I am convinced that there is something wrong with my iphone 6 plus camera. The pictures taken using my phone camera does not seem sharp and focused. I shall go back to using my Samsung mini for my upcoming BKK trip!
So this was us, on Valentine's Day 2015. Our first Vday as husband and wife!
Our couple #ootd captured by my mum. Not too bad I say.
This Vday felt like Chinese New Year to me, because everything on me was new. My new dress from Love Bonito, my new wedge from Ferragamo and my new Celine bag, which I've bought for the longest time, but it had never seen daylight (as I was hiding it from the husband. teehee)
Our first stop of the day was to Etna, located at Duxton area for lunch. Can't believed that we have never tried this italian restaurant despite passing by it so many times last year when we were preparing for our wedding.
After we parked the car, I spotted a great spot for #ootd #wiwt so we spent some time here trying to get a good #ootd shot.
The husband can never do a proper #ootd, so this was his.
And these are mine! Took lots of it, but was still not satisfied. And thus we returned back again after our lunch to take again.
#ootd is really hard work I tell you.
And my huge face while waiting for my food at Etna.
I hate growing out my fringe because its always at this annoying length.
Complimentary bread on the restuarant! Look at the cute heart shaped bread.
Really don't judge a book by its cover, because it was a really really hard, almost inedible bread. The others were nice though.
My main dish, which was soft shell crab linguine (which I changed to spaghetti) in lobster bisque. It was DA BOMB, but the husband hates it because he couldn't stand the strong seafood smell.
And his Hawaiian pizza. This husband is like how boring please. Order a normal pizza when in such an atas restaurant. But anyhows, he enjoyed it lots.
And how could we not order a Tiramisu in an italian restaurant. When it came, I was a little disappointed because it was not dusted with cocoa.
But when I tried it, it was heavenly! It was dusted with pistachio crumbs and it was a really good combination. Definite must try!
Was supposed to take this couple picture before we ate the tiramisu, but I was so excited when it came that taking a couple picture took a backseat.
And the final #ootd shot which we took after lunch, and this time I was satisfied!
A day before Vday, I was informed by the Luxola team that I had won their Valentines Day giveaway, which consisted of a makeover by Makeup Store and a dinner at Marmalade Pantry (but at 9pm!)
And it was a wrong day to wear my Ferragamo out, because it was really biting my feet, and by 3 plus, I couldn't walk anymore. I needed to rest before I could make my way back to the car park to retrieve my flats (smart me brought out my flats, just in case!).
At about 4pm, we made our way to Paragon for my makeover. Sorry for the lousy quality of the pictures, because I took it from their facebook.
Thank you again @Luxolasg again for choosing me! :)
By about 7pm, we made our way to the Mamalade Pantry at The Stables. Totally not a good place to go at night, because we got really really lost, and almost wanted to give up the dinner.
We drove into a dead end (super dark and no night lights). The husband couldn't see the roads and when we reversed, the car probably hit a pole, but I refused to let the husband get down the car to check it out.
This situation happened too many times in horror movies, and I was not going to risk the husband's life like that! (hahaha)
But anyway, we somehow got the GPS to bring us back to the right path again, and ta-dah, here we were at the restaurant, greeted by a lighted carriage with horses.
It was a 4 course set meal for us, but we didn't get the appetiser because it was salmon salad which both of us don't take. He had beef tenderloin while I had my codfish.
Honestly, I wouldn't go for such set menus again or I won't pay for them during such occasions.
Firstly, because I don't get to choose what I wanted to eat and secondly, we had to wait for the chef to finish cooking the meals for all couples before we got served each dish. Super long wait.
My review of the food. Etna tasted better. The food served at Marmalade Pantry was mediocre. Not sure if this was the usual standards, or because the chef had to churn out so many meals in such a short time, thus the substandard. But, I still enjoyed my dinner because it was my first such experience, and I didnt have to pay a single cent for the meal which cost $222 after GST!
And so, this was how I spent my Vday 2015 with a flower, not gifted by the husband (hmph!) but Luxola!
