Valentine Dinner at Monti at 1-Pavilion @ Fullerton Pavilion

Normally, hubby and I will not deliberately celebrate Valentine's Day outside on the day itself. This year, I was very lucky to have won a Premium Valentine dinner at Monti, Fullerton Pavilion through an instagram contest from @Quandoo_SG and thus, we had our advanced V-day dinner last Friday.

Our voucher:

Menu for the Premium Valentine Dinner

We were served with 2 glasses of Veuve Clicquot. You may request for ice-water for free.

Bottled Vinegar and Olive Oil for our bread.

Oysters

All the 3 starters were served for us.

Risotto with rose petals and champagne

I had lobster for my mains and hubby had wagyu tenderloin with foie gras.

Thanks @Quandoo_SG and @MONTISingapore for the giveaway. =)

Chinatown Chinese New Year Official Light-Up - Year of the Rooster 2017

On 7 Jan 2017, the Official Light Up and Opening Ceremony marks the opening of the Chinatown Chinese New Year Celebrations 2017. Have you been to Chinatown to see the big Rooster and the street light-up yet? If not, it is still not too late as the street light-up will continue till 25 Feb 2017!

Do you know where we could take such an awesome view of Chinatown? Hint below...

We parked our car at the carpark here and spotted quite a number of photographers here as well.

We had our dinner at Chinatown Point first before coming back to catch the fireworks.

人山人海

The whole place was so crowded and we ended up waiting at this area, which was a WRONG choice!!! We were totally blocked by the white cardboard from the stage and we didn't manage to catch the fireworks! =(

These animal shaped balloons didn't fail to entertain the adults as well! =)

The stage... We didn't watch the performance as the place was too crowded for comfort.

We have seen claw machines for plush toys. How about this? For ice-cream? Furthermore, this one has guaranteed returns ie you can play till you get one!

Mum's Birthday Lunch at Tung Lok Signature @ Changi City Point

Mum suggested her own birthday venue this year and one of her reasons for choosing Tung Lok was to get their Ang Baos! However, the stock for their ang baos had not arrived yet so we didn't manage to get them.

On the receipt, it states "Pickle $6". I guess it means this?

Crispy Pork Belly ($12)

The size of these pork belly seemed to have shrunk by quite a fair bit. Nevertheless, they still tasted good but I wished I could have a bigger portion.

Sauteed Garoupa ($38)

There was a special promotion on that day ie Sweet and Sour Pork with Fried Rice together at a promo price of $24. We saw a lady order this set on her own but I doubt she could finish the fried rice.
