The most romantic day of the year is fast approaching, which means it’s time to get in the mood for love and a meal as date night is on! Whether you want to celebrate your relationship with your significant other, your best mate, or your group of friends (Galentine’s Day is a thing, you know), it’s a great excuse to feel a bit warm and fuzzy and to show someone you care. Here’s where to head for Valentine’s Day Meals & Deals in Singapore this year.
Shabestan
Food is the language of love and Shabestan has it in spades! First off, the lovely twinkly location by the water on Robertson Quay is already set up for romance under the stars. Secondly, their special Valentine’s menu of Persian fare certainly pulls out all the stops. Specially curated for filling hearts and bellies, the 5-courses begin with an amuse bouche accompanied by a refreshing pomegranate salad and fresh beetroot hummus, followed by Egyptian-style charcoal grilled meatballs. The wow-factor, however, is down to the Persian Platter, a veritable smorgasboard of lamb kubideh, chicken masti, prawn and fish kebabs served with Javaher rice. All dishes come in generous portion sizes, and are easy to share making dining an intimate and fun affair. The Rose Cheesecake is reminiscent of light Turkish Delight and as sweet as the person you’re sharing the meal with.
