I have a mission!
I'll have to plan our V-day dinner!
I was thinking that we often eat at 'waterfront areas',
like one fullerton, cosybay etc..
Thus, I've decided to book this restaurant at the Botanical Gardens! I feel kinda excited doing the plannings,
and haven't been this excited since planning Feng's surprise birthday at
The siloso beach resort last year!

I love to do the planning,

to make sure everything's going well,

every detail is taken care of,

to spring little surprises on him...

We've not been to the Botanical Gardens at all!

Here's the waiting lounge..

Where we'll have a couple of cocktails if we want..

We were ushered to our seats soon after!

We've gotten a window seat by a corner..

The view from my seat..
I loved the atmosphere!
The tranquility of the surroundings..
like a little island of its own!

Alright, not much pics on the food coz we were busy eating!
I opt for the buffet..

It includes:

Prawn Tower, Sushi snd maki, Tuna Tataki n Sashimis,

Mesclun salas,Feta cheese and olives, seafood mango salad,

Momotaro Carpaccio, smoked salmon,cocktail mozzeralla,

Mixed Mushrooms, Prosciutto Ham & Cantoloupe,

Chilean Seabass braised with sake & Wakame,

Vanilla spring chicken with honey, seafood stew,

Braised lamb shank, softshell crab with lime leaf & oatmeal,

Roasted Striploin of Beef with Bearnaise & red wine,

Potato au gratin, and pastas of all sorts!

Let us say the ambience worth 5 stars,
food also 5 stars,
service 6 stars!

I've done my research, and this is voted as many ppl's fave

restaurant in Singapore!

I can understand why..

The servers look just like top stewardesses serving passengers on board!

We ate and ate and ate..
laughing at dunno-what..
Either something about the food being real exotic,
or some beautiful scent kinda thing..
enjoying our own private jokes!
It wasn't long when I felt the chandelier of the restaurant getting more orangy than ever,
the scenary outside turns a pitch black,
only lighted by some lamps and perharps the moon light..
We knew it was time for desserts!
We went to the cosy "dessert room" and realise
that we're the 1st persons for desserts!
Everything is laid out perfectly!
All cakes are whole, all little desserts untouched!
They kinda glow in the chandelier's light!

Desserts include:
Chocolate duet with espresso, Passionfruit mango square,

Banana Walnut cheese cake, Coconut panna Cotta with exotic Coulis,

Strawberry Tiramisu, Assorted Choux Pastries,

Valrhona chocolate tarts on slabs of Valrhona chocolates,

and warm red fruit clafoutis..

See the strawberries in a heart shape?

Feng took the strawberry in the center for mi!

It's the center of d heart!

We had so much fun taking the desserts,

it was crazy!

We burst out laughing, looking at the face of the chef when she entered

the dessert room after we're done!

The crystal sweet ornament..

I would have taken a bite if no one's looking!

Hehe

And its time to go!

Or we will both burst outa our clothes!

But not before having some coffee and tea!

The view from my seat at night.
It exudes a different atmosphere from the bright daylight earlier on..

We'll come back next sunday for breakfast,

or high tea in the afternoon!

It's freezing cold, and the kind stewardess offers to shift us to a outside seat

so we can continue our dinner.

'Dinner?'

We've eaten our share of lunch, dinner and supper already!!!

It's time to go get my Val Day Prezzie!!

And we went to Orchard..
Was thinking of getting some acessories from either Tiffany's or Cartier or Bylgari..
When Feng says

that every girl's gotta receive something from Tiffany's from a love one..

And thus, I received my 1st Tiffany's on V-Day..
The familiar turquoise colour..

I chose a padlock.
Have been eyeing it since months ago..
and was telling myself to go get it when I receive my paycheque..
Thanks hun!
I'll always wear it close to my heart!
Happy Valentines'!

I still owe you your X'mas prezzie+new year prezzie+V-day prezzie and anni-prezzie!
