17th September 2008 signifies the 999th day that Dear and I had been together. Needless to say, we need a celebration for this special day!
After much unrest, we finally decided to have our dinner at the Wood Restaurant@VivoCity. A restaurant in VivoCity? I kept my fingers crossed. However, upon entry of the restaurant, I knew the night will turn out to be a pleasant and enjoyable one.
Wood Restaurant@VivoCity
We ordered the 6-course signature set dinner with the pairing supplement. Each dish was so exquisitely displayed and amazingly tasty. The restaurant served wood fired specialities or as their tagline goes “Cuisine Flamed by The Forest”. I liked in particular their Smoked scallop, Foie Gras and the dessert. What a pity that we were not allowed to take pictures of the food. *Sighs* To have every dish supplemented by a glass of wine is really such a wonderful dining experience. I simply love wine so much!!!!!! *slurpzzzz*
Due to some mis-communication with the waitress and our carelessness in reading the menus, we ended up forking out alot more money than we thought the original pricing of the dinner was. *Sighs* What to do? But we enjoyed the dinner very much. For that kind of service, food and ambience, I guess the money was still well-spent. It is 999th for goodness sake! Now we will remember how we spent our 999th day. "Where did we go for our 999th ah? Ohhh! The one where we overspent ah! OOOhhhhhh...." *sighz* And Dear, hope that teaches you to do your homework next time!

Satisfied customers? hmmm...
After dinner, we proceeded for a chill-out session at Klee@Portsdown Road. A concept bar where there is no menu. My faves i.e. wine and beer are not served as well. Instead, cocktails concocted to the customers' likings are served. Though we had to wait for almost 20 minutes for the drinks, the wait was a pleasant one as we watched with impress as the bartender prepared the drinks. Not to mention the drinks which were refreshing to our palates.
The interior is rather simple yet classy. Upon entry, we were greeted by a long bar counter with a white piano and a seating lounge at both corners in front of the counter. There is actually quite abit of space left for more tables but the bartender said that is the idea and no one is allowed to stand inside. 30 seaters indoors maximum. Really concept sia. However, outdoor seating is often available. We sat at the bar counter which has 27 chairs - none of them identical. Too bad there was no piano performance for the night.
Overall, it is a nice chill-out place to spend some quiet and romantic moments. Good for first dates for the guy to impress the girl. However, the drinks are considered slightly pricey for me. $20+ for a cocktail. Hmmmm....But again....it is 999th!!! Hee...
