On 14th Feb 2012, we celebrated our 2nd vday :)
Beee brought me to this beautiful place which I really love!!
Read on to see more nice peektures okie.
Before we met in the late noon, I had work.
& this was what I received from a stranger,
which made me smile!
I decided to be a lil' more girlish that day,
& thus I wore a girlish dress.
hahahah
Beee knew that I dont want him to waste money on the bouquet of flowers,
but he still got me a stalk! :')
He brought me to this place for our late lunch
there is this really oriental feel at this place
I was starving & feeling hungry like a pig,
so we placed our orders almost immediately.
what a spread!
chicken feet!
I love these. eh, dont judge me okay.
I like to eat chicken feet, fish head, chicken butt etc,
which girls dont usually eat.
but homygod these are the nice parts!
if you like them as much as I do,
you HAVE to order this dish!
it is braised to almost perfection.
love the tastiness & tenderness.
peppermint milk tea.
this was too sweet for my liking, only had a sip.
Black pepper pork chop rice.
was skeptical when Beee mentioned that this is one of the specialties.
true enough, it really is!
was expecting some tough pork meat which I really hate,
but no, it was tender & the black pepper taste was just nice, not too strong.
I usually have my white rice only when there is nice gravy involved,
& this gravy convinced me that I did not waste my calories. ;)
Tofu with floss
An average dish..
I think the one I had at Seafood Paradise was honestly tastier.
Just being honest ;D
Fried Prawn Dumplings I would say this was average as well..
Siew Mai
I dont know how to rank Siew Mais.
I think it's really difficult for siew mais to taste yucky ;O
Har Gows
another must-haves when I go for dimsum.
I LOVE HAR GOWS!!
anyways, this was good.
You know how some hargows have thick skin (no pun intended),
& then the prawns are so tiny & not fresh.
This is not one of them la.
The skin wasnt too thick, plus the prawns were fresh!
Yam Cake!
this was really good as well!
not too salty, with generous amount of yam found inside.
Together with the chilli sauce (which was REALLY SUPERB),
I will rank this in Top 3!
(tgt with the chicken feet & black pepper pork chop!)
We discovered that this place has another section,
which is meant for tea-lovers.
*I'm a lil' teapot, short & stout~*
for tea-lovers to sit down & 品茶！
happy belly afterwards.
~.~
喜怒哀樂，都有你陪伴。
Total bill added up to $44 (or $41, I forgot!)
worth it, really!
GO TRY!
YiXing Xuan Teahouse
30 Tanjong Pagar Road Spore 088453
while my boy seeked his phone's help on how to get to the next location!
So we walked for approximately 15minutes to get to a bus-stop,
boarded a bus, to our next secret location.
I didnt know where he was bringing me to.
We alighted from the bus,
I realized that we were very near to Harbourfront,
but I still had zilch idea where we were heading to.
Until I saw this:
!!!!!
Keppel Bay!!
I've heard a bit of it,
seen a few friends' photos on my facebook,
& I've always wanted to visit this place.
Thing is, I have never told Beee that I wanted to check out this place!
So yes, I was really excited when I realized we were there!
Breathtaking view!!!
Seeing is believing;
some of the photos you see were taken with Instagram.
Love the effects so so much!
Follow me: @_shinekoh :)
It really didnt feel like we were in Singapore.
Both of us were quite amazed by the place.
So beautiful!!
too beautiful.
look at the architectures!
managed to find a couple to help us take a photo.
but hmm.. the guy cut off the building in the background ;O
so after they left, we decided to switch on the self-timer mode ;)
:D
never did we expect that this photo will turn out so nice.
really love it :) :)
Beee just plucked his teeth for braces by the way ;D
photos taken with my good ol' digital camera
I kinda like this shot ;)
was playing around with the camera effect: miniature effect
Beee actually wanted to make a reservation at Privé but was told that they were fully booked :(
but we just tried our luck & asked for a walk-in for some drinks.
