Wine Mansion (Keong Saik)

Food was awesome needless to say free flow wine makes it better. The pork belly was good esp with the crispy n yet not oily crust and goes very well with the mustard n pickled vege. The cream artichoke was great with the bread. Beef capacious was not bad either. Nice ambience for small chats

Found a nice cafe/restaurant at Keong Saik and this place is super date night worthy!! 😻 This place is so nice and chill even on a weekday night @wine_mansion

• Vongole: 8.8/10
This plate of pasta was so well done - the freshness of the clams paired nicely with the white wine base, garlic and onions. The nicely charred bacon also provided both texture and a nice tinge of umami flavour. The sauce was further elevated with the use of chilli which provided a nice kick. Side note: not sure if we were hungrier that day but the portion was a lil small for my friend and I oops

• Truffle fries: 9.2/10
This is a side dish that often sounds basic and is either a hit or miss, but ok so glad that the one we had was amazing. The fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and the potato inside was sooo good as the fries weren’t too thin. The truffle flavour encapsulates every piece of fries superbly well, and I didn’t even need the aioli (given at the side) 💯👌

• Dark Choc Lava Cake: 8.5/10
Got this as a birthday cake for my friend and it really screams dark choc. The oozy and fudgy filling was so on point that my video (3rd pic) was shaky HAHAHA. Also really enjoyed their homemade ice cream at the side although it melted really quickly 🤩

• Red Wine, Beer: 8/10
The red wine paired very nicely with the vongole I was having! Then, we had beer 🍻 together with the truffle fries and I also had another glass of red wine 🍷 to end off the night

Stir well before eating, as all the numbing spice of mala Sichuan / Szechuan peppercorn lies at the bottom of the dish.
.
Each mouth of the soft linguine pasta noodles carries a sharp fiery kick, and the shredded tender lamb meat spiced with black pepper lend greater savoury salty spice notes.
.
Fortunately, the fiery burn isn't too intense, and fades quickly, akin to a 'xiao la' (less spicy) version of the dish.

One of my usual hangout. The free flow nights are worth it (wed is ladies night at $25. Mon and thu is free flow for all at $35.). Prawn cake, fried chicken, beef carpaccio, white baits. All good. I think the winning factor is the service.

The price is $12, excluding 10% service charge and 7% GST. It is so good. There is also free flow water.

Still captivated by the wide variety of lip-smacking food here at @wine_mansion at 26 Keong Saik Rd (shifted 3 units down)! Especially loved their Pulled Pork Bun ($10++), Seafood Cioppino ($28++) which comes with a full lobster, and Baked Spinach with Bechamel & Cheese ($9++). ❤❤❤

Highly recommend the Spicy Mala Pepper Lamb ($16++) at @wine_mansion! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 With a nice spicy kick 🌶, the spice level is actually pretty manageable (though it looks unforgiving) so you do not have to worry about having to gulp down gallons of water. 👌🏻 The distinctive flavours of mala did come through with the use of peppercorns, which really whets my appetite. 🤤🤤🤤 The peppers also cleverly masks any gamey taste of the lamb, making the tender meats very pleasant-tasting! 💕
.
I would personally prefer the pasta to be of a firmer bite but the sauce that coats the pasta strands so beautifully more than made up for it. 😍😍😍 Every bite was so rich & flavourful that I kept going for more! 👏🏻
.
Their Garlic Base Aglio Olio ($15++) was decent too - generous amount of ingredients such as ham & mushrooms 🍄, topped with some savoury grated cheese 🧀. Stir it up & enjoy the aromatic garlicky flavours that the pasta brings! 😋

One look & you’ll know that this Seafood Cioppino ($28++) would be undoubtedly one of the most (if not the most) charming dish on the table at @wine_mansion! 😍😍😍 That gigantic LOBster donning a coat of bold red simply got all of us captivated by its beauty! ❤
.
Featuring a FULL lobster with chunky & firm flesh 🦞 that boasts of natural sweetness, chewy clams & springy prawns 🦐 that do not pale in comparison, this was indeed a seafood paradise for those who enjoy their crustaceans. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 The broth is an embodiment of all the essence of these fresh seafood - tastes exactly like lobster bisque! 🤤 The umami flavours was pretty rich, which some may cite seafood fishiness but it was totally acceptable for me. 👌🏻
.
Pro-tip: Dip their sourdough bread 🥖 in the broth & enjoy the seafood goodness! 💕

