Reden and I celebrated the coming of the new year at the Conrad Centennial Singapore. We thought it would be a nice change from our usual celebration here at our apartment in Upper East Coast.
We checked in at around lunch time on New Year's Eve then had a delicious seafood lunch at the Manhattan Fish Market at Marina Square. After that we went back to the hotel and took a nap. We woke up to the pitter patter of raindrops on our room's windows and figured it would be nice to have afternoon tea at the Executive Lounge, where there was an extensive selection of snacks and beverages.
Around 6PM we started to get ready for our 8PM dinner at Golden Peony. We had our clothes pressed earlier that afternoon and they were delivered right on time. At around past 7PM, we checked out the hors d'oeuvres served at the Executive Lounge but unfortunately, they already ran out of food! Reden just had a glass of wine, while I sampled a piece of dimsum. I didn't want to be too full for our 5-course dinner!
At 8PM, we went to Golden Peony, where we were promptly lead to our table. I think it was our first time to have a semi-formal date like this and it was really nice. The environment was relaxed and the place wasn't intimidating. We had a great time chatting in between courses, which were all delicious!
Since we were in the city, we thought we could walk close to where the fireworks will be displayed, but we were too full after our dinner and just too lazy to do anything! So we just turned on the TV and watched from there.
It was a memorable new year's eve celebration and I hope we can do it again!
