Choupinette


Gosh, time literally flies for lil bro is coming back tomorrow! He's been away for almost 6 weeks, and I kinda missed him already, though we do speak on the phone whenever he has connection. Taking leave this week, so can pick him up at the naval base :) *wonders what presents he will buy for me, but I think better don't harbour too much hope, haha * Have consolidated quite a pile of pictures for the lil bro's NS journey, will share when I've sorted out the pictures. It felt like yesterday when I sent him into BMTC and now, he's about to have his commission parade in 3 months time from OCS. 

On a separate note, had a dinner date with Leecher  a visit to Choupinette! Have long heard raves about their brunches, but Leecher reserved a table for dinner instead. Well, better than nothing! 



All buckled up and ready to go :)

 
New clutch for our date today :)  

 
Took a lil walk around the neighbourhood.

 Choupinette, finally!

 
We were the first to arrive and they were still in the midst of preparing the restaurant. Bakery corner with bread displayed in baskets, sooooo french-ish. 

 
We were shown to our table, a cosy table at the corner of the restaurant. 

Outdoor dining is also available.

Leecher deciding what he wanna eat/drink, when there wasn't much of a choice given that the menu was already prefixed for us.

      
3 course meal, just need to decide on choice of starters, mains and desserts. With 2 dishes to choose for each course, it was easy for us to take 1 each and share. 

 
While we were left on our own to decide on the menu, they were busy preparing the restaurant for the other diners. Love the lil touches of flowers and candles on the table :) 
 
Our own table setting.

 Waiting for starters to be served!

 
Ready to tuck in! 
 
Bread was served warm, much to our delight :) I prefer my bread with butter. House pour were 1-for-1 at $14 each. 

 
Entrees consisted of Soup of the Day - Green Pea soup or Garden Salad. As much as I love Choupinette for their cosy and homely environment, I was extremely disappointed with their choices of entrees.

For mains, I had duck confit served with lentils and caramelized onions while Leecher had beef stew served with mash potato.

 The waiters were ever so ready to help us take pictures :) 

 Desserts - chocolate mousse and creme brulee. Creme brulee was slightly disappointing, for it wasn't sweet (more for the health conscious).

Would love to come back again for their brunch items *Leecher, another task for you!*

  
Wore a simple white/black dress, paired with heels & envelope clutch. I realised that I've been bringing clutches out for our dates recently, haha! 

 with the dearest! *muacks*

Taiwan: Love Story Building 爱情故事馆

After departing from 富田花園農場, we walked over to 爱情故事馆. Love Story Building is located along the main road when we alighted from the bus, hence it was quite easy to re-trace the route back from Tomita Farm.


 
Helping couples to take pictures :) gladly obliged so I can build up on good karma during my trips, so people will gladly take pictures for me too, haha! 

 
See, karma returned almost immediately.
The outdoor area, where I think would be great for holding weddings. I can totally imagine couples saying their vows in front of the lil chapel. The sun was scorching hot, so we hurried into the building to enjoy the air-con and looking at the exhibits.

 
Let the tour begin! This place is actually quite small, with a couple of exhibits. Can easily finish in less than 1 hour. 

 
 
 
Since we are in a "love" environment, must get Leecher to propose to me (again) in front of the lil chapel.

  
While browsing through wedding accessories, we spotted a pic of 刘畊宏 & wife, with best friend Jay Chou. From this pic, I think Jay Chou looked more like the groom than best man. 

 
Signature of President Ma. Think this is the prized possession of this place. 
 
  
Leecher trying to show off his (lack of) music talent. 

  
Parents-in-law, taking a break before moving to the next destination.

 
 
Vespa! We all wanted a picture with it.  Notice the walls were all filled up with chinese words .... on one panel, it gave an insight to what kind of husband/wife will each horoscope sign be and here's what our horoscope says:

* 射手座老婆性子火爆,虽然常会为顾事业家庭吵架, 丈夫脾气, 仍然爱的.

*双鱼座老公天生温柔体贴相处,但随着年龄的增加,受到影响, 他们但性子急, 自以为是.天生一家之主子.

Hmm, not so true afterall, but who knows for sure? Maybe time will tell :)
