Mimolette for Red wine


Tucked away in the backyard of the old Turf Club, set in what feels like cottage country with plush greenery and surrounding horse stables, sits Mimolette. In this charming black and white colonial house, which used to board the aspiring jockeys back it its day, is a quaint yet stylish restaurant that has a comfy-chic homely style featuring a color palette of crisp whites and soothing neutral tones, and an overall feeling of light and airiness. Designer, Mr Lim Cho Wei of CWL Design Services best puts the interior as a “Martha Stewart meets the Hampton” feel.

The above mentioned is what Mimolette describes herself in her website : http://www.mimolette.com.sg/
For those interested to know where is the place. Its located at 55 Fairway Drive


Thanks to Jane recommendation, I found this cozy chill out place at bukit timah area. Not a easy process by the way as the restaurant located in a super obscure area. You need to drive through a somewhat dark trail, (Smililar to those murder movies where murderer brought their dead victim to bury) get over a short underground tunnel, travel a short distant of dark road before you get to see the well lit restaurant. When you found it, it does give you a feel that you have got yourself into a fantasy land. It was very much a pleasant night for me with the fine red wine on my hand and nice friends around me, surrounded by great ambience. Through Jane, I got to know 2 new friends who I think are really nice person. They are Candy and Siwei. Hopefully we get the chance to meet up again and chill out.
