TimeOut

A simple celebration of 15 years...

 

The missus and I went out for a simple dinner last night to celebrate 15 years of friendship, togetherness and commitment to continue to work through issues that will inevitably arise.

Me not being a foodie (and would be much happier if I did not have to eat smile )  was at a loss of where to go.  Wife suggested somewhere at Marina Bay Sands which prompted  my instinctive next move to call good buddy Horogasm on where to go.  Horogasam knows I ain;t a foodie and am not the biggest fan of fancy, long and drawn out food related affairs so he suggested CUT, one of the best steak joints in town or so he says (I really would not know smile ).  CUT however only had a table free from 9.30 and being a work and school night, that was not good so Gasm kindly took the initiatve and effort to make a reservation on my behalf at DB Bistro...  I just had to show up, order and enjoy.

I'll let the pics tell the tale and will recommend this place for anyone visiting if you want good enough fare in a less than stuffy and formal ambience but yet, not overly casual..



A great Tomato soup which I started and then remembered to take a pic smile


A very refreshing and light Tomato salad ...


Boston scallops as the main..



This is a damn good choco based desert.. I forget whatthey call it but its greata dn not overly rich...




Have a great weekend all.

... that's an important milestone to celebrate. And at least you had someone's hand to hold at DB Bistro. Click here for my experience ... Nice watch pair too. Hope the future is bright as well. Andrew

You know more about fancy food places in Singapore than I do Andrew

and yes, the wine we had was also very nice. Again, I am no wine expert. My wife had a Pinot Noir of sorts to go with her pasta and I had a white to blend with the scallops.

Singapore dinning ....

Fifteen years is a wonderful milestone, and I wish you and your wife many more happy, healthy years together. That chocolate dessert looks delish! Did it have a molten center? Cheers, Daos

15 years seems like a long timein today's context but as I tell close ones, I am still a hot blooded male and can;t resist looking at the fairer sex but I cannot imagine being without my better half.

I'm the same way..

It'll be 25 years of marriage this September and I couldn't possibly think I'd even happier than I am now. Food question: Did the Boston Scallops taste fresh? I work in Boston, Mass and Singapore is a loooooong ways away to keep the bivalves really fresh.

They call it Boston scallops

Congrats!

... that you weren't able to try Cut! A little pricey, but what an excellent cut of meat you get for the price! Plus I'm quite a fan of the interior decor, think they did a very good job with that. Good you enjoyed DB Bistro though! I however, wasn't exac... 

Now I really gotta try CUT

 
By: ArthurSG : May 18th, 2012-16:17
I love steaks and yes, the place looks nicely decked out. I think they have a warhol style portrait of Brad Ptt at the bar... Gasm reckons the pizza parlor opposite CUT will be loved by the kids as well.

Yes!

If you're talking about Pizzaria Mozza than yes, it wont disappoint! Easily the best pizza in town!

Yup. Unfortunately with the

kids and work, the misses and I do not get out often enough but with a still youngish family, I guess that is to be expected.

Congratulations on your 15 years Arthur

You might not have know where to go but you sure knew what to do, to find where to go. lol And that's what it's all about! Looks like you had an excellent time with your wife; I hope you and her have many more years ahead. Warmest, Helen

Helen. I hope the loss of some sight is only temporary.

Congratulations Arthur
