Having planned and celebrated the girl's birthday, it was now her turn to plan for mine. The girl was sure having difficulties on what present to get and which restaurant to book for us to have a wonderful meal together. Nonetheless, she managed to find one and gosh, it was a posh and expensive one!

We were at Keppel Bay Marina! The name of the restaurant, Prive. I supposed we were there quite early and that's why there were not much people seated. The ambiance, however, was great! I would say we were given personalized services! Haha. And so, we started ordering our food, given some recommendations by the waitress.

While waiting for our orders, we were treated to a complimentary ’starter’. Somehow, we forgotten what it was known as. Well, nonetheless it still tasted good!

Our starter was crudo, made from hokkaido scallops, sakura prawns, olive oil, yuzu and shiroshoyu.Yea... Sounds nice huh? Yummy seafood!

The girl had the rare duck breast and confit of duck leg for the main course, while I had the grilled kurobuta pork chop. Both comes with free fruits? Haha. For hers, it was paired with the persimmon-like fruit and the combined taste was really really nice. For mine, need-less to say. It's apple and the apple sauce was really good too especially when the whole piece of pork chop is being covered with apple sauce! Haha.

Look at the portion of our main. It was huge....!!! We both had our fill and I would say it was really nice. But that's not all, up next is our dessert.

We had the molten center chocolate soufflé. Nice, fluffy and soft, it’s no doubt it was the recommended dessert by the waitress. We were kinda wobbling after our meal. Haha.

Wow. Time passed so quickly and I've not blogged for like 2 months! Rest assured friends that my blog is still alive... Haa

With all the back dated entries, I really need to get things done. (Guess the girl is already smiling just by looking at this entry. =P)

With the girl's birthday coming up, it is also my turn to get busy as I need to plan for her celebration. It is really quite a headache as her birthday always clashes with the F1 race! Omg, 3 more years of misery... Nonetheless, I still managed to come up with something. This time round, I made a reservation at Serenity (A Spanish restaurant and bar) at Vivocity.


Having seen some good reviews about the place, I decided to go for a try. It was our first time trying out Spanish food. The ambiance was nice, with a live band going on. And the best thing is we were given a huge sofa seat which fits 6 people!

For a start, we ordered the Gambas al Ajillo. (sauteed tiger prawns with garlic and olive oil) The prawns were extremely fresh and yummy! The main course was the Paella Valanciana. (saffron, chicken, Spanish chorizo, tiger prawns, squid, half shell mussels, rice)


Interesting dish with lots of seafood! We even had 2 glasses of red wine to go along. Hahaha...

That's not all the next early morning, we went on to Riders Cafe. As the girl had always wanted to try out the food there, as well as to catch a glimpse of the horse trotting, I made an early reservation in advance. It was a wise choice as the place was really crowed as early as 10 am.

The girl ordered the Norwegian Salmon Benedict while I had the Rider’s Breakfast, both of which cost less than $15! Good deal! Not to mention the fact that their food tasted really really good, that it made us both fall in love with the place.


At the end of the weekend, I was so happy to see her with all smiles on her face. Happy Birthday Girl. =)
