Exceptional restaurants deserve their own post. We'd wanted to go to a nice place for lunch the week before Ter went home to NYC. Since he managed to take half day leave, we picked a place with lunch special (:
Alkaff Mansion is really fancy Italian restaurant perched on a hill. The 3 course lunch menu was 42++ which is a good deal considering that just one item costs about that price for dinner.
Focaccia Bread and breadsticks with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The sad thing for me is that Italian restaurants don't do butter ): It has become somewhat of a joke with Ter, because I root for French food, and he, Italian.
Mushroom soup with truffle oil. This was quite heavenly, the truffle oil was drizzled generously all over, and the consistency was as thick as a paste, chock full of mushroom bits!!!
Ter's colourful octopus which he described as a burst of flavour
Ter's duck ravioli which looks ugly but tastes good. The only thing he complained about was that he would have liked a chunkier filling to give him something to bite.
Hazelnut Napolitan!!! SO AMAZING
The quality of food, service and ambiance was top notch. It's no wonder that Alkaff is a top restaurant in Singapore, definitely a place to go when there's a special occasion. And if you can make it for the set lunch, even better!!!
Happy and full and probably rounder hahah
