Valentine’s Day probably stressed bae out the last couple of years, so it’s only right that you take over V-day planning this year. And it’s easier than you think when it comes to finding a place that settles dinner, dessert, and that heart-melting gift.
Heading to Orchard Central will grant you a one-stop solution, plus you and bae will get to snap loads of couple shots amidst gorgeous decorations. Here are some delicious food, awesome shopping and pampering treatments the both of you can get at OC.

With a chic minimalist interior and crowd-pleasing mille crepes, Lady M Confections makes an easy choice for desserts. Signature Mille Crepes ($9++ per slice) is a classic but if you’re up for something more flavourful, Marron Mille Crepes ($9.50++), which is made with roasted chestnuts, or a slice of Red Velvet Cake ($9++) can hit all the right notes.
To really impress, get Framboise au Chocolat ($9.50++) that features velvety dark chocolate mousse layered on moist chocolate sponge and finished off with a raspberry glaze. It comes with a limited edition gift box that’ll make bae feel extra special. This cake is available from now till 14 February – perfect for V-day!

Eighteen Chefs has been the go-to of every 20-something-year-old once thanks to their customisable Cheese Baked Rice (from $5.80+). At Eighteen Chefs Signature at Orchard Central, you’ll be able to get a taste of their Signature Menu showcasing dishes such as Drummettes & Wings Platter ($8.50+ for six pieces, $23.80+ for 18) that comes in three flavours – Garlic, Honey-Glazed and Chilli Crab.
True-blue Singaporeans never stray far from spicy food, especially when it features chilli crab. Chilli Soft Shell Crab Pasta ($16.80+) will give you the best of both worlds, and you can end the night with a Strawberry Cheesecake Red Velvet Waffle ($13.80+) that has scoops of strawberry cheesecake and vanilla ice-cream topped with grated cheddar cheese.
