It's been long since the two of us spend some romantic time together and celebrate Valentine's Day. The surprise that I got from him when I opened his van's back door to put my stuffs when he came to fetch me: A popular Japanese Rabbit soft toy that I pester him to buy for me (obvious hint to him that I want that rabbit and told him we saw the stall at Vivo City, LOL!) and a V. Day Card. I was really surprised and happy at that instant. I LOVE THE PRESENTS! Thanks dada!
I made reservations at a super romantic restaurant but to be exact, it's actually a florist. Pocket Full of Posies is the restaurant's name. I think it's main focus was initially on flowers but expanded out to a flowers-cum-restaurant concept. Thumbs Up! I LOVE THE CONCEPT!
The interior decoration was fantastic (which was the main reason why I made reservations on the day Fang introduce it to me)! Take a look at the pictures and you will know why. There's rocking chairs tied by thick ropes and you'll be surrounded by flowers. OMG! There's also live band if you're lucky enough to catch it but only at certain timings.
The food there was not bad, not awful but also not super delicious but overall, I think that it's worth the price with that kind of environment. I have to add on, despite of all those praises that I have mention about the restaurant till now, the only flaw lies with the lady boss of the restaurant.
First of all, she's under dressed. With such a strong restaurant theme, she wore polo tee and jeans. I can't seem to understand why other employees could wear the restaurant shirt but she doesn't. You might say, "because she's the boss!". In that case, shouldn't she be just sitting around to collect money? But I saw her doing all the chores in the restaurant: arranging reservations; taking orders; coordinating with the kitchen; sorting the flowers; and collecting money. I have no comments on the hard work she put in but letting customers see her in such a dress down mode all the time, it just doesn't fit the restaurant's theme.
Secondly, her attitude towards customers wasn't that friendly. She kept on reminding us that we only had an hour to dine (there's reservations after us) so we had to order fast. She's like standing beside us staring at us till we order our food. I was just hoping that she would give us 2-3 more minutes to have a better look (although we each had something we wanted to order in mind). She just kept reminding us that we only had an hour to dine (because of the special seats).
Lady boss: "You only have an hour for this reservation because there's another group of people coming at 7pm so you have to order faster." (In a not so polite speaking tone)
If she could rephrase it to
"Excuse me. Due to other reservations after yours, there's very limited timing for your dining. So would you mind to have your orders as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment? Thanks! Please inform any of our staffs or me if you are ready with your orders."
I would definitely feel very pleased with this kind of service.
Anyway, that's not going to spoil our day. We still took some photos and had our fill. I gave him my D.I.Y. card too which I spent my whole Friday night finishing it up. Thanks dada, for all the effort you put in and I will give you a bigger present on our anniversary next month.
