I hate it when occasions deserving of a celebration with my baby fall on a weekday. A huge chunk of the day would have been wasted as he has to work and i might have classes.

How could we let Valentine's Day go by jux like that? Hence, we devoted the weekend before Valentine's Day to our celebration~ Hee~

Here's our food trail!


10th February, Saturday:

Behold~
Jellyhearts! So pretty! ^_^
The 3 layers of a jellyheart~
These were so yummy! Such a pretty sight too! These undoubtedly made a most wonderful gift for Valentine's Day~ The strawberry jelly layer was not too sweet, the cheesecake layer was rich, and the crust layer was yummylicious-ly crumbly~ Love the perfect little strawberry hearts embedded in the jelly!

Jellyhearts is a home business; u can call 94597711 to order~ $8 for a box of 10 or $16 for a box of 20~

Made cheese omelettes with sausages and baked beans at the side, accompanied by a glass of chilled ribena~
Was good! ^_^

Cheesy~
Watched Spirited Away as we ate~ Exchanged pressies~ Made love coupons for baby! He loved them~ ^_^

Part of what i got from baby:


All the goodies are heart-shaped! So sweet! ^_^

Jux thought that this looked nice~
Headed to chinatown to soak in the chinese new year atmosphere~ We were packed like sardines and the heat was unbearable! Still fun nevertheless; bought some interesting candies for the upcoming Chinese New Year~

Had our dinner there~


Can't remember the exact name of the restuarant, but there's "tiong bahru" in it. We had lemon chicken rice and it came with peanut soup. Baby ordered 2 more side dishes; their zhao pai tofu and stir fried veggies~ Everything was so tasty! ^_^


11th February, Sunday:

Decided on making chicken chop! It was our first attempt and im proud to say that we did a pretty fine job!


Look at the huge servings! Especially our favourite straight-cut fries and that heap of coleslaw! Wahaha~


Dinner was wanton mee in heeren~ Im sure most people who have been to heeren would know about this place. Pontian wanton mee or noodles, not too sure~

I love their springy noodles, unlike those factory-made quality offered in most coffee shops' stalls. Their fried wantons are crispy and fillings are generous. Noodles are tossed in this savoury dark sauce; mouthwatering! Self-service for green chilli (perfect condiment for wanton mee!) and mayonnaise (essential for the fried wanton!)~


14th February, Wednesday, Valentine's Day!

Chairs adorned with little ribbons, in contrast to the huge ribbons used last year (did not actually go there last year, jux happened to see them)~
We actually made a reservation a week ago for dinner at terra cafe (bugis) on Valentine's Day; foreseeing the sizable crowds and long queues everywhere.

Proved to be a wise choice as we look at the long queue snaking from the restaurant's entrance to who-knows-where and thought, "Ha! Silly people who did not make reservations! Serves u all right for having to wait! I shall take my time and slowly devour my food while u all stand waiting with ur bouquets of flowers and aching feet!" Wahaha~

Evil, i know. ^_^

Pretty decor

2 fish 'n chips sets (includes soup-of-the-day and dessert) and shared a chocolate milkshake. Blissful~ ^_^

Roses in 3 different colours from baby~ ^_^
Aren't the roses huge?

Look what i found:


There's TWO strawberry kiss(es) inside!!! How rare! Jux reached into a bag of strawberry kiss(es) which mum bought and fished this out! What a timely find for Valentine's Day! ^_^

I call this good boding! ^_^
