This year, CHIJMES pulls out all the stops for Valentine’s Day with an unforgettable dinner, staycay and photoshoot.
Skip the overpriced chocolates and flowers this Valentine’s Day for something special. Singapore has quite a number of date-worthy spots but there’s nothing like spending the most romantic day of the year at CHIJMES. This beautiful historic enclave is turning up the passion just for V-day with its Springtime Love Affair. Think along the lines of dining under the stars over a divine meal, a fab staycation and a memorable photoshoot.
Dine under the stars
Start the evening at CHIJMES Lawn where dazzling air-conditioned domes will whisk you away for an intimate three-course dining experience. Take your pick from either Anglo Indian Cafe & Bar or Coriander Leaf. The former features an array of lip-smacking flavours, including butter chicken, falafel with spiced yogurt, and a mezze platter of hummus, pita bread, olives and feta cheese.
The latter pulls you in with its mod-Asian plates like Nepalese minced chicken momo dumplings or crab cakes for starters, followed by miso-marinated silver cod or angus beef shoulder for the main course. If you’re a vegetarian, there’s a dedicated plant-based menu with options like Impossible meat seekh kebab and jackfruit curry.
Everything is served with the backdrop of the landmark’s gothic architecture for the perfect old world charm, complemented by twinkling lights and starry skies to set the mood. This unique dining experience for two ($238 per couple) is available from 10-28 February and comes with a $50 Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES voucher, Cognac brownie from FLOR Patisserie, and a bottle of sparkling wine from Eccellente by HAO mart.
Enjoy a classy staycation
Sticking to the romantic theme, spend the night with your better half at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore ($320++). The 2D1N staycation includes luxuriating in a Deluxe Room (you’ll fall in love with the elegant decor) and a hearty breakfast for two at the hotel’s signature restaurant, 15 Stamford by Alvin Leung. Now, that’s how you do Valentine’s Day right.
Seal the memory with a gorgeous photoshoot
You can always count on photographs to last a lifetime. This is where Watabe Wedding Singapore comes in. Operating from CHIJMES, the bridal studio is one of Japan’s leading bridal companies – so you’re in good hands. Plus, the historic grounds will serve as your stunning photoshoot location. All you have to do is pick the photography package ($388 for a 40-minute session) of your choice and return anytime from 10-28 February for a memorable day.
With CHIJMES playing cupid, Valentine’s Day is bound to be special. Book your packages before they’re all snapped up!
