My husband and I always love celebrating Valentines day together. So far, we’ve celebrated 13 Valentines days as a couple, and still counting! Here’s our day’s food roundup. 🙂
We started the day with a trip to Risa Chocolates’ chocolate kitchen! If you’re a chocoholic like me, you will love Risa Chocolates. Their kitchen is near SM Southmall, at BF Almanza (a few meters away from the guard house). The best way to enjoy chocolates is to eat it with your chocoholic friends, so we bought a few extra boxes of pralines and had a great time eating it with our connect group. Now that we know where their chocolate kitchen is, we’ll definitely visit again soon. Like next week.
For lunch, we decided to try out Sir Raffles, which serves authentic Singaporean cuisine. My husband ordered their hainanese chicken, which was good, and the portion was generous (especially the chicken rice). It was good, but I’m afraid we will always be partial to the Hainanese chicken of Ate Yellie. Hands down the best Hainanese chicken I’ve tasted so far. Sir Raffles’ Hainanese chicken is our second favorite.
I ordered their lamb curry with roti prata. Goodness, what a treat this dish is. The tender lamb goes really well with red curry. The heat of the curry was pleasant, not overpowering. It takes nothing away from my enjoyment of the dish. Their roti prata was really delicious. We ordered another plate of it. The simple pleasure of tearing off a piece of warm roti prata and dipping it in red curry is enough to make me want to go back. Next time we’ll call and order the claypot rice in advance. They say it takes about an hour to cook. Sir Raffles is in front of Puregold Jr, BF Homes Paranaque. Along Aguirre St.
After lunch, we went to our home connect meeting and what do you know…we ate more sweets. Haha. These are from Ate Yellie. My favorite is the walnut swirl!
After our home connect meeting, my husband and I went to Mama Lous for dinner.
We were thirty minutes early for our reservation but they accommodated us anyway. It was a busy night! So many couples and families having dinner together. This place is pretty special for me and my husband, so we always go back here. Also, we like the food and the friendly service.
Of course my husband ordered the marbled ribeye steak. That’s his favorite.
I prefer the more delicate fish and mushroom risotto. Each bite for me is heavenly. It makes me want to learn how to cook risotto. It’s a heartwarming dish, and leaves you craving for more risotto!
The set meal included blueberry cheesecake, but my husband and I simply cannot consider a visit to Mama Lou’s complete without our usual tiramisu and coffee. Thank God it’s available last night! This is, without a doubt, one of our favorite desserts. The perfect way to end a good dinner. 🙂
That’s it, our Valentines Day food roundup! Next year uli!
