Anniversary celebrations

It was the start of a beautiful day.

Good sunshine. Anticipation of the day. And Dear picking me up.

*drumroll* It's our 4th anniversary celebrations!

The first thing that greeted me when I walked down to Dear's car.

Flowers and bear! Dear bought me orange roses. While it's sweet, dun buy me flowers again ok, dun waste the money. Unless it's for a very impt special occasion. Hurhur.

I was excited to go for a brunch. I've always wanted to go for brunch and be like a tai tai, taking things leisurely and going to unique places to relax. But Dear beat me to the game and brought me to a nice brunch place first!

And off we heard for brunch at a special place that Dear sussed out. I love going to quaint little places. The road in to the restaurant at the old Turf Club. And I saw a white horse crossing the road!

Exterior view of the restaurant: Mimolette. Very nice ambience though food and service are not that great.

We sat at the alfresco area. Lucky it was not too hot though Dear got a bit warm after a while. Hee.

Looking into the interior from where we sitting. After we were seated, two groups of ang mohs came for their brunch and it got a bit noisy. But it's all rite with me.

My food! Not super fantastic but still yum yum.

Dear's food. I liked mine better. Think I dun really like smoke salmon, too salty for my taste.

And the aftermath. We were so stuffed after eating. The serving was HUGE.

And after eating, we walked around to explore the area and take photos. You just dun feel like you are in SG when u are in this kind of places. A welcome break from reality.

I gave Dear a Chelsea waterbottle and car sign for his anniversary presents. Our dear bear is holding the card that came with the car sign.

I bought the gifts on my work trip. I hope Dear liked the stuff.

And Dear bought me a camera! He had to rush out the night before to get me the present becos he never buy anything for me! So sad lor! My dear dun noe wat to get for me.

But I appreciate his efforts and thoughts. Let the camera be the start of many more new memories tog!

So beside not knowing what to buy for me, Dear also didn't know wat to do before dinner.

He termed our anniversary as a gastronomic journey but I know u anyhow hum dump lah!

But never mind, cos we went to church after brunch and then after that, do a bit shopping and go for dinner. So it really work out well in the end, lucky u are saved by church lor!

And in the evening after church, we made our way to Tanjong Katong for dinner.

Dear booked a Jap buffet dinner at Minori. I've never see this retro shophouses before lor, so sua ku.

There was an Indian man sleeping on the roadside in one of the car park lots, so scary and one car almost wanted to park into that lot.

Dun understand what the Indian man was thinking.

The restaurant was quite nicely decorated.

It also has a seating table. We had a funky waiter for the night who attended to us very well that night.
But the menu of the buffet was quite limited in my opinon, so dun think it'll be very worthwhile to eat there.

Our brunch was not fully digested yet so we couldn't unleash our full eating power. Instead, we spent more time seating there and chatting haha.

The food was not that memorable too, although the beef yakitori was quite good.

I felt so fat after the day and I think I looked three month pregnant with all the food inside me.

Nonetheless, it was a happy day and I felt special. Can't wait til for our 5th year anniversary!
