A perfect day

Yesterday was a perfect day...

Peaceful afternoon at spa botanica

An afternoon at sentosa's spa botanica was just what i needed...Haha my favourite part of these spas is actually pouring over the spa's menu and deciding which treatment you want to pamper yourself with. Heh. rather narcissistic and self-seeking but what the heck--if you don't indulge yourself, who will? ;>

There were endless choices..stress-relief massages, body wraps, aromatherapy massages etc etc..but in the end i decided on the sumatran coffee scrub..'Enliven your skin with this exfoliating blend of coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. Coffee has a diuretic and stimulating effect on the body. Cocoa is high in omega fatty acids that nourish and moisturise. Cinnamon gently warms skin to boost blood circulation.' Heheh sounds good eh?=)

Dinner with Nic was at Il Lido (the new restaurant at Sentosa Golf Club)..To those who love good food, great views, lovely ambience.. you HAVE to try this chic italian restaurant! Especially if you liked Pontini's..their head chef moved here..so you can be rest assured what you get is authentic fabulous italian food! The view is even better than The Cliff..cos what you see is an extraordinary view of the Singapore Straits. And if you go at the right time, you can catch a beautiful sunset!

And though I wanna gush some more about the view, their food deserves special mention. Nic had the veal cheek (special of the day)--I tried a piece since i was curious to know how veal cheek (yup the cheeks on the face, not butt--i hope) tasted--Oh my goodness, i don't think i can ever touch meat without thinking about that piece of divine-melt-in-your-mouth veal again.

I had their speciality: Aglio e olio pasta with sea urchin. What a name..Well it was really good, a little out of this world! i don't think i've actually pasta like that before..the sauce was actually mashed up sea urchin & italian parsley mixed with white wine, olive oil & garlic. The more i ate, the more i liked it, but it was finished all too soon. (Why are all their portions so small??)

To end off a really good meal, the dessert was just the thing. Venetian tiramisu..definitely one of the best i've ever tasted! A sure winner!=)
Well it was just an awesome dinner..Both Nic & i thought it was great..so here i am spreading the word! It's not as ex as certain restaurants, so definitely worth trying!;>
