January Birthday

A wonderful evening spent in Alkaff Mansion at Telok Blangah Green.
The restaurant has re-opened under a new ownership and it serves Italian food.

It must have been more than 13 years since we have been to this place. CK has brought me to this place for lunch during dating time. CK's second brother also held his wedding in this place. Indeed, it has been quite memorable to come back to this beautiful place again.

I vividly remembered a very big fountain and grand stairs to this mansion. I thought that we might have missed this place as we walked up the mansion using another smaller entrance.






The grounds is beautiful. In fact, the whole place is clean and well-maintained now. Super-sized rocking chairs were scattered around the grounds which was quite delightful. Min was so happy that we were including her birthday with the adults. A happy birthday to Min too.

I loved this picture ... somehow Ry's pose brought out a "secret garden" feeling ...

Not so much of that feel now, nonetheless, still a nice shoot. Gav looked like a POW behind bars.

Add ImageThe classic and romantic gazebo ...

The gaintic rocking chairs have a certain charm on most patrons ... the adults loved it and the kids just loved the feeling of sitting on a chair so many times of their size !

The first floor of the restaurant. Simple and elegant furnishing with warm lightings.




The food presentations were beautiful despite the rather small servings. Nonetheless, the ingredients were fresh and the meat was nicely seasoned and pan-fried. Friends who ordered pastas got good review too.

A cake from Icing Room whereby you can decorate on a ready-baked cake. This lovely and beautiful cake was decorate by Fang and Gav.


A Happy Birthday to us ! And a big thank you for your treat !


We stayed till 11 plus before we departed this romantic premises.
