I told Chris not to splurge too excessively on Valentine’s day, and that a simple dinner will do. However, considering that I’m hereby dating a 100% authentic Leo, I knew my pleas will be futile.
On February the 14th, I was told to dress in a slightly more formal outfit as we are heading out to dinner in a rather posh restaurant.
I put on my Pink dress which was only worn not more than 2 times, set my hair and makeup ; and we hopped on the taxi to the restaurant he booked prior to this occasion. ‘They don’t accept walk ins’ , he said.
The name of the restaurant is ‘Grapevine’ , less than a 10 minute drive from our area.
It was a lovely restaurant, I must say. It reminded me of the vintage style restaurants back in the older days,the Valentine’s Day setting, soft soothing sound of the piano and clarinet added to the romantic ambiance…..
Me
Him
Us
Snacks that were savored by us while we make our orders.
Notice that the menu does not list the price ?
Initially I was curious due to the fact that it was not usual for restaurants to omit the actual price of the meal, but at the same time I reasoned a bit with myself and thought that perhaps this was a like a set meal, and Chris had already paid for 2 pax.
APPARENTLY NOT !!!
It just occurred to me later that my cheeky boyfriend made an advance visit to this restaurant and specially requested for a special menu without any price tags to be made.
He mentioned that he merely wanted me to order anything I want without feeling guilty bout the cost.
I was of course stunned, and shocked, and speechless.
He understands me so well that he KNEW that I would pick my dish mainly based on the price, granted that it was Valentine’s day and he was buying the meal, I wouldn’t have the heart to order something extravagant that’ll burn a hole in his wallet.
But of course, thanks to this guy, his mission was accomplished. I’ll state the reason later.
Scallops wrapped in Bacon. Super yums !!
Fresh salad, very fresh indeed ! Especially the pepper.
Homemade bread, very fresh as well !
Chris’s Chicken Marsala.
veges that complemented my main course, which was…………………….
Lobster and Steak
Anyways the story behind my foolishness, well as I mentioned, I thought that Chris already paid for 2 pax hence everything on the menu cost the same since I simply ASSUMED that it was a set meal.
Actually, lobsters and steaks both don’t come cheap………………………………………………………
Bf with his food
Me happily posing without realizing that I actually picked the most expensive dish on the menu .
HOW CAN I EVEN COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT EVERYTHING ON THE MENU COSTS THE SAME DAMMIT !!!!!
*ahem*
Dessert !!!
We choose the one on the lower most right and the upper most left.
Just as the waitress was serving us our dessert, she left this small box on my side of the table.
I thought to myself ‘OH FREE CAKE !!!!’ and then pushed this thingy aside because I was too busy taking pictures of the dessert cakes.
For the next 5 minutes I captured tons of pictures and admired them while munching on the yummylicious cakes.
Then suddenly, I starred at the ‘free cake’ and proclaimed ‘HEY, THIS IS THE APPLE TRADEMARK RIGHT?? THIS ISN’T FREE CAKE !!! ‘ And my bf was like ‘DUH, IT’S AN IPOD!!!’
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH I’m so blur wtf
A sweet letter and the ‘free cake’ Ipod touch. LOL
The best bit – He remembered exactly what I wanted to write on the carvings ! Even though I mentioned it quite some time ago !!!!!!
 Excited beyond words, I’m such a blessed girl!
Thank you for such a wonderful day. I enjoyed myself and of course, I hope you did too.
You already know by heart what I’m going to say, so let’s just end it here.
Cheers to our first Valentine’s ! <3
