. . . Unfortunately that is about the best thing that I can say for this establishment. I had heard some good things about this restaurant, and gave it go during my last stay in Ipoh. The location is quiet and serene. It has a vintage colonial feel to it given that it is in a colonial styled house.The menu is a bit lengthy bordering on overwhelming for simple lunch or tea time, but even for dinner it is a bit of an intimidating menu. The food was ok - not great, but not horrible either. The prices for this food were on the high side.The service wasn't so good. We constantly had to go our of our way to get any server's attention. I am not sure why this is - they had enough to cover the approximately 10 to 15 tables sat for lunch. To add insult to injury, they forgot about our takeaway order (we ordered dishes for dine in and takeaway at the same time, and asked them to prepare them all at once so we wouldn't have to wait - we were on a time schedule to catch a flight).Overall the experience was just so-so. If this was the only place in Ipoh to eat, they it would rank better in my book; however, Ipoh is chock full of places to eat. Many of these other establishments may not have the ambience that STG has, but they deliver better food at a cheaper price with better service.For me, it's all about the total experience. STG failed in this endeavor with me.
