a date with hubby

I am sure many parents with young kids will agree that once your little one comes along, the couple will have to purposefully find time to go out and spend quality time with each other, without the kids. To me, that is an important factor to keep the marriage going strong, bearing in mind that our soulmate will be the one to accompany us till the very end of our days.

So after a busy month, or should be months, i decided that i would just take an afternoon off and go pak toh with hubby. Has been such a busy year so far, since Jan 11 till June 11…. time literally zoom past, not even a breeze. So to take stock of the remaining half of the year, we have to do something!!

Always enjoy paktoh days, where we can just chill out and take things slower, without having to run after the kid or trying to control the kid from messing up the dining table.

And so, off we catch the new Transformer movie. I am not a transformer fan. But my hubby is. Thankfully, the entire movie was pretty interesting, enough to keep me awake for the whole movie (given the fact that we had a tough night the previous night as Justin woke up at 5am to play!!!)

After dinner, we decided to go for steamboat!! Something that we both enjoy and definitely wont be able to go if Justin was with us.

So off we went to Bugis 鲜得来火锅！！

Actually this is not one of the cheapest and best buffet around, but at least its environment is rather clean as compared to the rest.

And i love the special chicken prepared by the chef. 香辣子鸡。Good and delicious appetiser!

The fried dried chilli that will go into the soup base later on.

My concocted sauce.  

and these are some of the items that we ordered…

Dory fish fillet

Golden mushroom

Big head bean sprout

Fresh crab

Fresh prawns

Beef fillet

Quail eggs

 

Luncheon meat

Vegetables

and many more… but too busy eating and forgot to take pictures…

Has been a long time we have a peaceful dinner….. but we both agree that we felt weird without Justin around. haha.

Guess we are too used to having Justin around us already. =,=

But nonetheless, so enjoy the dinner!!!

actually wanted to go for dessert after that, but both of us were full to the brim!! So decide to shelf that for another day. =)

looking forward to the next paktoh day….
