Victorine - Diary of Life

Today is a special day so me and Jimmy decide to have a special dinner

At first we planned to eat at Feast@East, but we were at City Hall and didn’t want to waste our time getting back to  east side. So we scrolled around Marina Square, Suntec City and Raffles City, I was quite picky since I was trying to look for a place that was cozy enough yet affordable. Jimmy prefered buffet dinner so we could spend time talking but I was still full at that time (we had our lunch at 2 and it was only 6 pm at that time).

After quite some time, we found a nice place, you can called it candlelite dinner The place is called Aerin’s.

It is located at Raffles City, Market Place. The place is quite unique, it has ‘its own’ little waterfall. So we can eat and enjoy the fountain at the same time. And the price I think quite reasonable for such place.

So,  here’s our order :

Appetizer: Pumpkin Soup

The soup was only so-so, besides of sweet taste, there was no other taste, so I thought it was not really recommended at all. But I do like the small bread that come with the soup. Anyway, you can buy such bread at any bread store ;p

For main dishes, we picked dishes with ‘Healthy Choice’ logo attached Trying to eat good in a healthy way, hehehe.

Jimmy’s Main Dish : Chicken XXX (forgot leh :p)

I got lots of critique on this dish, first It’s not good looking at all, you could see two triangle bread and chicken drowned inside the red sauce. Secondly, we could only taste the sauce which taste like tomato sauce. These two points can tell you everything, I was quite disappointed on this dish. The good point was only there were lots of garlics and other vege inside, that’s why it has ‘Healthy Choice’ label on it.

My Main Dish: Fillet of Snapper

I love fish, this dish also got ‘Healthy Choice’ Label. Quite a simple dish, first layer was smashed potato, second layer was french beans and on its top was a slice of fish fillet. The taste was also quite simple, not really special but it was quite ok for me :).

Dessert : Warm and Cold Dessert

This the best part of all It was warm brownies with cold ice cream on its top. The brownies was nice, I could taste the bitter sweet chocolate and the ice cream was also nice. Perfect match! Yummmmy, Plus it was very nicely prepared.

Summary: 50:50 I will probably come back to this place.

We spent about $65 for this dinner. Not bad Anyway if we went to buffet, we would have spent around $80 and ate till we really really had to crawl to go back :p

+ Affordable candlelite dinner

+ Good services

- The fountain is quite noisy, unless if u don’t mind :p

- The foods was so-so (except for the dessert :p)
