I'm all about loving you

Happy Valentine's Day to you, you and YOU! (:

Honestly, Valentine's day just feels different from normal! The atmosphere is brighter, sweeter and happier, be it whether you spend this day with your best friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, or other loved ones.. As I was cruising down town on 190 with my cat, I saw peddlers selling bouquets of flowers and tiny stuff toys, girls hugging big teddies or holding helium-filled balloons, friends laughing and jostling around together, couples hand in hand.. (: Its such a nice and complete scene.

I had a really wonderful day with my cat (: I really didn't want the day to end when it did. But now that is has, I shall blog about it in detail so I can look back and read this and remember how exactly I felt today.

So my cat came to pick me up at my place, both of us dressed to the nines, as we are heading for our first fine dining experience!


Me trying to look less lok cok than my usual tank top and shorts! I wore my high heels too and they nearly suffocated my little toes //: I'm so dumb I didn't take a head-to-toe shot of my cat ):

Since we were meeting early, we went to Ben and Jerry's at Cathay for some ice cream and music. It was open mike night and we lounged at the bartop counter to catch the bands play. Ck was being his usual sweet self- he told me that I'm prob made up of 60% fats aftet wobbling my arm thoughtfully ): I tried to gek my muscles but they failed me! lol! We also talked about him performing in gigs next time! He wants to go topless and spot long permed hair to distinguish himself as a cool drummer /: Can you imagine?!?! I think he will look like a pre-historic Ape. lol!

At about six thirty, we left to trek to the place ck was intending to bring me. He kept the location a secret other than disclosing that I'll have to dress up so I was pretty excited (: In getting there, we got quite lost and ended up taking a cab, only to find that the place we were looking for was just across the road! -.- Finally, we arrived at the destination! Its a restaurant called Sage located at Mohammad Sultan Road! The outside looks quaint and kinda low-key but a peek through the glass revealed a very pretty and contemporary setting, lit by the soft glow of candlelights. Ahh, nice ambience (:

Here's the menu for the night!

The first dish was Escargot and lentils wrapped in Savoy cabbage with parmesan au gratin (?!). Every course has a really fancy and delicious description but frankly, I don't know what half the menu was talking about! lol! That kinda added to the fun though cus every dish was a surprise!


Escargot!

My cat!

It was my first time having escargot in a non-zicha style! ck commented that they tasted like soil! LOL! That turned me off a little /:

While waiting for the second dish, it was present exchange time! I got for my cat a new shaver and shaving cream from Crabtree and Evelyn as well as several framed photos of us while he got me a beautiful necklace from SK jewellery. Thank you dear! (: I love it very much! I'll upload a close up of it next time!




tadah!

Next up was a fish dish! Ocean Trout with naval orange and balsamic cloud! (!?)




As it is with fine dining, the food is top notch and delicious but the portion is PUNY! I suspect the portions are made sooooo tiny so you'll kinda try to savour the food better and it makes you crave for more! haha! Ck looked at his trout and told me we can probably head out for Roti Prata after dinner! hahaha! That funny boy!

The next one is a delicacy: Foie Gras with poached grapes!!! Yum! I love it and since ck didn't fancy it much (yay!), I ate up both servings! :DD


Three starters and bread and butter before the grand arrival of the main course! This is totally new to me man. My main course was veal and it was fabulous! My cat had monk fish (hes a cat lah haha) and it was very nice too!!


I was doing this alot throughout dinner! lol! Scrutinizing the menu :D




Finally, it was dessert time! (: Strawberry Souffle! It looks very good so ck looks very happy at first! hahaha!



But after tasting it, we realise it wasn't that nice. In fact, it tasted a wee bit funny, hence the expressions:



ck's face is damn funny! :D

More peektures! (:





And finally, one of us together! (:


Heh so that's the end of our dining experience! (: It was really a big eye opener and I had the greatest company ever. The bill was enough to make my eyes pop even bigger though //: omgosh!


ahhhh

To end off, here's a big thank you to my darling once again, whom I know will be reading this. I love you very much! (:

Goodnight all! (:
