Set against lush greenery, Alkaff Mansion is no longer a secret since the iconic Karl Lagerfeldt graced this humble abode with his presence to launch the recent Chanel collection.
There have been constant mixed reviews however, about how the experience fared.
If not for restaurant week, it might have taken sooner for me to drag my lazy ass here. Given the very reasonable price tag of 40++ for a 3 course meal, the food was enjoyable even though it would be more the ambience if return for.
Here's the verdict on the restaurant week menu
Starter: the seafood ravioli was more tuna than seafood and slightly too fishy for our liking. I did however like the tomato sauce which boasted a sweetness to balance out the flavour of the tuna.
Main: I surprised myself with this choice given my recent distaste for beef. The short ribs was tender and the taste not too cloying but the sauce overpowered the dish too much. So much so that the taste of the potato was completely covered.
Dessert: The highlight of my night, the dessert was sweet without being too much. I liked the smooth velvety texture of the white choc and coffee parfait and the lingering sweetness. I would come back just for this dessert.
All in all, a fair start to restaurant week!
