Candlelight Dinner at Masons, Gillman Barracks

This is a totally unexpected but pleasantly delightful find!

Bernard and I were in the mood to explore the Alexandra area last weekend and while we were strolling along the way to Hort Park, we came across this lovely restaurant housed in a colonial-styled bungalow. I was attracted to Masons at first sight as the strikingly white building really stood out amidst the surrounding lush greenery. It was just gorgeous in my opinion and I loved the fact that the restaurant has a tastefully decorated alfresco verandah dining area.

As it was close to dinner time, we decided to give the European cuisine at Masons a try after looking through the menu. To be honest, we were hesitant at first as the prices were quite costly but decided to go ahead as the ambiance was perfect and we knew that we may not visit the area again so soon.

Delicious chicken wings with sweet chilli and fresh greens. $9++ per serving.

Asian Duck Pizza. About 17" at $26++

The food we ordered were presented elegantly in gourmet style, which matched the charming decorations of the restaurant. The thin crust pizza was well made but would taste even better if it was less charred at the edges while the chicken wings were tender on the inside and really crispy on the outside with a mild peppery taste. We liked the fact that the food was not oily at all. Overall, the taste of the food was light and refined, delicious and without any after-taste. A refreshing change from the Asian cuisine which is usually much stronger in flavor.

And here is a closer look of my outfit of the day:
