Valentine Dinner At Fern and Kiwi

Hello hello... 

It has just rained heavily this evening 

and it kinda sets a romantic mood tonight :) 

I love raining nights...it makes me just wanna

jump into bed and sleep 

But I have decided to write about our Valentine's day 

dinner at Fern & Kiwi!

So empty at 6.45pm...

We arrived at Fern & Kiwi and was brought up 

to the 2nd level . Was shown to our table .
Being one of the first few diners at that time, I thought we 

could change tables as we were seated just directly facing the 

noisy road. ( it was raining and lots of cars were passing by ) 

Sadly, after enquring about the change of tables, we were told the better

placed tables were reserved already  :{ I wasn't quite pleased and

that left a bad impression already. 

Moving on...

We were served a complimentry glass of oyster shooter 

before being served our starters..

 Quite nice actually! It was our first time having this...

One oyster underneath the Bloody Mary :D

 Alex recommended me the NZ soft drink..

He had it before when he was in NZ 

Very refreshing..i like it!

 

 Next we had foie gras and scallop starter

Interesting apple jelly with teeny thin slices of apples

in the middle..

 I love how the jelly goes with the taste 

of foie gras... can't get enough..

but foie gras is sooo oily.. :P 

love this..

Being a NZ restaraunt, one would think that steak would be 

their pride and joy..

Maybe it was just our luck...but Alex's steak had 

a slight burnt taste to it... 

I had a big piece of cod! 

Very fresh and nice :) 

We were very full by now as we finished off our main course..

There was still the dessert platter ! 

It came in a dessert board..

First was a tiny scoop of dark chocolate ice cream, 2nd was a shot glass of white chocolate mouuse and lastly molten lava chocolate cake!! 

It's so funny... by the time the desert board reaches our table, that tiny scoop of ice cream has already started meltin! so much so that I don't even know it was ice cream!! 

It was already very dark  ( dim lighting coz it's Valentines!) and I only had my iphone with me..

so can't take any pics for the dessert except for the white chocolate...

 

The molten lava cake was way way too rich and sweet to finish it.... 

It was after all a satisfying meal with my dear one :)

Here's what he gave me for Valentines :D

 +sheepish voice+ oops.. I am supposed to get him a key pouch of sorts.. but need to go shopping with him so he could choose one that he fancies! :)

Highlights of Mr & Mrs Toh's civil marriage ceremony ( ROM )

Well, yes , after years of being in the 'market', I can safely say that I'm officially off the shelves ! I am now married to my sweetheart of almost two years last Saturday, 8/12/12.

We have chosen a tentative date for the Chinese customary wedding, but nothing is fixed yet..and as usual, all will be revealed in due time :) Our civil marriage ceremony aka ROM was attended by family members and a handful of my closest friends :) It was a event filled with laughter :)  Most Chinese elderly wouldn't have considered a couple officially married until they have completed the traditional customary wedding .

I am gonna interrupt my usual blogging with a short message by the groom 

Err....what to say har?
I wanna to thank my father, mother, mil, fil, friends....blab blab blab...you get the gist....lol
Oh...oh..oh...and my wife too!!!! Without her, I can't have a marriage....kekeke
So, we would like to share with everyone the closure of our courtship and the beginning of our married life....

To my wife.... I LOVE YOU!!

Do pardon his nonsensical yet somewhat meaning message :P he is still overwhelmed by the life changing event. 

Why now, don't let us hold you back from viewing our photos from the ceremony lunch  ..here are some highlights

in my aunt's room.. 

Mr and Mrs tags made by yours truly.

I didn't want to spend too much money 

on this ROM, so we decided not to 

have any flowers or sashes on the chairs...

a happy marriage.

my pretty bouquet  again :)


After the lunch event was over, a couple of friends, my bro and ourselves ajourned to
Scarlet Hotel for our staycation. I invited my friends to pop in to have a look at the place..
I have heard wonderful reviews of the boutique hotel :)

Will write about that in my next entry!

It has been almost 10 days since we have been married..
There isn't much difference honestly , and I kept telling myself, yes, Eileen, you are
\a married woman now.. :D
Well, next up will be the customary dinner..so yeah, we are in the process of deciding how
many tables and which restaraunts etc for the dinner.

Watch this space for more updates now!

Here's Mrs Toh signing off.. :)
