Live jazz has stopped? Seriously?! That can’t be good. The place is rather quiet even on a Saturday evening, from what I heard.

I love jazz music…esp live Jazz.

I went to check out this place. Food is rather small portion and nothing to shout about. Live jazz music has currently stopped until further notice. What a disappointment! This place has lost its signature.

Suave Elle, thanks for sharing with us readers on what is bad at Gossip.

But to the extent of starting your comment with ‘Please don’t go to this place.’ is a bit too critical.

We will definitely avoid those food you have commented or even try it out ourselves if it is really that horrible.

Good point Suave Elle. I am sure the owners will treasure feedback, positive AND negative ones.

Chris and William, I am not a competitor, I am just a normal person who goes around Ipoh, finding good places to eat. I am not even in the food line.

It was a disappointing trip there and I am sure the waiters themselves know who I am, because when we did not finish the food served and about to leave, one waiter even asked me why. Please don’t simply accuse others for giving their honest feedback. If the place is good, I will certainly recommend. What is the point of lying?

You sound more like the ‘owners’ then people who just give their honest feedback on Ipoh food.

Hi Grace,

Thanks for the feedback. This is shocking.
And to begin with, no. This was not a paid review, nor even an invited one.
They were not aware of our presence or why I was happily clicking around.

The Sang Har Mein we had was good, not exceptionally good but definitely one of the better ones in Ipoh.
Fresh prawns (two of them) and noodles that was bouncy and served in sauce that was sumptuous too.

The soup was forgettable, but the chicken rice was above average like how I wrote.

It’s a jarring difference comparing your experience to mine, as yes, I do agree that Western food in Ipoh might be lacking compared to 5-star hotel fares in KL, Singapore or even in European countries. But there are good ones that have stayed strong until today.

If Gossip Jazz wishes to stay in business, and there are many cafes closing just as rapidly as they opened,
having a top notch live jazz band ain’t gonna cut it. Quality of the food must be there, coupled with excellent service.

Once again, reputation tarnished or not, I stand by my views during the first visit, Grace. Maybe a second visit would be timely.
