Paul really went above and beyond by making my birthday special yesterday. He knows how much the peace and beauty of the S’pore Botanical Gardens calm me. So, he made reservations at the Halia restaurant nestled within the Ginger Garden. What a fantastic atmosphere with the fragrance of the Gardens surrounding us.
We shared a bottle of G.H. Mumm Champagne with a strawberry at the bottom of the glasses. The food was exquisite: Chilean Sea Bass, Mango, Ginger Sorbet, Glass Noodles, I could go on and on…
We, of course, had a few trials getting to the restaurant, and back. But, that’s just another day in S’pore – you have to take it in stride, or you’ll go crazy!
Paul finished it off with a hilarious singing card and two books: Scent of the Monsoon Winds (a cookbook – can’t wait to try out the Lovers’ Oxtail Stew!) and the NEW Jodi Picoult book, House Rules. I’m so excited; I have to finish my Chris Bohjalian book!
Paul, I love you – you are truly the love of my life!
Thank you to all of my family, Facebook friends for the birthday wishes. And, thanks go out to my High School Peeps that got me a cake on the cruise! This birthday has been fantastic and has made me forget the mounting numbers…though, to Paul, I am forever 24 – bless him!!
