				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100910" alt="Brad Mel Wedding" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Brad-Mel-Wedding.jpg" width="710" height="471" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So the planning for the Big Day starts. And you are suddenly overwhelmed by the list of to-dos. And you are frightened because you&#8217;ve heard too many horror stories about weddings gone wrong and whatnot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You start panicking. Panicking because you don&#8217;t know how and where to start. But let us share something with you based on our own experience and from our recent wedding &#8211; there is no such thing as a perfect wedding. No matter how well-planned everything is, something will go wrong. And it is only normal. Just remember &#8211; this one-day affair will only be beautiful because you and your partner are ready to embrace a life together ahead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are beyond grateful for the presence of so many of our family members and closest friends for our wedding weekend, and with that, we share the highlights of our wedding, as well as tips on planning a wedding.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you to every single one of you who made #BradMelWedding possible!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-98928"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100903" alt="Wedding Planning" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Wedding-Planning.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">GET A WEDDING PLANNER</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First and most importantly, do yourselves the favour by getting a wedding planner. It is the best thing you can do for your wedding.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We entrusted Begin Again with our Big Day, and no regrets. Candice, our incredible wedding planner, made our lives so much easier by taking care of almost the entire planning! She took the big load off our chests, and proved that our decision was right!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most people go crazy from planning their wedding, often pulling their hair out and even ending up in huge quarrels with each other. Now, all these can be minimised &#8211; if you have a wedding planner. He/ She will be doing the main liaison between you and the vendors, and will oversee the event rundown on the day(s) itself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With Candice, we had so much more time to focus on our daily lives instead of being overly occupied with the wedding planning. All we had to do was to tell her our likes and dislikes, preferences and must-haves, and she conveyed all these to our vendors, who henceforth put together a wedding more than we could ever ask for.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Looking for a wedding planner is one. Looking for one who is truly passionate about her thing and responsible is another. You wouldn&#8217;t want your wedding planner to perpetually miss your calls and texts, neither would you want one who is always waiting for your cue before she gets something done. We are lucky to have Candice &#8211; who is nothing like that at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And because of her, our wedding went so smoothly. Thank you, Candice.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100521" alt="Wedding Day" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Wedding-Day.jpg" width="710" height="1065" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">CHOOSE A DATE</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is tricky because there may be many criteria set by the parents/ grandparents. A date is not just a date; as you might have thought. It may carry very heavy and symbolic meanings that cannot be regarded lightly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you come from a Chinese family, more often than not, your parents/ parents-in-laws would want to consult an almanac for an auspicious date for the ceremony. Listen to them; you won&#8217;t want to get into a fight because of the dates because while it may be a fuss for you, it may mean a lot to them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is often said that holding your wedding one month prior to and after &#8220;inauspicious festivals&#8221; is bad, e.g. Qing Ming Festival (usually in end-March or early April) and Hungry Ghosts Festival (usually in August).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no right or wrong to choosing a date; it all depends on your families&#8217; beliefs and traditions. Our solemnisation was held on 17 June 2016 and the banquet on 18 June 2016; no particular reason to these. It was only out of convenience that the ballrooms were available then.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100518" alt="Fullerton Hotel Wedding" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Fullerton-Hotel-Wedding.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">LOOK FOR VENUE(S)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For most weddings in Singapore, they are held in the ballrooms of hotels. We picked The Fullerton Hotel for many reasons, primarily for its rich history. Being patriotic Singaporeans ourselves, we had wanted something iconic of Singapore to hold our wedding at, and The Fullerton Hotel makes a splendid choice.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100517" alt="Fullerton Wedding Lunch" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Fullerton-Wedding-Lunch.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But of course, the banquet team deserves a mention for their dedication. All our guests were singing praises of our 5-course lunch and we were overjoyed to know that everyone loved the food.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100024" alt="Wedding Decor" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Wedding-Decor.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">AND A WEDDING STYLIST</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, you cannot do without a wedding stylist. You may think he/she is dispensable, but a wedding stylist is an important someone who will conceptualise your ideals and translate them into reality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our wedding stylist, <a href="http://www.the1984store.com/">The 1984 Store</a>, proved to be the best choice for our Big Day. The dedicated team took care of the decor and styling of both our solemnisation and banquet venues.