We
started our tasting with the oysters Fresh Oysters and Baked Oysters ($24 for 6
pcs). This time around WMB uses Irish oysters. The oysters are fresh; however,
it is on the mild side. It is neither sweet or briny. I normally like my oysters
simple just with a bit of lemon juice, but in this case, it is best eaten with
the vinaigrette.

I am
not a baked oyster fan, but I enjoyed the version served here. The oysters are
baked just right, the mild mozzarella added the much need savoury flavour to the
oysters plus the spark come from the spring onion as well. A good starter.

Crab
Cake ($12) served with chilli crab sauce. A round shape of crab cakes, filled
with cheese. It is crispy externally, moist and cheesy internally.

Pork
Belly ($10). The version here is deep-fried like Thailand crispy pork belly.
The external part, including the crackling, is crispy and crunchy, while the
meat is nicely seasoned and tender. It is served with mustard and a must-try homemade
pickled cabbage. Yummy.

Pan Seared
Scallop ($19). Perfectly seared scallops that are juicy internally. The
asparagus added a contrasting crunchy texture while the garlic butter sauce binds
all the ingredients nicely. The sauce was superb and we polished the plate
clean. The best starter for the night.

Tomato
Lobster Pasta ($28). A very generous serving of lobster in this pasta. Instead
of serving half portion of the lobster WMB served the whole lobster. The flesh
of the lobster is tender and springy, while the pasta is al-dente and well
coated with the tomato sauce. Although both ingredients are good individually,
I don’t feel the connection between the lobster and pasta. It’s like eating two
separate dishes.

Baby
Back Ribs ($25, monthly special). Glazed
with maple tomato sauce and served with pasta and homemade pureslaw. The
exterior is charred, crisp with a combination of slight bitterness with sweet
maple tomato sauce glaze. The flesh is juicy, succulent and well marinated. The
pasta is al-dente and the pureslaw is crunchy and helps to balance the
fattiness in this dish.

Pulled Pork Cheese Melts Quesadilla ($14). A super
tasty pulled pork, tender and juicy. Coated with cheese melts and wrapped with a
soft and fluffy tortilla. It is served with crispy fries and sour cream dip. This
dish is also good for a quick lunch or as a starter for dinner.

Duck
Leg Confit ($18). Duck confit is not an easy dish to prepare and execute. The
best one normally comes delicious super crispy skin, followed with juicy and
fall of the bone meat. The version here has juicy meat; however, the skin is
not crispy and the gamy flavour is very strong. On the upside, the mash
potatoes are delicious, rich, buttery and paired well with the bitter rocket leaves
and grilled tomato.

Tomahawk
($98). A jumbo main dish for sharing. Grilled to medium rate and you can expect
a superb meat enjoyment here. The texture of the tomahawk here is meatier,
chewier with solid beef flavour. Don’t expect the wagyu or dry-aged standards that
melt in your mouth version. The side dishes of grilled tomatoes, garden salads,
onions, together with mustard and chimichurri sauce make a good companion to the
tomahawk.

With
all the dishes that come before us, I was surprised that we still have some space
for dessert. A must-order here is the Ricotta Puff ($8). Made with filo pastry
and ricotta cheese, this dessert sway towards savoury instead of sweet. It is
topped with a mini scoop of ice cream (hint: a bigger scoop will be nice), but
it was warm and delicious, we just polished it off. Yum Yum.

There
are a few dining and drinking areas for WMB. First floor indoor and outdoor, plus
the 3rd floor. We were seated on the 3rd floor during the
Media Tasting. This area is normally used for a private function or only open during
the peak period.
Overall,
we enjoy the food at Wine Mansion. The food is nicely executed and will go well
with any wine. Our recommended dishes are Baked Oysters, Pork Belly, Pan Seared
Scallops, Baby Back Ribs, Tomahawk and Ricotta Puff. Cheers!!
