Valentine's Day 2011

This year, we kept it simple. And I told him not to buy any gifts for me. However, Dear Dear still made me happy and brought me to this Japanese Restaurant that we have not eaten before.

That day, I do not have to work. Dear came over to my house and brought me out. :)

Before we went out, I gave him a small gift. A card and Royce bitter chocolates.

The rose you saw in the picture is just a prop. hehe..it was last year's gift from Dear to me.

His gift. Poor boy has dark circles...

The tired Dear Dear still pose for me. :) Thank you.

Royce bitter chocolates. They literally melt in your mouth.

I forced a smile on him as we were travelling down to Clarke Quay on the train.

Time to feed our stomachs! Making a wise choice...

The name of this restaurant is Santouka. Well recommended on one of the magazines Dear read.

I ordered the best recommended meal. Ramen with Pork cheeks meat.  

Their soup base is a secret recipe. Nice and thick broth!

Pork Cheek meat is tender soft and well marinated!

Dear Dear ordered chicken ramen.

Lol... only the Japanese soft egg tasted the best from his order. He regretted that he did not order mine. Lol...

We had Gyoza too. Cripsy!

I left the last piece for him. And look at his face. He was admiring it.

First, he bathed the meat with the thick ramen soup.

And here is the second time...

All right, now that the meat has absorbed the soup, into his mouth it goes. Mmmm...

"Heavenly delicious!"

Santouka at Clarke Quay Central. There will always be a long queue at around 6pm.

Next for our desserts,  we had ice cream.

At Marble Slab.

Not bad! :)

Arh! :) Strolling to Raffles City and meet his cousin, Peijie to help out with her Apple Laptop repair at Nubox.

The end of the day. Simple but I like. Because we tried out 2 new places we had never been before. And its difficult to find a good ramen restaurant.

It was a happy day!
