Are you one of those one of anti-Valentine’s Day zealots, thinking that it was commercialized and hated the endless jams, booming prices of flowers and the stress of locating a nice fancy restaurant.
In fact, I heart Valentine’s Day. It’s a day where you shows your loved one how much you appreciate them, not with fancy luxurious gift, but with a small hand made card or notes. I know V day hatreds will say that you don’t need a special day to show someone you love them; you should celebrate your love everyday!
There is so much love in this world and in everyone’s life, and there’s nothing wrong with celebrating it.It’s great to see merry couples flaunting their mutual bliss everywhere. This year, we were caught in the jam and dine in an overcrowded restaurant but it was still a great Valentine’s Day because we have each other.
From next year onwards, I would banned Kgboy from getting me flowers and gifts and we’ll have Mcd Delivery or Tai Chao over the neighbourhood, leaning on the couch and watch DVD. Sounds great huh?
Tired of my ramblings? Let’s get back to the food! Our initial plan was Delicious cafe but they are closing by the time we reached One Utama. There goes my Lamb Masala, Shepherd’s Pie, Duck Confit and Heart Shaped Latte! So, we ended up at SOHO that needs no furthur introduction as quite a number of floggers has wrote about it before.
They are serving some new items for Chinese New Year.
Jasmine tea for my flu virus stricken Kampungboy.
Signature Beef Stew Fried Rice ??????? (RM 16). The fried rice is aromatic and the stew beef is tender. I’m glad that the serving staff never stopped us from taking pictures just like what they did to eatinout. Just some staring here and there but who cares?
Crispy Duck La Mien (RM 14). This sucks big time, the broth is tasteless and the duck is not crispy at all!
Shanghai Steamed Meat Dumpling ??????? (RM 7). The skin is too thick but the meat filling is juicy and sweet.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Wow, will definately show the picture of the beef stew to my hubby. He is a great fan of stew beef. The Duck La Mien sounds impressive but sad it’s not as good as it sounds.

Lotsa food bloggers are raving bout SOHO now.I heard dat the ‘golden sand’ custard bun is one of SOHO’s signature dishes. For Shanghai dumplings, I think Crystal Jade serves the best:)