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<p style="text-align: justify;">We had dreams of the perfect venue; we had dreams of walking down the beautiful aisle. We had dreams of our guests seated in the most wonderful settings; we had dreams of endless photo spots all over our wedding ballrooms. <a href="http://www.the1984store.com/">The 1984 Store</a> made all of them happen with a customised rustic travel theme, complete with fresh flowers and photos of us scattered all over &#8211; just the way we liked it to be.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100536" alt="1984StoreSG Wedding" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/1984StoreSG-Wedding.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you to the most fabulous <a href="http://www.the1984store.com/">The 1984 Store</a>! Our wedding was made so Instagram-able and memorable because of your visions and efforts!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100545" alt="Wedding Photographer" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Wedding-Photographer.jpg" width="710" height="1044" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">LOOK FOR A TRUSTY PHOTOGRAPHER</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Needless to say, you need a photographer. A very good one, at that. Similarly, there are many in Singapore, one for every budget too &#8211; but just go for the best, really. You would want only the best moments captured, ain&#8217;t it?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bobby Kiran Photography is a renown wedding photographer in Singapore and his skills are second to none. We dare say he is the best and most reliable. No horror stories of sudden price increase, or lateness, or even missing in action (MIA). Yes, there are actually photographers who are notorious for MIA especially on the wedding day itself. Imagine that panic attack!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100546" alt="Wedding Photography" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Wedding-Photography.jpg" width="710" height="1065" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We couldn&#8217;t be more pleased with the photos by Bobby. He who is ever passionate about his job creates the best imagery, and remember that wedding photos are something you will keep and look back at forever. Get one who is well-organised, communicates well so that you and your partner do not feel any tinge of awkwardness during any photo-taking, one who knows how to post and angle you, and efficient in post-processing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you, Bobby. You have given us so many photos that are keepsakes for life.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">AND DON&#8217;T FORGET THE VIDEOGRAPHER</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People often overlook the importance of a videographer. Just because they think photos suffice. But photos, while precious, are still images. Videos are the best way to preserve the happenings of the most important day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Very often, we forgot how we felt during the process &#8211; because there were too many things going on and we got distracted. But a videographer is there to capture the essence of every hour, so that you can look back and relish the wonderful moments. It is akin to watching your own life story played in a movie; it is an amazing feeling.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We had Linstudios with us, and this talented guy did a cinematography-style video of the whole process &#8211; from our pre-wedding photoshoot at Tokyo to saying of vows to the banquet. Surely, he did a marvellous and our guests shared our joy through these videos that were played during the banquet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is an <a href="https://vimeo.com/169039764" target="_blank">excerpt</a> of our pre-wedding photoshoot in Tokyo during the cherry blossoms season. And this is the <a href="https://vimeo.com/171394876" target="_blank">video</a> of the highlights of the day we said yes to becoming man and woman.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you, Wei Xiang of Linstudios. We now have something memorable to share with our kids in future.</p>

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100537" alt="Wedding Banquet" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Wedding-Banquet.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">MAKE A GUEST LIST</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You are probably going to take a long while doing this. No one completes the guest list in one seating. And it is true that this will take up the most time in your planning &#8211; even more so than outfit sourcing!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s a tip: make two lists.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">List A will be the most important people to you, and it includes best friends and family members whom you would want to have with you on your important day(s). They are also the ones you should inform from the start, so that they can block out the date(s) for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">List B will be the second-tier friends, those whom you are not the closest with, but would still love to have them with you at the celebrations anyway. People on List B should not be people who might be offended if you do not include them eventually. And they are also the ones whom you could move to List A should anyone from List A pulls out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100914" alt="Wedding Speech" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Wedding-Speech.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And why would planning your guest list take forever? We were only completely done with it three days before the wedding because there would always be last minute pull-outs and confirmations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You should brace yourselves for friends who let you down, because while we thought the saying &#8220;Weddings really show you who your true friends are&#8221; was cliche, we only fully understood it having been through getting married ourselves.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Indeed &#8211; friends whom you thought would not miss your wedding for the world would; friends whom you thought didn&#8217;t quite matter would turn out to be the most spontaneous guests. This, we will always remember.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100539" alt="La Belle Couture" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/La-Belle-Couture.