♡ Ellenborough Market Café - 14th February, Friday ♡

Happy Double Valentine's Day

ෆ did asked me what i want for valentine's but i told him i don't need anything as a treat to our favorite buffet is enough. I rather we spend the money to beautify our home or have better clarity or color for my ring.

We prefer last year's Valentine's movie, 'Upside Down' which is exciting & not those lovey dovey scenes. This ෆ of mine is forever late. 3:15 is the starting timing but he only arrived at 3:25 & we had to queue to collect the tickets which i couldn't do so on my own without his credit card.
Speaking of which, when he's booking the tickets he manged to book for the wrong day

@ Swissotel Merchant Court's Ellenborough Market Café
Nearest Mrt Station: Clarke Quay Exit B

Their snow crab, prawns & chicken are so soft & succulent! Too bad they don't serve crayfish anymore, such a disappointment! Last year's anniversary dinner @ Ellenborough Market Café where they still served crayfish.

durian pengat!

Doubt that we will patronize again as any other buffets will have snow crabs & prawns but not crayfish & durian pengat can be substituted by real durian instead.

17th February

Actually wanted to publish the Valentine's post alone but this post will look miserly with only 3 pictures. Quality(the contents) > than quantity alright?

So sad that whenever ෆ bring me to satisfy my craving the shop will be closed. Am i that unlucky? Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre is never closed on Mondays unlike certain hawker centres which will be closed.
But they had a big spring cleaning going on so we had to go to the next best, Hong Lim Food Centre for crayfish hor fun as we were let down by Ellenborough Market Café.

We only met like 3 hours as ෆ went for an appointment @ JannPaul for my proposal ring which was introduced by my brother as they had good service & not pushy at all. But you got to book an appointment with them before visiting (no walk-ins).
They even go through a lesson on diamonds (their cutting, color, clarity etc) under a microscope. Actually i know how my ring looks like already, the shape etc & there's a serial number inside the ring too.
