There's this restaurant called 32 The Mansion near E&O Hotel; actually it's on the left before reaching E&O Hotel. Gosh I don't know what is the road name, just know how to get there. This is the building's exterior. Looks grand eh? It's a colonial building by the sea.We had dinner there before the mid-autumn day, to celebrate MIL's and hubby's birthday. Yeah, their birthday is just one day apart.
This is a shot of the restaurants interior. It's dimly lit, have a romantic ambience don't you think?
They serve western food as well asian dish(es). Well the asian dish I know is crab meat laksa, which is one of their specialties. It tastes somewhat like siamese laksa with crab meat in it. I like the six-spice chicken, nicely roasted, very fragrant and the meat is tender and juicy.
They serve ala-carte as well as set menus. The set dinner comes with salad as starter, soup of the day, main course of your choice, cake of your choice as dessert and then coffee or tea. The price of the set depends on the main course one chooses.
This is another section of the restaurant with different decor. It looks brighter before sun set due to the glass panels and looks out to the sea. A very nice view.
We've attended a friend's wedding reception here and it was simply lovely. The food spread was nice and the guests were free to mingle around, unlike the traditional chinese course dinner where one is confined to sitting at the table.
I didn't post up photos of the food because I'm not doing a food review here. The place is suitable for dating as well as for families (since they do have baby chairs).
