Take it outdoors this Valentine’s Day
Whether you choose to languish under a canopy of stars or enjoy a balmy afternoon kissed by a cool breeze, an outdoor picnic sets the pace for romance this Valentine’s Day. Singapore may not have an abundance of grassy plains or the ideal temperate climate for frolicking about in but with a whole lot of creativity and heart, it’s a cinch to put together a fabulous picnic hamper for your valentine this year. A basket full of delicious goodies to savour together—what better way is there to express your love? Mark our words; the way to his or her heart is truly through the stomach.
Here is our guide for a fuss-free yet suitably indulgent feast.

| 3. Jacquesson Cuvee N 733 from Beam Global Asia (S$99)
Nothing like popping a bottle of bubbly to celebrate both a picnic and the occasion in style. And mind you, not just any bubbly but three-star Le Classement champagne Jacquesson, brought to Singapore by Beam Global Asia just three months ago. One of our favourites is the Jacquesson Cuvee N 733, a fruity champagne which packs a delicious punch. With very fresh, elegant and full flavours, its palate-pleasing notes are intense on the nose and in the mouth, making it a must-have for this occasion. |

| 4. Chocolate Truffles from Truffs (S$24 for a box of 9)
Its purported aphrodisiacal qualities notwithstanding, the lusciousness of these handmade truffles are reason enough to grab a box or two for this picnic. Bespoke, fresh and simply top-notch, we daresay that Truffs rolls out some of the best gourmet chocolates you can find in town. We particularly fancy the 66% Antilles dark chocolate truffles—a brilliant medley of almond and coffee flavours hidden within the pure, rich chocolaty goodness. End off your picnic on this extremely worthy, ambrosial note. |
From February to June 2010, White Card members will enjoy an exclusive 10% off at Truffs.
