Pick her up from home on her actual birthday for dinner at the Verve @ Gillman Village.
It seemed as though I booked the whole restaurant! There was only us until around 7 pm when one more couple stepped in. And no, that doesn’t mean the restaurant suck. Far from that.
We had one of the most enjoyable expensive dinner since I can last remember.
They had a free appetizer or bread with vinegar and..I can’t remember what’s the yellowish sauce.
We shared a Caesar salad with grilled chicken, which came in generous portion and it’s really delicious.
Next up was Enzo thin crust pizza, which is basically peking duck + japanese cucumber in special sauce. The taste was unique enough and much better than any of the pizza in pizzahut.
GF ordered a slipper lobster linguine with panfried cherry tomatoes. Now I must say I’m never a great fan of cherry tomatoes as they’re either too sweet or too sour. Not this one! Really the best cherry tomatoes I’ve tried so far. The white wine base for the spaghetti was also very nice and fragrant. Slipper lobster, well is just slipper lobster, but it’s definitely fresh.
We had our fill and decided to do some exercise for better digestion!
Then brought her to this new Keppel Island introduced to me by Angela, which is not accessible if you don’t drive! However, I found it a bit overrated as there’s nothing special about it, except the surreal feeling of don’t-know-where-you-might-be-heading when you first drive in. There’s this very spacious area some distance away from the main building at the little island, and also a good big patch of green which I think will be a very good place for picnic though!
silly girl
her birthday!
Went up Mount Faber after that but it was crowded and came down shortly after and proceeded to have our ice cream at Island Creamery @ Serene Centre! We had double scoop of Kahlua Latte & Chendol. No words can describe the shiokness of the ice cream. Just go try it!
And that’s the end of her birthdayS! I hope she really enjoyed it this year.
