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.