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">OUTFITS SOURCING</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can either rent your gowns and suits, have them tailored, or buy them off the racks. The options are aplenty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We chose to go with rental, and we chose <a href="https://labellecouture.com.sg/">La Belle Couture</a> &#8211; one of the most established and recognised bridal studio in Singapore. They do rental for both gowns and suits, and there are many packages to suit your wedding needs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100538" alt="La Belle" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/La-Belle.jpg" width="710" height="1065" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was a seamless experience with the team, for the selection was more than impressive and the stylists knew exactly what worked best for us. Most people would be clueless about how to start, but the stylists are trained to give professional advice on what suits your body best, so you can be rest assured that you would look only your best on your big day.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">FIND YOURSELF A HAIR &amp; MAKEUP ARTIST</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Makeup artists (MUA) are aplenty, and there is one for every budget. But we say do not scrimp on this, because if there is one person who determines how you look like on the most important day of your life, it is your MUA.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A good makeup means you will look your best throughout and in all your photos and videos. On the flip side, if you get an MUA who does a poor job, that bad makeup will haunt you forever in your photos and videos.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100544" alt="MUA Wedding" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/MUA-Wedding.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 300;">Your MUA must be someone who is highly skilled and efficient. He/she must understand your features well enough to create looks that accentuate your features without you looking like a total different person.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 300;">For us, we trusted our friends Adeline Lim and Pearlyn Law. These ladies have a belt of experience in wedding hair and makeup, and they have created many looks for all our pre-wedding shoots and actual day celebrations.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bear in mind that some MUAs do not style groom&#8217;s hair, so you might have to make separate arrangements.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">WORK ON YOUR PHOTO ALBUMS</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you&#8217;ve got your photos taken, it is time to work on your photo albums. These are albums that you will keep with you for life, so spend a little more time on them, and look for a reliable printer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100896" alt="Wedding Album" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Wedding-Album.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our albums were done by My Photo Talk, whom we had previously worked with for other prints for our home. These guys&#8217; work fast, and you would be surprised by how affordable their albums are! They have a very simple step-by-step online order process, and you can get your photos printed with just a few clicks.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">AND THE CANVASES</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t forget the canvases too! These are the huge-ass photos you would typically see during the cocktail reception. They are often the best shots from the pre-wedding photoshoot, and the quality of the canvas makes a difference to the overall look and feel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These need not be exorbitant, nor do they need to be extra large in size that they&#8217;d take up too much space too. We had ours done by Print on Canvas, and boy, were they efficient in getting in done!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">WORK ON YOUR INVITATION CARDS</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wedding invitations was something we didn&#8217;t want to take lightly. Most would think it is just a medium to inform the guests, but to us, we wanted something that would have the guests remember our wedding right from the start.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The process of conceptualising a design was made easy with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_ordietrying/" target="_blank">Dodt</a>, who eventually came up with something in our wedding&#8217;s theme colours of seafoam and gold. They also designed a monogram that was minimalistic and sleek; just the way we liked it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<p style="text-align: justify;">With a good design comes along the need to look for a reliable printer to complete the product. We had ours printed by <a href="http://www.thefinepress.com/" target="_blank">The Fine Press</a>, a Jakarta-based company that specialises in letterpress printing. We had ours printed in a very thick quality paper that exudes a luxurious, textural feel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And the great sense of satisfaction came when guests told us how that was one of the most gorgeous invites they&#8217;ve ever received, and that they were already excited about our wedding.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">PLAN YOUR DESSERT TABLE</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dessert tables are all the rage these days for all events, and being huge sweets lovers ourselves, we definitely had to place emphasis on bringing as much desserts as we can to our guests!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Planning this wasn&#8217;t difficult at all with <a href="http://crememaison.com/" target="_blank">Creme Maison Bakery</a>, who knew exactly how a dessert table should be done. Tell them your requirements and preferred desserts and they will bring a wonderland to your wedding.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100069" alt="Dessert Table" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Dessert-Table.jpg" width="710" height="1065" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both days of our celebrations were filled with amazingly fresh and delectable desserts that our guests couldn&#8217;t stop helping themselves to. The menu was well-thought and surprisingly very affordable for the sheer amount, and it was something we were happy to have our guests remember us for &#8211; that #BradMelWedding made them feel like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A COFFEE BOOTH, PERHAPS?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because ours was a lunch reception, we thought our guests might love a perk-me-up. What better way to wake up than to the smell of coffee?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We got Olla Coffee, a popular mobile coffee service provider in Singapore, to be part of our cocktail reception. Olla Coffee uses beans from Nylon Coffee Roasters, and because great coffee needs no sugar nor artificial flavouring, what our guests got to enjoy was true premium brew that was nothing short of aromatic. Now, that is one sure way to get you guests prepped for the eventful afternoon ahead!