Valentine’s day is rapidly approaching, and this can only mean one thing – all my lovebird friends blowing my phone up, and bombarding me with one thousand and one questions on how to make this day special for their other half – as if I am Cupid himself.
“Eh, did she hint to you on what she wants recently?”
“Bro, you know also ah, V-day coming, where to bring her for dinner sia. Got suggestions not?”
It doesn’t matter if you’re celebrating your first-ever Valentine’s Day with your significant other, or your 10th, the jitters of planning a great, and solidly romantic night out always gets to us. Not to mention the endless list of things to worry about.
Like that overpriced bouquet of flowers you’re going to have to reserve weeks in advance, or finding a restaurant that’s the right level of class so you won’t look like you’re trying to hard, or breaking the bank. Don’t even get me started on what to wear on the actual day.
If the quest for the perfect Valentine’s Day has you tongue-tied and terrified, you can round off your arduous hunt because we’ve found exactly what you need.
Sitting amidst the lush greenery of Mount Faber, The Wine Kakis, a casual modern dining restaurant, is serving up a delicious 4-course dinner for all couples, and couples-to-be this 13th of February. A perfect option for those who want a modest, yet romantic dining experience without the Valentine’s Day crowd.
Just having opened back in 2015, the restaurant has its very own farm over in Kranji. And as its name would suggest, they also take their wine very seriously, serving up an array of boutique wines made exclusive to them from Australia, Chile, South Africa, France, Portugal, Spain & Italy.

Cream & Custard’s Signature Strawberry and Watermelon Cake
Treat yourselves to a modern mix of European dishes created specially for the event, a glass of red or white wine, and end the meal with a sweet finish, courtesy of the passionate team over at Tiong Bahru cafe, Cream & Custard.
What’s more, every couple will receive an exclusive goodie bag, and stand a chance to win a 2D1N staycation at The Quincy – a luxurious hotel right smack in the heart of town for an extended Valentine’s Day treat! Oh, and did we mention that ladies get a bouquet of flowers upon arrival? That means no more stressing over the logistics and type of flowers to get, lads.
Get all of this at just $140 per couple – Safra members get a special $40 discount! And before you start complaining about how pricey it is, think about how bouquets and wine can easily amount to much more. Besides, with a chance to win a free staycay, it turns out to be a pretty good deal!
With all of the difficult decisions out of the way, the only thing you’ll have to decide on now, is whether you want to attend the earlier session at 5.30pm, or the one at 8pm.
I know it might seem out of the ordinary to bring your date to a clubhouse, but organise a friendly game of bowling, or take an evening stroll around the scenic Mount Faber to end the night on a high note. Sometimes, simple is the best way to make an impression.