It was only 6+ then,
so we were lucky that they did allow us to have a table!
the over-priced (but beautiful) rose from my Valentine.
since it is an once a year affair,
I shall not nag ;p
While he ordered an Erdinger,
I didnt want to spend so much on the drinks,
felt that it was more worth it to spend on food.
hahahah.
& so I ordered Blueberry Muffin & New York Cheesecake for us!
he blueberry muffin was so-so,
& I thought it was a lil' dry.
But this New York Cheesecake was awesome!
Some cheesecakes just make you feel sick after more than 3 bites.
But this, definitely not!!
there was this really tasty crust at the base,
(think it was some butter biscuit).
YUMMYLICIOUS!
Privé
No.2 Keppel Bay Vista, Marina at Keppel Bay, Singapore
Continued to explore the place,
& to enjoy the scenery.
Beee's attempt at self-shot
this reminded me of Taiwan's Lovers' Bridge @ Dan Shui
so niceeeeeee.
we will definitely visit this place again,
at night.
I think these buildings actually light up at the later part of the night!
we left at ard 745pm, thus we missed it :(
Thank you Beee for bringing me to this beautiful place. :) :)
Walked to Vivocity after that.
prolly a 15-20 mins walk :)
Our dinner was supposed to be at 830pm,
but we called & changed the timing to 9pm
because we were both not feeling hungry yet.
went to the roof area,
to enjoy the breeze & rest a lil'.
so many couples around!
Dinner was at PuTien.
Frankly, when we saw the menu,
we were complaining non-stop about how overpriced the food were.
& we even thought of leaving the place to just eat at the Food Republic.
HAHAHAH. sorry we are Singaporeans.
made our orders eventually.
& once we took the first bite of this,
we took back each & every single word(complains) we had before that.
HOMYGOD.
this dishes were really YUMMEH!!!
never judge a book by its cover.
This plain-looking dish was really tasty!
It's called Pu Tien Ca Fen.
Generous amount of ingredients!
For just $6.90, we had a huge bowl of it.
PuTien Sweet Potato Glass Noodles
$6.90 as well
chewy & slimy kuay-teow like noodles.
loves it too!!
Claypot Chicken in Fermented Red Rice Wine
$13.90
Tasty at first few bites,
but got a lil' salty for the next few.
But to be fair,
I think it would be just nice if eaten with some plain rice :)
WORTH IT!
we were really really full,
& our stomach almost exploded.
Putien
1 Harbourfront Walk, #03-01B (Food Republic) VivoCity, Singapore.
So, anyways, this is Beee's pressie for me.
this is to promote better blood circulation & to help me sleep better.
what a thoughtful gift :')
As I've mentioned many times before,
Vday aint just for lovers.
Of course, I didn't forget to buy a simple gift for the love of my life i.e Mummee :)
& my vday card for my boy.
& my vday presents for him....!
he just changed his job recently,
& these two books were perfect for him.
heheheh so glad that I bought these for him!
We bought these from Cheers,
& wanted to end off the night with some chilling session.
But argh this Hooch drink,which I chose, tasted like medicine.
I should have just bought Hoegaarden!
Somebody asked me on Formspring to share about my love story. I don't really have an interesting love story to share,
but I would say,
meeting him, was the best thing that happened to me during my internship.
:)
& yes, thanks to his courage,
we are now happily together for 20 months.
(it's our 20th today!)
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
who calls you back when you hang up on him,
who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat,
or will stay awake just to watch you sleep…
wait for the boy who kisses your forehead,
who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends,
who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup on.
One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you….
The one who turns to his friends and says, ‘that’s her.’
That's right, that's him.
He is also the one,
who will set his alarm clock early in the morning just to gimme a morning call,
to make sure that I wake up for work.
You're the light at the end, on the road.
When I wanna give up, you keep showing love.
I am safe in your rms.
With you I'll never walk alone.
Thank you, my boy. :)
