MASONS

I chanced upon Masons on one of the blogger's photo and since then I had been wanting to come, simply because it's too pretty. So last Friday, I dated Huifan, Lynda and Diane to come and try it out with me. But Lynda could not stop complaining of the location. Haha! But that of course was not my main concern. Masons is actually located diagonally opposite my work place. =)

Purposely dressed in black and white just for the place.

I wanted a picture with the restaurant name resting on these little pebbles. So pretty!

Calamari: While we were waiting for Diane, we got really hungry so we ordered an appetizer to share and the calamari turned out to be pretty good -- crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside, and actually pretty good on their own without the garlic cream sauce.

Diane finally appeared at 8pm.

Happy hour from 4pm to 7pm

We ordered the beef steak with fries for the main course but it was such a disappointment. Firstly they did not gave us steak knife so the cutting of the meat was an ordeal. Secondly, the cut of the meat was too thick that even though mine was medium well, I had to keep chewing to break the meat down. Thirdly because the knife they offered wasn't serrated, every cut I made on the beef caused the blood to ooze out. Yikes!

Of course I did not finish my food.

Dessert was mediocre as well. The brownie was not warm enough and the texture was actually hard on the outside and very spongy on the inside. Definitely not the way I like it to be.

Lastly, who on earth eats cream brulee with some sourish jam on the side and a piece of bread-like thingy.

Verdict:

It's definitely a 5/5 for the pretty decoration and ambience but that was the only draw for us. 

What actually keeps customers coming back is good food and good service at good prices. 

Sadly the food at Masons barely made the mark.

This is a place that I will not return.
