Get Your Italian Gourmet Cravings Fixed At Alkaff Mansion Ristorante Today!

| |
Hi Huneybees,


If you are looking for an memorable dining place at an exclusive, posh looking, location and yet doesn't want to burnt holes in your pockets, Alkaff Mansion Ristorante may just be that ideal place for you and your love one to spent that special evening.

Alkaff Mansion is as elegant in the Day as at Night since restoration completed in 1990.
Standing majestic on the hill top of Telok Blangah Hill Park is an elegant colonial bungalow built in 1918 by a member of the prominent Alkaff family to host grand parties for the social elite, Alkaff Mansion Ristorante has both the history and ambiance that makes it the perfect spot for a fine dining experience.

This may be the reason why this place has received many wedding and event bookings (such as Birthday Celebration) over the years since the Italian restaurant opened to much fanfare in December 2011.




Back to the subject of a good dinner, a new Monthly Italian Gourmet Buffet has been offered by Alkaff Mansion Ristorante to satisfy your Italian gourmet cravings. Bringing together some of the popular dishes from the Sunday Prosecco Brunch as well as the scrumptious Italian Grigliata Grill + Bar at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante, the Italian Gourmet Buffet dinner is available only on the third Thursday of the month.

Wagyu Beef Carpaccio
Perfect for families seeking a mid-week break from preparing dinner at home, as well as couples or groups of friends that prefer an alternative and relaxed setting to a great Thursday evening, the Italian Gourmet Buffet dinner offers popular antipasti such as Wagyu Beef Carpaccio and a wide variety of premium Italian Cold Cuts would be available in the buffet spread.

Octopus Carpaccio with Oranges and Balsamic Reduction
If you prefer seafood antipasti, you can expect delicious selections such as Octopus Carpaccio with Oranges and Balsamic Reduction, Scottish Salmon Carpaccio with Caviar Dressing and Coffin Bay Oysters to start off your meal at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante.

If you are a beef lover like the Queen Bee herself, you would enjoyed both the juicy Beef Tenderloin that will melt in your mouth and the 36-hour Marinated Beef Striploin that is just so tender and so delicious.

Lamb Rack with Sardinian Vermentino
For me, who prefers grills, the delicious Lamb Rack with Sardinian Vermentino and the fresh Grilled Sardinian Octopus are just the perfect food for a perfect evening in the perfect company!

At $98++ for adults and $48++ for children (5-12 years old), the Italian Gourmet Buffet is definitely worth every single penny (cents!) of mine, considering the quality and variety of Italian gourmet served by highly trained staff in such a lovely ambiance makes this dining experience unmatched anywhere else in Singapore.

Do note that the regular a la carte menu would not be available on the evening of the Italian Gourmet Buffet.


Buon appetito!

Brunch At The New Quayside Saint Pierre

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Saint Pierre has officially shifted into the attractive and idyllic precinct of Quayside Isle at Sentosa Island. Veering away from the usual over-priced French Cuisine dining scene, Chef/Owner Emmanuel Stroobant and Chef-de-Cuisine Daniel Grobnik has come together to provide high-quality French Cuisine with affordable price points. They are focusing on organic produce as well as seafood and vegetarian options for patrons.


The main change to the menu would have to the Saturday Brunch. I got to try the Saturday Brunch out before the restaurant is officially opened and all I can say is combining delicious food and great ambiance, Saint Pierre is my new fav for brunch dates with hubby.

Chef/Owner Emmanuel Stroobant
The kitchen of Saint Pierre.
Available every Saturday from 11.30am to 3pm, the brunch menu revisits classic breakfast mainstays with a twist. I like that with the price of $38++ per person, you can enjoy the full set of refreshing fruit choice, main course, assorted bread basket and a cup of warm coffee/tea.




With the dishes as the main stars, the design of the restaurant was kept simply elegant with earthy and soothing tones, allowing maximum sunlight in whilst we dined by the pier, watching yachts come and go.


Introducing a few dishes that we tried that day. And as mentioned, when you order the set menu, you will get a basket full of homemade assorted breads - Brioche, Croissants, Breads, paired with homemade jam and farmed butter and a dash of salt to wake up those sleep taste buds of yours.


The Eggs Benedict - Eggs, Brioche, Iberico Ham, Champagne Hollandaise, would have to be one of their signature must-haves. Eat it while it's hot and your mouth would a melting volcano of egg yolk that tasted well with the slightly salt-ish Iberico Ham.



If you are not a fan of Eggs Benedict, you can also try their Scrambled Eggs or Eggs Florentine.


My favourite would have to be the Beef Parmentier - Homemade Corned Beef, Mashed Potato, Truffle Brunoise. Served in a palm size pan, the soft mashed potato that melts right in your mouth, tasted heavenly with the beef and truffle slices. It's a luxurious meal for the morning and I'm loving it.


I also shared the Smoked Salmon (Home-Smoked Salmon, Sourdough, Wild Chives and Lemon Juice) with hubby. We are both fans of smoked salmon, but nothing beats the one done in Saint Pierre. You can still taste the "charcoal" in the salmon slice and the lemon juice enhanced it even more. However, I find that to have this as main course was a little too!

P.S. There is an optional choice of adding 30g Schrenkii Malossol Caviar for an additional $118.


A dish that you can't find it elsewhere, would have to the Waffle. It is no ordinary syrup top waffle. This comes with Foie Gras Mousse, Apple Compote and Vanilla Beans! A 5 star breakfast dish that I got to try at Savour 2012 and 2013, which I never fail to have. The foie gras together with the sweet apple compote is not overpowering and in fact, I never feel sick eating them!


If you are fans of cheese and looking for something light to start the day, you can also have the Goat Cheese or Cheese Platter, paired with nuts, fruits and arlettes. 


After the hearty brunch, I even got to take a walk along the marina, whilst hubby indulged in his photography. The Quayside Isle is a great place to really chill out and relief all the stress you have bored throughout the week.






Another new permanent addition to the Saint Pierre menu would hae to the English Sunday Roast. It is a all-you-can-eat semi-buffet that offers patrons a selection of 3 choice roasts and a variety of salads and sides, as well as a dessert spread to end the meal.
