1. Surprise her with a candlelight
dinner at Au Jardin
For an exquisite French culinary experience in a breathtaking
setting, eat at this former colonial residence in the Singapore
Botanical Gardens. With an outdoor terrace, just 12 tables,
and a total capacity of 42, it's perfect for romantic moments.
At night a huge chandelier casts a romantic glow over the upstairs
balcony. Ask for one of the three tables on the glassed-in terrace.
At dinner, choose between a seven-course "Menu Dégustation"
and the chef's "Renaissance Menu", a 14-course extravanganza.
If you are on a budget, you can come here for lunch, when there
is a reasonably priced set menu, and the setting is easier to
appreciate. This is certainly the prettiest place to dine in
Singapore!

3. Clink your wine-glasses amidst
the gothic charm of CHIJMES.
As you enter this bustling enclave of retail shops, restaurants,
and nightspots, it's difficult to imagine this was once a. old
convent and school. CHIJMES, with its gothic architecture, stained
glass windows, manicured lawns and paved courtyards is exquisitely
romantic.
Clink your wine-glass over a romantic dinner at Maison de Fontaine.
Sit in the cool breezy courtyard and go starry-eye over the
homemade duck pate with foie gras d'Oie and the soufflé
with Grand Marnier, surrounded by cascading fountains and the
faint strains of music. Or indulge yourself with Italian food
sitting in the romantic gazebo of Pizzeria Giardino. There are
many other restaurants to choose from, you won't be disappointed.

5. Reinvigorate yourself with
a balanced Yin-Yang meal at the Imperial Herbal Restaurant.
Imperial Herbal Restaurant prepares great food that is good
for you and your loved one. Blending the secrets of traditional
herbal medicine along with the culinary skills of master chefs,
this restaurant located at Metropole Hotel, has created over
100 menu items each with specific therapeutic purpose. And if
you're not sure what's bothering you, a Chinese herbalist will
give you a quick check-up right in the restaurant while you
dine!
In the Chinese diet, there are five flavours: bitter foods that
affect the heart; sour the liber; sweet the spleen and stomach;
pungent the lungs; and salty the kidneys. All foods possess
certain properties that influence the yin & yang equilibrium.
When there is an imbalance, illness results. In Chinese herbal
medicine, the root cause- and not just the symptoms- must be
identified and treated with a diet that restores the equilibrium.
Before the dish is cooked by master chef, the herbal doctor
carefully prepares mixtures of herb powders, root slivers and
tonics. These medicinal ingredients are then added to the highest
quality meat, fish and vegetables to become mouth-watering morsels
and delicacies.
