With V-day just around the corner (read: TOMORROW!), perhaps some would like to skip the crowd and celebrate a day or so later than most; or perhaps even during the weekend? Here are 5 places that offer a touch of romance, even after the official Valentine’s Day is over. Besides, who said we have to assign a day to celebrate love?
The Summerhouse
Open for brunch on weekends and public holidays, and dinners from mid-week to Sundays, The Summerhouse is an ideal location for any celebration amidst nature in a sprawling conservation bungalow on the idyllic grounds of Seletar Airport. Be it your preference for a Magical Space for Two in the Secret Garden, or a relaxed afternoon at Wildseed Café, this location is sure to set the mood for a romantic afternoon.

The Sampan
In essence, few things are more romantic than a scenic stroll accompanied by your loved one along the river, dotted by lights and soft cheers coming from nearby establishments. Located along Boat Quay, The Sampan, celebrates romance this February with an exclusive three- course menu from now till Friday, 15th of February. Where most celebratory menus are made for one, The Sampan offers a “His” and “Hers” Valentine’s Day selection, bearing in mind that these days, it’s not necessarily the guy that’s the heartier eater.

Monti
Perhaps one of the larger set menu options available for the season, Monti offers diners a 6-course menu consisting of Amuse Bouche of baccalà, Hokkaido Scallops, King Salmon Tartare, Sponge cakes, Gelato, and Candy Floss to say the least. With each dish presented via a myriad of techniques, this joint brings new meaning to art on a plate, with some dishes possibly being too pretty to eat.

Mitzo
For an Asian twist on Valentine’s Day, indulge in a menu crafted to include Truffle Chicken Spring Rolls, Double-boiled Abalone Soup, Lemongrass baked Pork Ribs, and Steamed Lobsters with miso, and the like. While this occasion is surely a Western invention, there are some of us who just can’t do without that very Asian bowl of rice during mealtime. Throw in a pre-dinner cocktail, aptly named Bed of Roses, and voila~ After all, who would say no to roses on Valentine’s, right?

SPRMRKT Cambodia
For the unconventional couple, here’s a chance to pay it forward this Valentine’s Day with EGBOK and Spoons as they come together to showcase Cambodia’s authentic and piquant cuisine. For 2 days only, during 14 and 15 February, Spoons chefs Sun Sam Oath and Heng Vicheka will marry the flavours of the Cambodian countryside and traditional street food to present a romantic 6-course Valentine’s Day set dinner menu that features some of Spoon’s biggest hits created with the featured Cambodian produce on retail.
Think Kor Ko Soup – a traditional Cambodian stirring stew with toasted IBIS rice and Sovannak palm sugar; or Pan Seared Duck Breast glazed in a La Plantation Kampot peppercorn orange sauce, and give your special someone the gift of giving back with 15% of the proceeds from both evenings returning to EGBOK, which in turn affords more underprivileged young adults in Cambodia the opportunity to succeed in the hospitality industry.
Likewise, local boutique florist Beverly’s Blooms gets in on the spirit of giving by teaming up with SPRMRKT to not only complete each meal with their signature handcrafted bag-quets (bagged bouquets), but also pledge a portion of their proceeds back to EGBOK.
Making your bookings through Chope will also afford you a chance to win fantastic prizes, including a two-night stay at a four-star luxury boutique hotel in Siem Reap.