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The cherry on top? We even had cups printed with our wedding monogram!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">AND OF COURSE, A LLAOLLAO KIOSK!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Want to give your guests something to talk about forever? Then have a Llaollao Kiosk! Seriously! It is possible with Llaollao&#8217;s new catering arm, and we are privileged enough to be one of the first few couples in Singapore to have a mobile froyo station at our cocktail reception.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 24.375px;">Sure, you may think it is just another dessert. But it is not just another dessert when it is Llaollao! </span>This sure got all our guests excited, and everyone was Instagram-ing their free flow Llaollao.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">THE WEDDING CAKE</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most wedding cakes are for display only, but we made ours edible! We went with a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/winifredkristecake/" target="_blank">Winifred Kristé Cake</a>, who specialised in bespoke wedding cakes. It was a fun process &#8211; from sitting down with the team and sharing our ideas, to the cake tasting, to seeing the actual product sitting beautifully on the stage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Small touches like these sure make the whole wedding a lot prettier. Our dream of having a rustic wedding cake complete with sugar flowers and gold pearls came true.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">DON&#8217;T FORGET THE PHOTO BOOTH!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A photo booth adds infinite fun to a wedding! Our guests were kept occupied throughout, and because not everyone will bring cameras to a wedding, a photo booth is the best way to have some take-home from the wedding!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We chose to do it with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thankyouforcoming.sg/" target="_blank">Thank You For Coming</a>, who are experts in tailor-made photo booths. No cheese backdrops and low-quality prints; only the best backdrops customised to your wedding theme, along with creative props and high resolution print-outs.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">GUO DA LI</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This will happen before the wedding &#8211; usually two weeks before. But do check with your parents on the preferred dates, because once again, the date matters and may carry symbolic meanings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Truth be told, we know very little about Guo Da Li &#8211; the Chinese betrothal ceremony. But glad that we had help from the team at <a href="http://www.leknot.com.sg/" target="_blank">Le Knot</a>, who educated and helped us with the whole process.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This old tradition has been passed down for many decades, and it is one that should be preserved for it carries many symbolic meanings that would mean a lot to the parents of both bride &amp; groom.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">LIVE BAND</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A live band makes a whole lot of difference to the atmosphere. Sure, it is a cost to save on, but it is also one that will elevate the whole guest experience. Sometimes, the singer doubles up as a host too!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Live bands usually stay throughout the wedding, with short breaks in between courses. They are the ones who will keep your guests entertained, and liven up the whole atmosphere with their repertoire.</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once again, we are grateful to everyone who made our wedding possible. To our guests, we hope you enjoyed the afternoon. To all vendors, thank you for being part of our celebrations!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53937" alt="Alkaff Mansion RIstorante" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Alkaff-Mansion-RIstorante.jpg" width="710" height="454" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tucked away in a little corner in Telok Blangah is what used to be a retreat bungalow owned by the Yemeni Alkaff family. <strong>Alkaff Mansion Ristorante</strong> provides a nice respite from the fast paced city areas in Singapore, perching on top of Telok Blangah Hill (used to be known as Washington Hill). This well-known location was once the centre of high society parties and other events, besides being a family home to the Alkaff family.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53946" alt="Alkaff Mansion Interior" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Alkaff-Mansion-Interior.jpg" width="710" height="472" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since the mid 1990s, <a href="http://www.alkaff.com.sg">Alkaff Mansion Ristorante</a> has been known to serve award-winning cuisine to patrons but ever since LHN Culinary Concepts took over the reigns in 2010, the restaurant finally restored its splendour and has become one of Singapore&#8217;s go-to dining spots and event venue for corporate, private events and weddings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is what we enjoyed the most from Executive Chef Simone Depalmas&#8217; intricately crafted menu, strongly influenced by his Italian roots.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-52088"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53938" alt="Seafood Platter" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Seafood-Platter.jpg" width="710" height="470" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To kick-start your gastronomic adventure here at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante, a popular antipasti to start with is the Fresh Octopus Carpaccio (S$24). This dish, according to Chef Depalmas, is one of the most frequently ordered starters at the restaurant.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sliced thinly into delicate and translucent pieces, the octopus is enhanced with the added frisee salad and San Marzano cherry tomatoes on top, and dressed sparingly with balsamic reduction for a hint of tanginess to the dish. Chef imports his seafood fresh directly from his hometown of Sardinia, an island in Italy, so you are guaranteed only the freshest seafood will be served here.