Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Valentine's Day this year was a quiet affair. No need for elaborate surprises and gifts, just a simple day out together, looking for delicious food. I prefer it that way actually because I don't like kengyang to spend too much money on me (because I can afford it mah, why need him to buy right?). And also because I tam jiak. Got good food can already :D

I was ecstatic about the smallest thing ever - we wore matching outfits without prior planning. 

His top was very very cute. We saw it in JB last weekend, and I kept asking him to try because walao damn cute can? Floating astronauts!

We had an early dinner at Potato Head Folk and wow it was definitely the right decision to dine there... even though we had rude ladies sitting next to us initially. 

We were sitting on the communal table because the other tables were taken. We were seated next to 2 ladies and these 2 ladies were so kaypoh! Every single time the both of us spoke, they would stop talking and listen, and then they would make some comments. Why so rude one!! Like I was telling Kengyang how cute the burger name "Baby Huey" was, and one of the ladies said, "hey! you wanna order a Baby Huey?" and then they laughed. Maybe I pronounced it wrong lah, but need to so cb or not. 

Just nice after ordering, a couple of customers left and we quickly changed seats. Damn cb!

Okay back to the good food...

I ordered a Baby Huey burger and Kengyang got the Burning Man burger. For sides, we shared Naughty Fries and Wing-Its. 

The 2 burgers were GLORIOUS. They were worth their slightly high pricetags. We opted for the patties to be done medium, and they came in the perfect meat temperature. Why so li hai one?? Most of the places that Kengyang and I have been to always asked for our preference of meat temperature, but the meat would come out super well done. But the burgers at Potato Head Folk... wow... It was really one of the best burgers I've had in my life. I can't wait to come back again to try out all the other burgers. 

The Naughty Fries was different and quite tasty. Wing-Its - not our favourite. I only had 1.5 wings, mainly because I was too full, but also because it wasn't very good. Kengyang had 4 wings, because he didn't want to waste hahaha. 

Perfect burger!!

Initially we wanted to head up to the rooftop for some drinks, but the sky looked pretty ominous. We shelved drinking plans and went to Vivocity! I finally bought my Sherlock Pop! figurine. It was the last one in stock and so confirm must buy right? 

Had dessert at Caffè Bene and heh we were so disappointed. Not nice and almost S$14. :( 

But aiyah, we had a fulfilling time with each other can already. 

Happy Valentine's to my soulmate! :) 

Valentine's at Sin Lee Foods

Valentine's Day this year was a quiet affair. So many young couples with sibeh dua (english: damn huge) heart-shaped balloons and extravagant bouquets of exotic flowers, but aiyah I like neither so I requested that I have none of the two from Kengyang. We planned to have a good lunch and spend quality time together and that's about it. Of course, he did give me gifts in the end lah (he bought me potent liang teh from Malaysia cause I always damn heaty and falling sick, plus a Kinder egg HAHA). 

I made a reservation at Sin Lee Foods via Chope way way way ahead of Valentine's Day because I thought confirm crowded one right? It's Valentine's Day plus this Sin Lee Foods ah, super popular on Instagram one. #sinleefoods and you get (currently) 1209 posts. Some more if you click on the location "Sin Lee Foods", you get many many many more photos. 

But hor, lunch time like not a lot of people. I overestimated the power of Instagram, especially for lunch time. When we left the restaurant (almost 230pm), we saw the queue outside. Lucky reserved for 130pm :D 

Beef and Grains - this was delightful. I love it more than Kengyang because he didn't like the grains used. This dish has that pleasant Japanese umami taste and the beef was grilled to perfection. 

Kengyang opted for the Fried Chicken and Waffles and he loved how moist and tender the chicken was despite its crispy exterior. I don't really fancy the given syrup but still a great dish.

Ah, this was the dish that appealed to Kengyang's tastebuds but not so much to mine. The Salted Egg Sweet Potato Fries was a unique dish and the addition of fried curry leaves added more depth to the simple sweet potato fries. But, I don't really like salted egg with anything. So, I just ate the fries with no salted egg drizzled on it. :P 

So that was the end of our Valentine's Day! No need for fancy balloons and flowers because aiyah to be really honest, I much prefer good food. Got balloons and flowers very ego-boosting lah, but very inconvenient for us and for other people leh. Later we take MRT/bus how? Later kenna stomped how?? Don't want!