It was a MEATilicious affair at @wine_mansion! 😍 Carnivorous diners out there, you would be spoilt for choice with their wide selection of meat (tapas), kebabs, sharing plates & sandwiches/wraps/buns! 🤤🤤🤤 That one dish that really stood out for me was the Pulled Pork Bun ($10++). 🍔
.
The buttery sesame buns carried a rather crusty exterior from toasting while remaining soft & fluffy inside, which was a winner for me! 💯 While not the most succulent, the pulled pork was extremely well-marinated & flavoured 🐷, complementing the buns really well especially when paired with some crunchy greens. 🥬 Add some mayo for an even more luscious mouthfeel, or reserve that for the generous amount of accompanying fries. ✌🏻
.
The Braised Lamb Shank ($18++) shocked me with its chunky meat 🐑, but surprisingly they were rather tender. Not fall-off-the-bone but certainly pull-apart tender. 👍🏻 The fresh herbs & mint masks most of the gamey taste of the lamb so this should be good for most people! 💚 Comes with a side of pita wraps – I like my meats in a wrap!
.
Those who adore beef can go for their Sliced Beef ($18++) 🥩. Served with fresh herbs & gremolata which also takes away the heavy meaty flavours, it doesn’t take much jaw power to devour these beef slices that are cut to a decent thickness. 👌🏻 If you’re looking to complete your meal with this, you can add on a side of Olive Rice ($2.50), Sour Dough ($3.50) or Sesame Bread ($2.50) 🍞. Those who are cutting down on carbs can opt for Carrot & Celery ($4). ✔
.
Had too much mEAT? Perhaps it’s time for a sweet trEAT instead! ❤❤❤ Sundae Mess ($9++) may not look luxurious like those over-the-top milkshakes but it sure exceeded my expectations! Featuring vanilla ice cream 🍦 with cheesecake chunks, chocolate drizzle 🍫 & some strawberry cubes 🍓, the savoury & tangy tones amidst the sweetness made the dessert a pleasant one. 😋

Absolutely in love with this spread at Wine MANSION! ❤❤❤ Opened at the bustling Keong Saik Rd since 2010, @wine_mansion will be relocating; thankfully just 3 units down to 26 Keong Saik Road so you can still pop by the same area for a feast! 😉
.
Let’s start with some starters! ✌🏻 Accompanied by a basket of sourdough, it is difficult to not have your eyes drawn to their Burrata Cheese with Tomatoes & Basil ($18++) owing of its unique presentation! 😍😍😍 Squeeze that syringe of basil sauce into perfect ball of cheese & you’ll get a Boomerang/video-worthy moment of ‘lava’ flow when you cut open your cheese! 🧀
.
Crispy White Bait with Aioli & Lemon ($9++) was an absolute crowd pleaser! 💕 The aroma & crunch of fried food are simply too alluring! With a tinge of citrusy notes from the lemon squeeze 🍋, the accompanying aioli dip renders a tangy-sweet taste & creamy dimension to the fried white bait with powdered seasoning which is already good on its own. 😋😋😋 This is super addictive - you’ve been warned!
.
If you’re a fan of savoury treats, Prosciutto Parma Ham ($16++) will be your thing. 👌🏻 Do not attempt to eat it on its own as they are extremely salty - pair it with the side of grilled tomatoes 🍅, onions or radish with their crusty bread 🥖 & you’ll be delighted with the intense burst of flavours that these tender-soft slices bring.
.
Talking about favourites, mine would have to be their Baked Spinach with Béchamel & Cheese ($9++). 💯 Well, there is absolutely no unpleasant smell or taste of vegetables to speak of! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The spinach 🥬 has been well-incorporated into a luscious creamy mixture with milky béchamel & savoury cheese 🧀 that imparts an alluring fragrance when the top layer is torched from the bake. Spread it generously on their sourdough & my smiles are as wide as saying CHEESEEEEE already! 🤤🤤🤤
.
Lots of choices to munch on before your exciting mains arrive! 🤩 Are you tempted yet? More reviews on the mains will be coming up so stay tuned!

Thank you @kpenpgl @singaporefoodlisting for the invite & @wine_mansion for the yummy food! 😘😘😘

If date night's round the corner, put this winehouse cum restaurant housed along Keong Saik Road on your list! To pair with your wines, the perfectly grilled and juicy kebabs are definite must-orders, with options such as Lamb ($16) and Beef ($16). Also not to be missed are the addictive Parmesan Fries ($5.90).

Burpple deal was good for kebabs and pastas - got the beef kebab ($16) and lamb kebab ($16) together with the truffle Parmesan fries! Came in on a Friday night and Was lucky to come in on the oyster promo as well (half dozen for $12) which can be used tgt with the burpple promo.

Wine was also $5 a glass for house pours up till 8pm.

The food was fantastic - kebabs cooked perfectly with tender meats. If I could nitpick, possibly the only thing was that the fries were a little overcooked. Definitely will return :)

Good cosy ambience perfect for a relaxing dinner and drinks after work. The establishment serves decent wine at $5 a pop during happy hours which is definitely a steal. Food were decent with average size servings. Check out below for in depth review

This is from Wine Mansion at Keong Saik, a cozy chillout & drinking place you will enjoy with your friends! Bulk of their food carries a sour sweetness, but mainly to go along with the wines they carry in shop.
As a dining partner of @the_entertainer241, all entertainer users are able to enjoy food promotions (listed on the entertainer app) here.
Thanks to @the_entertainer241 team for bringing us around to taste awesome food today! It was a fun session and we enjoyed the wine and dine throughout.

Glazed with maple tomato sauce and served with pasta and homemade pureslaw.
.
The exterior is charred, crisp with combination of slight bitterness with sweet maple tomato sauce glaze. The flesh is juicy, succulent and well marinated. Yum yum.
.
The pasta is al-dente and the pureslow is crunchy and helps to balance the fattiness in this dish.
