The hubby and I completed six whole years of marital bliss today! Phew, how time flies!
Given that this anniversary is the first one with the little one around, we wanted to spend time with her as well as just by ourselves. So we ended up having two outings for the day!
But first, I must mention the nice lunch prepared by our helper Lakshmi. She was sweet enough to even make payasam to go along with the vegetable rice and cauliflower curry. God bless her!
Post lunch, the first outing was to Orchard Road with the little one. While we were there, we decided to get her ears pierced. Yeah! Her pediatrician had recommended to get it done after the first three months and also recommended a place which is popular for getting this done for babies. When we came across the recommended shop, B'Dazzle @ Wisma Atria, we decided that now is the best time to get this done. And sure enough, the procedure took less than five minutes and hardly any tears, much to our surprise. After the ear piercing, followed by a Starbucks visit, we dropped the little one back at home and then set out again, just the two of us this time.
We walked around window shopping at Raffles City for a bit and then made our way to the French restaurant Le Bistrot Du Sommelier at Armenian Street. This was highly recommended by a friend and it was our first time there. And man, we fell in love with the place!
Firstly, the service was really good. For instance, when we couldn't figure out which wine to order, they let us taste all the house pour options so we could decide. When we ran out of the bottle of still water just as dinner was ending, they came and quietly refilled it without making us buy another bottle. When they realized that I had kept my purse on the floor, they brought an extra chair to keep my purse on it. They took a good five minutes and explained in detail each of the items on menu to us. So on and so forth.
The great service was then topped by greater food!
We ordered:
a) Ouef Cocotte (Starter) - Baked organic egg in cocotte with chicken and foie gras brioche/mushroom toast - YUM YUM YUM
b) Catch of the day - It came with white wine sauce and roasted potatoes. - YUM YUM YUM
c) Cuisse De Canard Confite Aux Choix - French duck leg confit cassoulet style with streaky bacon, pork sausage, lamb shoulder baked in a white beans stew - YUM YUM. (This one gets only double YUMs because the quantity was too much and we couldn't finish it up, which is a less than ideal scenario)
d) Creme Brulee a la vanille de Madagascar - Creme Brulee with fresh vanilla beans - YUM YUM YUM
Nett, it was a beautiful anniversary day that I spent with my wonderful family over some wonderful food and time spent together.
Here's to many more!
