Okay, so I went on a date in Singapore and it was one of the most pleasurable and satisfying encounters of my life. Okay, and before you believe that this is going to be a romantic story, I have to declare that the cause of all of my enjoyment and even surprise pleasure was not due to the company but rather the quality of food I had and the great menu of the place we ate. So far as the actual date itself, well, I wouldn’t even remember that it happened saved for the great meal, well and the fact that it occurred in Singapore, oh and probably the fact that I see my date from that night nearly everyday.
I think the place was simply called Fifty Three. Isn’t that funny, it was the high light of my date and now I’m having difficulty remembering its name, though Pete’s name is firmly in my mind. So, anyway, the menu was incredible and while I had given up on the idea of a romantic evening before we even arrived, I was immediately inspired and pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and aroma inside the restaurant. It’s not that I was expecting poor quality or anything, it’s just that Fifty Three was amazingly enticing from the moment we walked in the door.
We both loved our meals and the food seemed to be made with extremely fresh ingredients. They even used edible flowers as part of the plate decoration and entrée accompaniment. Pete and I even enjoyed our conversation during dinner and I believe this was due to the great restaurant we were in. And before I sound like I’m too judgmental, I should acknowledge that Pete didn’t really want to be there with me either. It’s just that the two of us happened to be the only two from our department that were asked to go on this business trip. So, we didn’t know a single other person in Singapore and we both really wanted to explore the restaurant scene. We get along okay at work, though our personalities couldn’t be different. Thanks to Fifty Three we were able to enjoy our evening together. Of all the restaurants in Singapore that I’ve eaten at, I’d have to say this was my favorite.
