It all started with the PRESENT..
Its not very easy to buy Wifey a present because... technically... i am not smart even to catch the hints and expressions to catch what she likes and would want to have for a gift.....
yes... i am pretty "dumb" but i guess most men are like that? ya? no? Whatever~ hahaha
But it was good this year, as i managed to pick a pair of heels that Wifey so totally adores!
Yep, heels from Salvatore Ferragamo. Wifey has been eyeing on them for a long time but kept telling me that she don't want this heels for a present, because i could tell that she wanted me to save money instead.
But it has been really long since i've really bought anything for her, so in the end i went ahead with it^^
The giving part was kinda tough haha. I gave her the pair of heels before her birthday because just in case it isn't a perfect fit, we could still get it exchanged and.. because she will be attending a good friend's wedding, isn't it perfect to put on this beautiful part of heels for the event?
I think i managed to surprise her perfectly hahahhaa. Basically, Wifey was at her mum's place for dinner, so i slipped out and "Chiong" straight to Salvatore Ferragamo at Takashimaya to purchase the heels. After that, i went to my mother-in-law's place as per normal and had a great home-cooked dinner^^
After dinner i told Wifey that i forgot to pay the bills and needed to pay them urgently via the AXS machine downstairs, that was how i slipped out to grab the heels from my car hahahaha. I coordinated with her sister to hold her in the room while i slipped back in to the house and ~Ta Da`~ Happy Birthday! Heee~ Could tell that Wifey was totally shocked and surprise at that instant lolxxx
On her Birthday itself i also coordinated with her sisters to "ambush" her at the Teo Heng Karaoke Studio, at Rendezvous Hotel. But i told Wifey that after i splurged on the pair of heels i am broke.. so no "big" surprises on her birthday, just a simple meal between the both of us.
As i only booked the Karaoke Studio and Dinner reservations at Ice Edge Cafe, i didn't really have a place to go to for lunch before the Karaoke session! So i ended up bringing Wifey to Eighteen Chefs for lunch (at Cathay, where its nearer to Rendezvous Hotel).
The food there is pretty good and affordable! pleasant surprise lolx
How can you not try the Heart Attack Fried Rice ya? lolxxx and obviously.. that's what i went for!
The meat is a bit tough but it's overall still okay for me. The fried rice looks damn bloody intimidating but its actually quite alright and tasty! Garlic Butter Fried Rice^^
Wifey ordered the Tom Yum Aglio Olio which was great! a little bit spicy but very tasty!
I love these cups/mugs~ got the retro feeling to them, but more importantly, the ice lemon tea were great! I am quite "sian" if ice lemon tea at cafes/restaurants just taste like normal breakfast tea, with ice, and 1-2 slice of lemon.... literally Ice + Lemon + Tea... But this was pretty good^^
After Lunch i told Wifey to take a stroll with me LoLXXxx Super Lame right?! HahahahA ya... and obviously she smelled a rat when i said that.. but.. how else was i supposed to trick her there??? Seriously couldn't think of a better excuse/reason hahahhaa
And ya that's when i brought her straight up to the room where her sisters and mum was already camping. They were really sweet as they have been on standby the whole time (not that long la.. about 15mins?) and the moment we stepped it, they played the birthday song on the Karaoke System and we all sang her a happy birthday song =)
Small surprises but very sweet right wifey? =X (hope she sees this haha)
Look at the Superstar singing! **Wifey is so gonna kill me for this =X
After a great singing session we proceeded for dinner at Wifey's favourite cafe, Ice Edge Cafe!
You MUST try this dishes at Ice Edge Cafe!
Their buffalo wings are simply delicious! Its not the level 1 - 10 spicy kinda thing. Its just 1 standard order of buffalo wings that taste great! Not too much vinegar as you would probably expect from other buffalo wings =D~~
I love the calamari rings too! They aren't tough at all! Simply wonderful^^
Every since dinning at Morton's steakhouse, Wifey has been in loved with Onion Soup lolx. The ones served at Ice Edge Cafe is pretty good too! Very flavoury and "full bodied" taste of the onion soup =)
The Squid Ink spaghetti is quite good actually. At least it doesn't have that smelly/fishy smell to it and the spaghetti is cooked pretty Al Dante!
Perhaps its just me but i don't really fancy carbonaras, because.. in my opinion.. its probably the simplest pasta sauce to make? But anyways, the carbonara served here is very creamy and the amount of bacon on it gives the sauce a slight tinge of saltiness which makes it very very tasty!
What's in that bag?!!?!?
Seafood Marinara! Wifey likes this a lot, not sure if its because of the taste or the "surprise" hidden within the aluminum foil LoLxxxx. But okay la, its pretty decent =)
This dish was kinda disappointing though, Chick Cordon Bleu. Its basically a chicken cutlet with stuffed cheese fillings. Sounds impressive.. but.. very normal.
If you love ice cream and desserts, then Ice Edge Cafe is a must go for you!
MUST MUST MUST DIE DIE TRY their Waffles and Chocolate Lava Cake!
The waffle is super fragrant and soft on the inside! While the Lava Cake.. simply melts in your mouth... 'nuff said~
These are the reasons why Wifey absolutely love dining at Ice Edge Cafe ^^
Success on Wifey's Birthday "Party" Surprise! Yay!!!!
Great food, great fun and great company from your family and love ones. I believe these are the best gifts for anyone's birthday^^
