Valentine's Day Celebration 2017

This year we separated the Valentine's Day celebration and Wedding Anniversary celebration because we will be overseas on the Wedding Anniversary day itself. So looking forward to it and with that we decide to have a simple Valentine's Day celebration this year.

Rainbow baby breadth from Derp :)

I've been wanting one since ages ago so I'm glad Derp bought it for me on this special occasion.

This bouquet is very photo worthy hehe.

#welfie before we go out for our early Valentine's Day dinner.

Took the bouquet out with me for more photos if not it will be very wasted haha. 

#OOTD

1 more shot with the pretty bouquet of baby breadth.

We reserved in advance a table for 2 at Saveur @ Cathay for our Valentine's Day dinner. I have been to the other branch of Saveur and I find the food pretty affordable so I recommended Derp to go there for our celebration.

So that's what we were there for, their Valentine's Day set dinner for 2 :)

Here's what was in the set dinner..

2 Mocktails

Apparently it's some lavender fuzzy drink which taste pretty refreshing.

Saveur Pasta 

This is one dish which I always order when I'm there

French Onion Soup

For our mains, we both ordered the Duck Confit.

This is definitely their signature main dish. I had it the other time I'm there and it still taste as good! 

Yummy Duck Confit for both of us. 

Both of us ate finished it and by then we were actually quite full. But there's still desserts for us (part of the dinner set).

If I never remember wrongly, they served us the Tiramisu Cake which comes with a macaron. 

We were way too full to finish both our cakes though. The Valentine's Day dinner set cost $59.90 (before gst) for 2 which we find it pretty affordable with the amount of food we were given. Total worth our money and it was an enjoyable experience.

Daily 12pm -9.30pm

We went for a impromptu movie session after our dinner before heading home. One of those rare #saturdate whereby we hang out late in town to reminisce the good old dating days :) 

It's just like any other day but what most important is spending quality time with each other. And that's something which I always think couple should be working towards to.

Looking forward to many more years of Valentine's day with Derp! 

Le Sucre Du Patisserie Macarons

Tsum Tsum

A few blog posts back I was talking about the belated Valentine's Day cum Wedding Annviersary celebration at Hungry Heroes. 

However other than having the belated Valentine's Day celebration, we had our own kind of Valentine's Day celebration at home on the actual day itself. More about it in this blog post. 

The gifts we got for each other (or more like for ourselves) this Valentine's Day were the Tsum Tsum soft toys and Tsum Tsum Macarons from Le Sucre Du Patisserie Sg. It was #everythingtsumtsum ever since we were hooked onto the Tsum Tsum line game :) 

Placing them all together...

A #welfie with the Tsum Tsum. 

With the cute Tsum Tsum macarons 

The macarons' filling were the same for all the macarons which is chocolate. I've no problem with that but find it a little sweet for my liking. It's not meant to consume more than 2 at a go. To be honest, 12 macarons is a little too much for us and it took us sometime to finish it.

The collection place for the Tsum Tsum macarons were quite out of the way and I do hope that they could be improved. Ordering of the macarons is via whatsapp. Payment has to be made in full before they confirmed your order. That's all for my review for Le Sucre Du Patisserie Sg's macarons.

I do think that it's a good gift for your loved ones on special occasion because they are very exquisite and could be customize to your liking!

Valentine's Day Steamboat Dinner

We decide to have steamboat for dinner on Valentine's Day itself simply because it's still the CNY period. We simply enjoy cooking and eating our steamboat dinner slowly despite there's a need to spend some effort in clearing up after that haha!

Steamboat dinner for 2. 

If I'm not wrong, the soup base flavour we used were Tom Yum.

The beef was oh-so-good! It's very fresh and they were nicely sliced up. I'm already looking forward to our next steamboat session :)  

#welfie before we start eating our Valetine's Day dinner 

That's all for our Valentine's Day 2016 celebration. Unknowingly, it's already the 10th year we are celebrating Valentine's Day together :) Here's to many more years to come!

Valentine's Day Celebration @ Hungry Heroes

We had a belated valentine's day cum 2nd wedding anniversary celebration after the CNY period mainly because many places jet up their price during the festive season. In my opinion, it's totally not worth it so we had a belated celebration instead.  

#OOTD for the celebration - Got this Hollyhoque's midi dress from a reseller on Carousell

Before we head to the dinner venue, we went to collect the One Piece Run's race pack, Shall blog about that the next time round.

Anyway. we decided on Hungry Heroes for our valentine's day cum wedding anniversary celebration. Ran out of ideas and not a fan of buffet so here we are, dropping by at a superheroes theme cafe :) yay to another cafe off the bucket list. 

Reservation can be made through Chope and I'll highly recommend it because this cafe can get fully booked from time to time. So it's better to make reservation before heading down to avoid disappointment. 

The cafe is of walking distance from Farrer Park MRT. 

Derp standing right outside the cafe haha. 

Was greeted with lots of super heroes figurines upon entering the cafe 

Many more figurines and they all belong to the owner of the cafe. It made us wonder how long did he took to collect so many of them.

The cafe's counter (spot the huge figurines behind) 

Very interesting table mat haha! Or should I say 'news article'.

The menu.

Without much thinking, we ordered the Nice To Meet You platter. After ordering, we started to roam around the cafe to take more photos while waiting for the food to be served.

More displays at level 1

Totally 'wow' upon seeing this

Our drinks came before we head up to the 2nd level to see more of the display. Can't really remember what we order though haha.

Upon climbing up the stairs to level 2, this interesting lights were spotted. It is made up with lots of superheroes. This is probably one of the highlights of the cafe.

More figurines/displays spotted on level 2..

This is cute :) 

Captain America, Thor and Iron Man :)

This is the view from the 2nd level whereby you can see the huge display. It looked almost like the actual size to me haha! But perhaps slightly smaller than the actual size if I were to compare it with those who acted as these super heroes in the movies.

You can totally imagine how big they are judging from us posing with it. 

After we were done taking photos, we head back down to level 1 to wait for our main course. It's a pity we didn't sit at level 2 because it's definitely much more cosy and the ambiance is better.

I can't really remember how long we waited for the food to be served but it wasn't a long wait after all the walking around to take pictures.

Nice To Meet You - $62

We chose the brown sauce and cajun mayo to go with our platter.

Before digging in..

From this angle, you can see the huge portion of meat and also fries that were served haha! 

All the different meats were really good, there's pork ribs, beef sirloin (we requested for medium-well), de-boned chicken leg and pulled pork. 

A #welfie of us. 

The staff were busy hence we didn't ask them to help us take photo. 

Derp and I couldn't finish the meat platter and we were feeling really full when we left. Perhaps 4 ladies can share a meat platter even though it's recommended for 2-3 pax. 

Overall, the experience was a great and memorable one. The food was good and even though it cost $62 for a meat platter but the portion was really huge hence I will say it is value for money.

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!
