A walk 'round the neighbourhood III - Alkaff Mansion Ristorante

We passed by the recently-opened Alkaff Mansion Ristorante during one of our neighbourhood walks (on the way to the Henderson Waves the previous time) and thought to visit before we move away from the area.

And so we went last weekend. We only brought Christian, and the waiters were so impressed that he could keep relatively quiet and was not running around the restaurant. They passed comments to each other "Next time, I want my child to be like him" and asked us what's our secret. We smiled and explained that our son is really into food, so it's not a great effort for him to sit at the table and eat with us.

Christian enjoyed the food and told me "let's come back again next time, cos they cook nice food for us." The chef was so friendly - he said hello as he walked by, saw our son and invited him to visit the kitchen. Given Christian's current ambition of being a chef, he was more than thrilled to see what goes on behind the scenes. To top it off, the chef even gave him a small pack of cookies, which Christian treated as his treasure! The place was understandably a hit with him.

As for us adults, we liked the ambience. It was drizzling slightly that day, so we couldn't sit out, but we saw a squirrel scamper past us on our way into the restaurant. The chairs on the patio seem like a good place to while away an afternoon on a weekend.. not that we'll have the chance to do so until maybe 10 years later =7
