My Birthday Celebration

spent my whole birthday with dear hubby. hubby purposely flied in to see me & chloe and of cos to celebrate my BIG DAY with me.

part 1
we started our day by taking lunch at mandarin hotel's chatterbox. yummy of cos! that's my favourite chicken rice. after lunch, i couldnt help but did some shopping at taka. hubby claimed that i am a shopping queen, haha!

part 2
went to sentosa for luge rides. havent been doing this ever since i got pregnant. after that spent some time at sentosa cove, looking at those new projects & developments. oceanfront's construction is halfway done.

part 3
hubby secretly arranged cable car sky dining for our dinner! *surprise*

we arrived at Jewel Box around 7pm, the waiter invited us to sit down and offered us refreshment.

we began our round 1 with cream of tomato soup served with garlic crostini & smoked salmon salad with mascarpone cheese. the salad was very fresh tasting, sort of a spring mix with a light oil and vinegar dressing, but the mascarpone cheese was a bit too sour for me. the soup was light and less creamy then most, but considered a very nice, light start for the meal.


during the 2nd round, hubby ordered grilled beef tenderloin with rosemary jus and I ordered pan-fried fillet of salmon with honey miso as our main courses. both main courses were each preceded with sautéed garden vegetables and caramelized potatoes. when we started to eat, the food was already cold. both the beef terderloin and fillet of salmon were slightly tough.

3rd round, the dessert was a piece of chocolate brownie that served with chocolate sauce and strawberry coulis. i would say the taste was below average.

we departed from mt. faber's jewel box, went round and round, altogether 3 rounds of cable car ride, travelling in between mt. faber, harbour front and sentosa. we spent nearly 1 1/2 hours for whole dinner, and at the end chose to dropped off at harbour front.

overall, the foods were rated average only. however, it was an incredible dining experience on board a cable car. we get to enjoy the panaromic view and the scenic landscape of harbour & city while eating. it had a feel of privacy 'cos only two of us in the cable car, and the candle set just the right mood.

thank you hubby for the arrangement! i appreciate your efforts for trying to make my birthday dinner a unique one ... and thanks too for the birthday present. this phone model certainly looks cool to me, i like it very much! love you muaks =* !
