Valentine’s Day Special: Hungry Go Where?
It’s Valentine’s Day soon and everyone is bombarded with all the Vday dining promotion. How do you actually decide where to dine on this special day? By the price, ambiance, food quality, location or all of the above? For me, although the above factors are all important, the deciding factors are still the person I will be with and the memories we had in that particular place.
Rather than going adventurous, I thought it will be nice to provide a list of cafés and restaurants I’ve been to and will like to recommend (unless stated otherwise!).
Benten Café
~For the whole of February, the month of Love~
Benten Café is a Japanese-Western fusion cafe at Jurong Point. A popular hangout place for the youth in the West, the cafe’s Benten Fisherman with White Sauce is one dish you will love if you like creamy pasta! Although I wouldn’t exactly call it a romantic dining place, but it will be a nice chance for the Westies (people who stayed in the West) to reminisce the sweet times you had at that place.

Morganfield’s
I did a food review for Morganfield’s last year and I’m still missing their delicious Sticky Bones. So this year, I am putting up the promotion again for whoever is interested to know! Coming from someone who usually opt for healthier alternatives, Morganfield’s is definitely a great place to have my once-in-a-blue-blue-moon indulgence!
~♥Just for Valentine’s Day♥~
Morganfield’s have a Valentine’s Day special at $68.90++ per pax (valid only after 5pm * Just for Valentine’s Day*) which I will only recommend if both of you are big eaters.
~For the whole of February, the month of Love~
If not, opt for their $49.90 Morgan’s Perfect Porky Combo at $49.90 (valid for whole of February 2014)! Trust me, if both of you have the common new year resolution of keeping fit, this combo is definitely enough to give you food coma.
Tiffany’s Health Tip: Opt for healthier side-kicks to feel less sinful (ie, Garden vegetables)

Dining at Mount Faber
~♥Just for Valentine’s Day♥~
I always had a soft spot for Mount Faber, as it was the first place my first love brought me to, on our first date. But back then, at 106 metres above sea-level, dining at Mount Faber seems out of reach. I always had the impression that it is meant for the wealthy (or atas people) only. With 3 different options to dine at, you can go all romantic at the Cable Car Sky Dining (click to see menu) $320, chill with a great view at Spuds & Aprons (click to see menu) $220, or enjoy the nature and greenery at Faber Bistro (click to see menu) $120. Prices range from $120-$320 per couple.

Beary Special@ Bear Bites
~♥Just for Valentine’s Day @ Scape♥~
Well, Bear Bites is a sweet little cozy place just outside Nex where you can grab a cute meal and catch one or two Valentine’s Day movie at Cineleisure Cathay. If you are uncomfortable dressing up for some fine dining, why don’t let your hair down and enjoy your dinner with your loved one the Taiwan style? It’s TGIF after-all!
P.S. Remember to end of the day by indulging in the sweet Bear Paw Gelato!

I think you and your partner should go to your favorite restaurant too during a Valentine’s Date.
Awww!!! I want to try Dining at Mount Faber in the cable car. Its so romantic. Hope that my wish will come true.
one reason to celebrate a Valentines Day. I’m glad you shared this. Thank you for sharing
These are great options and deals for the Valentines date. Most woman I know would love to be taken to Mount Faber – a woman’s dream date location (luxurious ambiance). However, if someone was to take me to any of these, I’d want to be taken to Morganfield’s. Haha! I would love to taste those pork! Hehe.
I’m taking note of these places for my next visit in SIngapore. They all look like excellent places to have a good meal.
Thanks for sharing the different places but most of the time places are overly crowded and you can’t get to dine properly.
I already forgot where did I go together with my dear this Valentine. We prefer to stay at home instead going out. Thanks for sharing.
Finding the right place is definitely key. I guess you can make it a special time whatever you do though,
Great information shared through this post!! All places are looking perfect to celebrate special-day!!
im not a big fan of valentines day. i really don’t see the point of it
My V-Day party / treat always comes a day early because my birthday falls on the day before Valentine’s Day. But I usually just chill at home on Valentine’s Day because I want to avoid the uber terrible traffic on that day because everyone just seems to be out and there are concerts left & right. I have experienced it once and I don’t want to go through it again even. Ever.
This year though, P and I started a new V-Day tradition. Instead of just chillin at home, we spent it in another country. Funny how when we were in KL, I saw posts of friends who were not in PH that weekend. I guess we all wanted to avoid the traffic. Lol.
Oh all these menus make me hungry now.You look lovely on the feature picture btw Tiff. <3
We do not really go out on Valentine Day itself because of the heavy traffic itself. Often it is also a school night, so we have to be with the kids. We just celebrate it in our own simple ways nowadays as the kids are growing up. – Fred
What a lovely idea for a post. I like how you rated different areas of each establishment.

I love looking for specials during Valentine’s Day. All these places are perfect for a romantic date.