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are dining in a pair, pick the Seafood Platter (S$68) instead to try a variety of seafood dishes. Dig into plump tiger prawns, a generous serving of tuna tartare with croutons crowning it, thinly sliced sea bass carpaccio, chunky octopus salad and fresh lobster chunks dressed in a tart citrus sauce. The platter is exceptionally big so it can be shared up to four diners.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-52101" alt="Sardinian Fregola" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Alkaff-Fregola.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Moving on to the fresh pasta dishes, the Sardinian Fregola with Assorted Seafood (S$28) is a stunner. Fregola is essentially a &#8216;cous cous&#8217;-like pasta, imported all the way from Italy. The mussels that are tossed in with the pasta is exceptionally juicy as they are fresh from Sardinian waters, without being frozen when flown over. Cooked with other fresh seafood such as squid and clams, the rich flavours of the pasta shone through with the added use of herbs and dried tomatoes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-52107" alt="Squid Ink Tagliatelle" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Alkaff-Squid-Ink.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We were served this next dish wrapped up in a thin sheet of plastic. Yes, the Homemade Squid Ink Tagliatelle (S$32) is skillfully prepared in the hands of chef as he tosses this pasta dish into the oven for a couple of minutes before serving to bring out the robust flavours.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Adding an oomph to this marvellous pasta dish are the plump and juicy mussels and an assortment of other fresh Sardinian seafood.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53939" alt="Mushroom Risotto" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mushroom-Risotto.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is hard to come by really good risotto in Singapore as many restaurants here do not use the correct grains to cook the dish, or simply fare poorly in execution. Thankfully, the Porcini Mushroom Risotto Superfino Acquerello (S$28) here at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante exceeded our expectations.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chef uses the Superfino Acquerello grains in this risotto dish and it is a high quality grain prized for producing the best risotto dishes. The porcini mushrooms and thyme also enhanced the flavours of the dish.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53940" alt="Oven Baked Seabass" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Oven-Baked-Seabass.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Served flambéed, the Oven Baked Sea Bass in Salt (S$48/600g, S$56/700g, S$64/800g) produced the most tender and juicy flesh. As the fish was baked in salt, the inner &#8216;meat&#8217; of the sea bass has absorbed a great part of it, making it good to eat even on its own.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We were served the sea bass with a tangy squeeze of lemon, some fresh vegetables and delicious dried tomatoes; they all make great companions to the fish.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-52102" alt="Lamb Rack" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Alkaff-Lamb.jpg" width="710" height="472" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If red meats are your go-to choice for a hearty (or romantic) dinner here at <a href="http://www.alkaff.com.sg">Alkaff Mansion Ristorante</a>, the Oven-Baked Lamb Rack (S$45) or the Sliced Beef Tenderloin (S$45) should be your top picks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cooked to a perfect medium pink, the lamb rack is served with a smooth dollop of mashed potatoes, pearl onions and a rich prune sauce that has been reduced overnight to bring out the most intensive flavours to complement the meat.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53941" alt="Tenderloin" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Tenderloin.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For steak lovers, a guaranteed satisfying meal will be made better with the sliced tenderloin; cooked to your preferred doneness, of course. The steak is sliced up for easier consumption and served alongside roasted potatoes and fresh or grilled vegetables.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53942" alt="Suckling Pig" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Suckling-Pig.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What makes a good suckling pig? A crisp skin outer layer with flavourful and tender meat inside. This is exactly what Chef Depalmas brought to the table with an Italian spin to this classic dish. And you bet we fell head over heels in love.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Slow Cooked Sardinian Style Suckling Pig (S$46) is roasted for several hours at a specific temperature of 70 degree Celsius to produce fork-tender meat and a divine crisp to the skin. Served with a sweet berry compote to balance out the salty-rich flavours of the pork, we couldn&#8217;t help but believe that we must have done something so darn right in our past lives to be able to enjoy such a heavenly suckling pig.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53943" alt="Dessert" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Dessert.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Every good meal must end with an equally or even better tasting dessert. Chef puts in the same amount of love and care into his savoury dishes and sweet desserts, hence producing incredibly decadent desserts that you will polish off even if you were already &#8216;full&#8217; from your mains.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chef Depalmas&#8217; Alkaff Mansion Tiramisu (S$14) is a simple dish but done the traditional and authentic way without any addition of cream &#8211; only light and premium mascarpone cheese. The added acidity of the fruits and berries adds dimensions to this otherwise light dessert.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The clear winner of the desserts is none other than the Fresh Mint Vanilla Panna Cotta with Mixed Berries and Raspberry Sauce (S$14). The Panna Cotta itself was as wobbly as a good Panna Cotta should be, and the fragrance of the mint was refreshing without being over-powering. This is a nice palate cleanser for your hearty meal.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53944" alt="Alkaff Mansion Singapore" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Alkaff-Mansion-Singapore.jpg" width="710" height="461" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was a really splendid experience at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante, and one that we will not soon forget. It is little wonder this place is so popular among couples for wedding ceremonies and dinners, and yes, it is an ideal romantic dining location indeed.</p>
