if you don't mind the extra cholesterol, order the crispy Chicken Skin to munch on. Hello big stomach, goodbye slim figure.

  13. I like small unpretentious places like this - usually food is good and not so pricey. I do wish they would not use those metal rings to fry the eggs though... I love the golden crispy edges.
