Spuds and Aprons, Mount Faber

It was a cool Friday evening and the boyfriend decided to take me to Mount Faber to celebrate my birthday. He had a reservation with Faber Bistro but it started to drizzle as we were nearing the top of Mount Faber so we decided to check out Spuds and Aprons instead. Unlike Faber Bistro which was alfresco, Spuds and Aprons had an open air, sheltered dining area which allowed us to enjoy both the night breeze and stay dry at the same time.

The Spuds and Aprons menu.

We had Chilli Crab in a Tux ($13) and Wicked Fries and Gravy ($8). The Chilli Crab in a Tux was basically chilli crab stuffed in potato skin and it was perfect! In fact it was probably the best dish of the night. Tangy crab meat in chilli sauce on grilled potato skin.

The Wicked Fries and Gravy ($8) was thick fries with melted cheese and gravy. The fries were kind of soggy and limp, and the delicious melted cheese on top of the fries did not save this dish. The fries might have been left out in the air for too long before they were served.

While we were working our way through the starters, the sky turned dark outside and lights lit up in the distance. Spud and Aprons offered a perfect night view from the top of Mount Faber.

The boyfriend ordered the Crispy Pork Belly ($26). The Pork Belly was crispy and tender as the menu promised, but it lacked the punch and flavour that we expected. Served with roasted potatoes and rocket leaves, this dish was ok but not incredibly fantastic. 

I ordered Oven-Roasted Mustard Marinated Chicken ($19). The chicken skin was crispy and tasty, but unfortunately the chicken meat was dry and, just like the Crispy Pork Belly, was not sufficiently flavorful. Spuds and Aprons should work on their marination. I think that would save their meat dishes. The mashed potatoes was buttery and decent.  

A live band started playing at about 8:15 pm and the music was good. While the cool night breeze drifted in and music filled the air at Spuds and Aprons, we finished our meal and washed it all down with a pint of beer. Thank you for the lovely night and thank you for being who you are and for loving me so.
