Birthday celebration at The Clifford Pier!

I shall make an effort to blog more since i'm slightly less busy! I really want to have a collection of all my memories in this blog! Gab's birthday was about two weeks ago! Although it was his birthday, he still took the effort to fetch me around. Heh, i'm really so blessed.

Since i had booked our dinner date at 7pm, we had quite a bit of time to spare before that. We decided to head to our favourite ice cream place at Tom's Palette! We love Tom's Palette so much because their ice cream is SO creamy. They have so many different unique flavors too. This time, we opted for their salted egg yolk and milk flavor. It costs a total of about $5-$6 for two scoops of ice cream! I thought it was quite worth it!

Happy with our ice cream at Tom's Palette!

Then we headed to The Clifford Pier at The Fullerton Bay Hotel. We've walked past Fullerton Bay Hotel so many times but we never didn't know that this was actually Fullerton Bay Hotel. It's so beautiful and the decoration is so luxurious.

I like how their decorations are so symmetrical. It just makes everything look so elegant!

At 7pm, we headed to The Clifford Pier. It was a Saturday night but surprisingly, it wasn't crowded at all. In fact, it was very quiet and perfect for a romantic dinner.

Me anxiously waiting for our food to arrive. (Gab insisted on taking a photo)

We ordered three dishes. The portions weren't really that big so thank goodness we didn't over order. We opted for their lobster roll, carrot cake and rickshaw noodles.

Two Generation Rickshaw Noodles ($18)

I thought this was not bad! It's very unique, richly flavored dry noodles in pork broth. The sous-vide egg was perfect too and Gabriel loved it! It also came with very light and refreshing soup. For the price, i thought that it was worth a try!

Fried Carrot Cake ($16)

Unfortunately, the carrot cake only came in black sauce and there was no option for the white version. I thought for the price, this isn't really worth it. There portions of the egg were not generous. I thought i could easily get this (or even a better version of this) for $4 or $5 dollars at a hawker centre.

The Pier Lobster Roll ($29)

Gabriel really enjoyed the bread that came with this. It was soft and piping hot. It was also very well buttered. This was my favourite dish! The lobster was so fresh and juicy! They were also very generous with their servings of lobster. To top it all of, this lobster roll was accompanied with a good portion of truffle fries.

I can't believe how i managed to wolf down all that food.

Although the food at The Clifford Pier wasn't that mind-blowing, they certainly had some good dishes like the Rickshaw Noodles and Lobster Roll. I guess for the price, it was quite value for money, considering the fact that they had quite decent food. Furthermore, the ambience was superb. There was even a live band playing some oldie songs.

This really just sums up how we celebrated Gab's birthday! It wasn't anything fanciful but what was most important was the company we had in each other.

East Coast Park Memories

It's been way too long since i last blogged and the bf has been reminding me to blog all our happy memories so we can remember them!

We've been spending so much time at East Coast Park since it's really near Gab's place.

East Coast Park is such a significant place for us because of all our memories there.

I've been there for runs, picnics and who can forget the feast at the East Coast Park Lagoon?

There are so many things to do at East Coast Park!

1. We brought the silly dog, Cutie, to the beach

Cutie's first time at the beach and he was so intrigued by the sea. We tried to drag him into the waters but he was too scared of the sea.

He refused to leave and i had to carry him all the way from the beach to the pavement.

The sun was setting and we had to bid our goodbyes to the beach. Cutie's sooo adorable right? He's really our little baby!

2. We had a picnic by the beach

We prepared a salad, hamburgers and i bought a banana pie for me and Gab to enjoy by the beach! We went in the evening so it was nice watching the sun set. It was also really breezy too! It was such a perfect date. Of course, my date was even more perfect! :P

Gab took this pic on the way to our picnic spot! The sun was setting already and it was like a race to beat time.

The food we prepared! Gab had prepared the salad while i made the hamburgers!

For the salad, we marinated the chicken with taco sauce bought from NTUC, garlic and ginger. Gab fried it with a bit of milk and it turned out really wonderful! The hamburgers were really easy to prepare! I just bought the muffin bread from Cold Storage and layered the burger with cheese and ham.

Me at the picnic spot!

This was our view. :)

We ended the day with a glass of Moscato at home. It was really good because the wine tasted so sweet! 

3. Feast at the Lagoon

We always end up over ordering whenever we're at the Lagoon! The food here never ever disappoints!

We really really love the food their fried carrot cake! I think the Lagoon sells one of the best fried carrot cake we've ever had!

Some of the food we've tried on one of our dates!

Alright so this sums up my post! ECP really holds so many dear memories! I am looking forward to more ECP dates in the future. :)

Date with my love

I thought i should record all my happenings for the day! So yesterday after church with Gab, we headed to Marina Square to buy new working clothes for our internships. Then i accompanied Gab to get his hair cut at Parkway.

While he was getting his hair cut at Parkway, i went around to shop. (Recently i've been loving Korean products. I always think that Korean products are so interesting.) After i was done with my shopping, i went back to look for Gab but he wasn't there! I thought that he was looking for me so i texted him to ask him where he was. He told me that he was having a stomachache and i actually believed! He asked me to go to some place nice to have dinner. I chose Social Square and waited for him there!

Suddenly, Gab appeared out of nowhere to surprise me with the flowers! It was so unexpected because he bought them for no occasion. :') I was so touched! I asked him why he bought them and he said that the roses match my white dress. I was so delighted!

This was what we had for dinner. I ordered a pesto pasta while Gabriel ordered a dory fish with sides at Social Square! I thought that the food was really good and affordable and definitely worth visiting again. The have a rather impressive wine selection as well with my favourite Moscato! A pity we didn't get to order it though!

We were quite surprised at how generous they were with the sides! You get to choose how many sides you want too.

Our day didn't end there! After dinner we headed to a cafe at Simpang. It's called D'zerts cafe! It's quite a new cafe and we realized a lot of people head there at night. The interior is neatly decorated with hanging fairy lights!

We had a meringue lemon pie and a matcha mousse cake. :) It was really good and we both would be heading there again sometime soon to try out their pasta selection!

So thankful to God for such a wonderful guy by my side!
