Wine Mansion, Keong Saik Road

This post is long overdue and I can't believe I missed blogging about Wine Mansion. It was probably one of the best discoveries for someone who loves to eat and drink. 

Situated along the happening Keong Saik Road, Wine Mansion is a quiet little wine place tucked along the busy street. We called to make a reservation and were thankful that we did because the place was crowded through the night. It was a Wednesday so we indulged in Ladies Night with free flow red, white and sparking wines at $25++. Best deal ever. The Wine Mansion was dim and quaint, very suitable for a nice romantic date with your other half. 


The menu was extensive and we were so spoiled for choice because everything sounded good. We eventually settled for Hummus ($8), Sauteed Mushrooms ($5) and Crispy Pork Knuckle ($28).



Hummus was all right but sadly not one of the best I've tried before. Even though the hummus was smooth and creamy, there was a weird aftertaste in it. The sauteed mushrooms were awesome! Tossed in garlic and herbs, the mushrooms were fragrant and juicy. Perfect. 



The Crispy Pork Knuckle was good but too big for two ladies with dwindling appetites. It was indeed crispy and tasty but we had trouble trying to saw through the entire big knuckle. 


After all the food and several glasses of wine each, we decided we should have something sweet and chose the Molten Lava Cake with vanilla ice cream. Pretty good end to the meal and the chocolate did flow out steadily like lava in the cake.


I would recommend this place for those who love their wines. It is a good place for a nice date because it is quiet and you can have a decent conversation with your partner. Service was a bit patchy as there was only one guy running around the whole night trying to serve all the tables in Wine Mansion. He did try his best though and was attentive when there were less people later in the night.

Update: I went back to Wine Mansion for drinks and snacks because I had dinner at Muchachos next door. We ordered the truffle fries, sauteed mushrooms (because I am dead in love with their sauteed mushrooms), and a bottle of Muscato. Truffle fries were good, crispy and thick, and the sauteed mushrooms were awesome as usual. I have to say the service was fantastic that night. The guy who was running around alone previously was now assisted by a young lady. Evidently, two serving staff was much better than one and service was very good that night!
