Feb 09 updates!

Valentine's Day: A day which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers or gifts.

Me & Dear didnt plan any special plans beforehand as we were both too busy & short of ideas! But but but; the dinner part shouldnt be too slipshod as we are one couple who really love to eat; but ironically- both with small appetite! haha.

It's a Saturday & i had to attend MSM class in the morning; thus i carried a huge bag containing dear's prezzies & went to school; overdressed[no choice man!]. Afterwhich; met dear @ Vivo and caught the movie "A curious case of Benjamin Button". It was a great movie; worth every cents of the $ we paid! I love it to bits! The plot is really fresh & entertaining & of coz Brad Pitt is really good looking! hee.

Roses & cutie bears from dear! Love it; i still get to keep the bears even if the roses wither! Pretty! Dinner time! I did alot of research on buffets & found lotsa raves on Kuishin-bo @ Suntec! We called them to make reservations about 4days before VDAY but it was fully booked! Thus we decided to walk-in although we know that the queue is gonna be damn long; i really want to try the famous CRABS! And truly; we were stunned by the long queue when we reached @ 5.30pm promptly for the Dinner. Words cant describe how long the queue is; but time can- we queued for 3hours!! Yes; a painful 3hrs! The few restaurants beside Kuishin-bo didnt even have any queues! That is how popular it is!

[We camwhored abit to kill time]

By the time we got in; we were starved! And thus we didnt take many pics. Kushin-bo offers a wide range of Japanese delights. The spread is really huge- many types of sushi, sashimi, fried soft shell crabs, tempura, oysters, teppanyaki beef; chicken; fish; paper steamboat etc etc. The famous CRAB CLAWS are gigantic! You really have to see for yourself ! The biggest crab claw ive ever seen! And the sweetest and juiciest ive ever tested! One special thing is that; they have hourly specials with a repetitive Kuishin-bo Jingle( Dom Dom Kuishin Bo....) whereby they will announce some "special items" with limited quantity every now and then and you have to rush to the counter to get them.

[Hot beef paperpot & a hungry dear!]

[Huge and superbly delicious crab claws! i had like 11 of it! The meat is orgasmic i tell u. No wonder it is highly raved! People just keep piling on the crab claws and salmon] [Random stuff we took]

[Teppanyaki chicken and beef] - nice; but we couldnt really finish it after stuffing ourselves with crab claws. haha. We managed to get the "Special items" too: Oat prawns & ice cream crepes dessert!

[Their variety of desserts is really huge & mouth-watering! See for urself!] - cheescakes; fruit tarts; mini cakes; mochi; jelly; puff; ice cream; fondue; eclairs; puddings etc.

[i LOVE the chocolate fondue especially marshmallows coated with warm oozy dark chocolate]

Next is gift-giving time!

From me to dear:

First present: [A Tatty Teddy!] hahahaha.. i wanna give him something which he wouldnt expect. i did a research online & found out tat actually guys hope to receive flowers or bears as a prezzie on VDAY too. Anyway; the Tatty Teddy is too cute; thus dear have to love it no matter wat. hee.

I'd always wanted to try the Lychee Martini cake at this bakery located in Ang mo kio!- the highly raved Pine's garden! And yea me & dear found the bakery today! Before that; we had a really overpriced porridge dinner; must be becoz of the fish. - this stall has got a really long queue which attracted us in the 1st place.

Pine's garden is located at Ang mo kio ave 10; blk 529; #01-2369. It is pretty famous and was featured in the show HDB Tai Tai as well as the Straits Times. We bought 3 pieces of cakes at one shot! Forgot to take pic for the Blackforest one which is the nicest one oso; imo! There are many cherries in the cake!

[Lychee Martini]- a lil disappointed coz i couldnt taste the martini @ all..but there are many lychees inside. it smells really good.

[Brandy chocolate cake]- the chocolate is really thick and nice; a sinful one! haha.

[Dinner @ Manhattan's Fish Market @ Central!]- the platter looks alluring isnt it! but actually; the portion reduced alot! both of us could finish the whole platter this time round !

[hehe; dar wearing new top orh!]

[ yea my new commes des garcons tee!]
