Anniversary Celebration at Table Manners

How many of you couples out there face difficulties when having to choose a restaurant for important dates such as anniversary dinner? Well, we do. And it's usually because we want to have good food with a reasonable price tag. 

And no, me and loverboy are not suited for fine dining. We tried it once and it was so uncomfortable! We can't speak too loudly or laugh out loud. It was suppressing.

So for this year's anniversary dinner, I kept a lookout for nice restaurants early ahead and once during my work at Changi City Point, I chanced upon Table Manners. What caught my attention was their alfresco dining environment because it was surrounded by lush greenery.

I made reservations because I didn't want to wait and the thought of loverboy's incessant nagging if he gets hungry while queueing was not very appealing. When we were there, there was not much of a crowd and it was very relaxing to be able to dine in the midst of the trees and even catch some live singing from the live band performing in the pub next door. 

I find the ambience perfect. 

Music was soothing to the ears, wind was blowing in our faces and the crowd wasn't catastrophic.

And, most of all, food was so so good.

Always up for some goofy-ness

Spicy Wings - S$8.50 for 5 wings

This lived up to its name of being really spicy but had a tangy taste to it so we won't get sick of the taste. Will order again! 

 King's Burger - S$20

Loverboy had this and according to him, the beef patty was really well marinated and cooked. 

I don't take beef but I love the truffle fries! The truffle was so strong.

 Norwegian Baked Salmon - S$22

This was so so so good. 

I love everything about this dish;

The salmon which was cooked to perfection on the outside but soft inside, 

the mashed potato which didn't had a very strong milk taste,

the sautéed mushrooms which had a fragrant taste,

and the sauce which accompanied it.

Changi City Point

 The Oasis #01-68/69

Singapore 486038

Tel: (65) 6604 7669

Sun- Wed: 1130am til 11pm ; Thurs- Sat: 1130am til 12 midnight

Overall, this is a place I would recommend if you want to chill over relaxing ambience and really tasty food but without being too harsh on your wallet. It is suited for gatherings with friends or even just a romantic night out with your bf/gf. And I love their goofy-ness, whether in their menu or the decoration of its utensils or its interior.

The only thing is Changi is a bit far off from town which can make it inconvenient if you are staying at the other end of the island. But, not to worry, they have opened a new branch at North Canal Road which is much more accessible. Having said that, I will still choose to dine at Changi's branch because of the lesser crowd!

We wanted to have some desserts before going off but nothing really caught our fancy at Table Manners' dessert menu so we decided to head to Paris Baguette at Changi Airport to just sit and do more chilling.

You know how Paris Baguette are forever crowded?

Well, now you know where to find one with lesser crowd (look at the empty seats!)
