Song of Love

Finally getting down to posting pictures from the day of our anniversary last week.

We started out early morning with some kaya toasts from Vivocity, before attending mass at the Church of St Teresa, where we celebrated our wedding a year back.


It was more food later on, with lunch back at Vivocity - at one of our favourite, Dian Xiao Er.


And EVEN MORE food in the evening....the highlight of the day of course, at Song of India.

Have heard so much about this restaurant, so we were very eager to check out its famed Indian cuisine. Service was attentive (especially so because I called to tell them we were celebrating our anniversary that evening), and the food......

The food was simply DIVINE. Really, I don't mind Indian food. But this is one place that I would say, serves the BEST Indian food EVER. Period.

The spices and herbs used in the gravies matched the fragrance of the saffron rice to perfection. Even the sesame naan had a hint of buttery scent that really enhanced the mix of flavours of the chicken tikka and lamb masala. I never had more rice and naan in my life. And I could have so much because the food wasn't as heavy and greasy as the usual Indian food that makes you feel "jerlat" at the end.




But still, we were totally stuffed by the end of the meal. Totally satisfied in fact! When I "winked" at the wait staff that we were ready for desserts, he brought out "the surprise" of the evening. Yes, I've always wanted a cake from Cherylshuen, thanks to the inspiration from Beanbean's wedding cake.

I had called Pei Shuen to order the cake a few days earlier, without The Boy knowing. And @ndrea was really sweet enough to help pick up the cake and bring over to the restaurant, since if I do that, there would be surprise no more. (I had bought the Precious Moments figurine earlier, which @ndrea brought over for Pei Shuen to put it on.)

We totally loved the cake. The restaurant manager even commented that this was the most beautiful cake he's ever seen in the restaurant.


And the evening ended on a sweet, endearing note. The Boy is a year older. The Jemej is a year old. And the Jemej Journey continues....

lilsnooze > you're back on the blog, that's fast! :D

Haha, i think it could be because it's a secret wish of the gals to have these cupcakes and cakes, so they might as well order them anyway. No need to hint and hint. Passe. tsk tsk.

Jemej said...

dr > Haha, at least I did this. otherwise, because I was so busy with work, I kinda forgot to plan some surprise for him. Till he said a few mornings earlier, "i'm not going to have any birthday surprise?" Oh, that made me sprang to action. *guilty*
