Raindrops Cafe: Relieving Our Memories 365 Days Later.. :)

We wanted to find the perfect place to celebrate our One Year Anniversary but we couldn’t decide exactly where. And then, it hit us. “Why don’t we go back to Raindrops Cafe?” After all, misterchewy and missuschewy had a lovely and memorable dinner there on the day we got together as a couple 🙂

Firstly, allow me to digress from the topic of food. The food review will come in the later part of this post 😛 Right after we got together on 26th July 2010, we took a photo before our movie started at Cineleisure. And one year later, here we are at the very same spot, dressed in the same clothes and doing the exact same pose 🙂

Here’s a bigger photo for comparison! What say you? 😛

Raindrops Cafe, located at *Scape, is pretty much still the same except that they have removed a couple of tables so that the place is not as cramped as before. The thing about Raindrops that attracted me right from the start is its glass walls because it gives me the feeling of being enclosed in a little capsule. Hehehe 🙂

This photo was taken back then when they were still using these cute polka dotted napkins! <3

Hahaha that was then! Omg I don’t know what to say! >_<

Who would have thought that one year later, we would be back here relieving our memories? Even though it’s been only a year, we learned many valuable lessons from each other 🙂

Haha Chewy Charles with his long floppy hair which I couldn’t tahan 😀

He will always be the silly cute boy in my eyes! 😛

Beer Battered Mushrooms ($8)

Ok enough of camwhoring. Here comes the food! These button mushrooms, coated with beer batter and deep fried to a shade of golden brown, were surprisingly juicy. I have always thought that nothing beats portobello mushrooms. A pity it was only juicy, and that was it. On the whole, this starter was just bland. We were joking that these mushrooms cost about a dollar each.

Mushroom Carbonara ($16)

After an unexciting starter, I was glad that my Mushroom Carbonara turned out alright. The penne was cooked al dente and tossed in light cream sauce that wasn’t at all watery, much to my delight. However, I couldn’t determine if it was the maplewood smoked bacon or the cream sauce that made this dish salty. The saltiness was bearable but I had to gulp down some water after I was done with my pasta.

Fish & Chips ($15)

Again, beer was used as in an ingredient for the batter for frying the pacific cream dory. The fish was crisp, light and tasted decent. However, it was not enough to fill my man’s stomach. We decided to skip desserts at Raindrops and proceeded elsewhere 😉
