Happy 9th Valentine's Day!

The 9th Valentine's day was nothing fanciful but yet the most meaningful Valentine's day we have spent till date.

Celebrated it as Mr and Mrs, and also at our new place. Totally different feeling even though it may just be another weekend for us :) 

Derp never fails to give me flowers on this special occassion. Be it 1 stalk/3 stalk or 12 stalks. Last year Valentine's day, he even handmade it himself :) 


The roses this year...Thanks :)


The red velvet cake which I bought from Petite Bakehouse just below my block. Got it off the shelves 1 day before Valentine's Day. 


I do thought that it was quite big but actually because it's only one tier. So we probably eat 2-3 slice each at a time. All the calories are worth it because it's really nice. One of the better red velvet cakes I've eaten till date. 

Since we didn't go anywhere far except to the nearby mall to run some errands, we decide to take more photos at home then. Don't  wish to let the flowers go to waste lol. 





 Happy 9th Valentine's Day Derp! 


Okay enough of my selfie, and so we did home cook dinner as part of our Valentine's Day celebration. Everywhere is crowded/overrated/overpriced so we reckon home cook dinner is always the best choice.

Furthermore, I was quite busy with all the CNY preparation hence not much time/mood to really celebrate Valentine's Day. Everyday can be Valentine's Day right? :) The whole day I was busy till it's time to cook our Valentine's Day dinner.

We bought fresh sirloin steak to cook it for dinner. First time cooking steak, so excited! Normal days we dare not because they are not really cheap and I'm really afraid to overcook/undercook it without knowing it and it will be so waste.

But for this Valentine's Day, we shall give it a try! This fresh sirloin steak costs $7 each.



The finished product - Black Pepper Sirloin Steak with Prawn Aglio Olio.

The steak was suppose to be the main lead but Derp close the lid of our grill pan to keep the steak warm after cooking. 

But who knows that action caused the steak to shrink a lot and all the juice of the steak were forced out. In the end, the steak was really small but still yummy, just doesn't taste juicy lol. 


Our Valentine's Day dinner!


Not forgetting we match it with the Moscato which Derp bought the day before too haha! It's his current favorite whereas I still much prefer red wine :) 

Happy 9th Valentine's Day Derp and thank you for the roses! Love ya!
