Fortnum & Mason
To your beloved’s stomach. Chopstix is partial to a hand decorated iced cookie and these writing themed ones well, they take the biscuit. Today is the last day to order from Fortnum & Mason for Valentine’s Day deliveries.

Rose gold – tick, diamonds – tick, LOVE.
Look no further: 45 Park Lane is the Best Boutique Hotel in Europe (according to the European Hospitality Awards 2016.)
[UDPATE: Couples staying at 45 Park Lane can dine on a three-course Valentine’s Dinner at Wolfgang Puck’s CUT restaurant in Europe (£115 per person on February 14). 45 Park Lane’s Valentine’s package includes one night accommodation for two with a complimentary upgrade subject to availability, a bottle of Lanson Champagne and English breakfast for two. From £610 in a Superior King, £955 in a Park View Studio Suite; valid February 10-19, subject to availability.]
What’s the story behind it?
Not just a glitzy address, 45 Park Lane is the newly opened younger, cooler sibling of The Dorchester hotel. Based next door to the grande dame, it’s more of a boutique affair with just 45 rooms and one restaurant (headed by a celebrity chef) packaged in a more modern design than The Dorch.
Scallops for two at Bacchanalia
Sunday is when some top restaurants take a well deserved break but with Valentine’s falling on the day of rest this year, two of Singapore’s finest are opening their doors.
Bacchanalia is offering a seven course menu at S$150 pp with a free glass of champagne while the Tippling Club has a 14 course menu at S$350 pp – S$400 with champagne and wine pairings.
Tom yum with tempura coriander at Tippling Club
With Ivan Brehm at Bacchanalia and Ryan Clift at Tippling Club being the most innovative chefs in the city, this certainly won’t be a dull date.
