Good eating places on a date

social_misfit SG

What's a good eating place on a date?

Not too extravagant or grand since not celebrating Valentine's Day, but also not appear too stingy or cheapo like a food court.

Morton's of Chicago. Laughing

Actually, if the Morton's here is the same as in the US, then you're right, you can dine there on a budget Razz

The Morton's in the US serves up free steak sandwiches at the bar. So if you order 1 drink, you can sit there & enjoy the free steak sandwiches until you're full Laughing

You don't even need to dine in the restaurant at all!

Actually hor, actually lah hor Razz

Before my current darling, I quite enjoyed it when guys brought me to coffee shops on dates. Maybe it's just me, but it made me feel they're unpretentious, & Not just out to impress. They genuinely wanted to get to know me as a person.

We would end up enjoying the great food (we'd order zhu chao) & a beer, & chatting.

Even to this day, my darling & I love eating at these places Mr. Green

dcx SG

bo lui still wanna acts high class meh....

me n my gf 30% kopitiams, 20% restaurants, 50% at her hse for our dinner... Mr. Green

darknessfall SG

if it is your first date, make it a point to ask for her preference(out of courtesy)

Lawrys or the grill @ raffles seems nice to go( mind you about the cost)

actually, it depends on your own nature too..just go to places you normally frequent so that you will know if she is comfy with your lifestyle..

dont bring her to some super fancy places or else she will expect it to be a norm next time! haha

DUN GO BILLY BOMBERS. IT SCREWED UP MY FIRST DATE TOTALLY. IT HAS BECOME MY LAST DATE I ASSUME. GO REFER TO THE TOPIC “PLEASE HELP! SHUD I MAKE THE MOVE?”

Prince Cumming SG

hi social misfit... can tell u havin a very important date going on... saw 3-4 diff threads jus on u askin qns abt tis date Very Happy

FeowFeow SG

Nope, Not to me. I don't go for all this razzmatazz. If I wanna eat at posh restaurants, I can afford it myself. No need to so gian bng until expect others to take me there. I'd rather spend more time being ourselves, & I don't just see him on his best behaviour which is expected at a posh restaurant. Then I get to see a more natural side to the date Razz

But then, to each his own. Some people think that going to posh restaurants is romantic, & I respect that, it's true. However, romance can also be found in the simplest things. I was 25 when I realised that Wink Which was Not that many years ago, I might add Laughing

Best place is still to eat at home...

Buy stuff and cook yourself, no preservatives, freedom of choice of how the food turn out, no GST for service.

Eating at home is the best place for me. At least I don't have to contend with chilli sauce or curry for everything at foodcourt or atrocious bills for a simple dinner at a reasonable place with aircon.

Cleaning up is easy.... dish-washer does all the work!

Red Lobster. Laughing

borntolive SG

yr guy is very fortunate to have a gal like u Smile ..i often go to coffee shops, hawker centre to have my meals when not eating at home, but i seldom see couples there leh...

smudgey SG

huh???

no ac lei!!!

feow feow won't melt mei?

smudgey SG

i agree.. in fact a date do not have to include dinner, a day out in the sun, going to movies after a long conversation over coffee, can be just as if not more romantic!

seriously, as long as you have good chemistry and can click with the gal, anywhere is fine!

FeowFeow SG

I would tell you where we usually go, but then hor, privacy issues lah Razz We're always hanging out at coffee shops, places where there is good food & we don't hafta dress up to the nines all the time (although the mushy girls will know that even then, I hafta be immaculate lah Laughing ).

That's Not to say we don't go for a meal at a fancy place. We do, just that it's Not a must, & only once in awhile, when we feel like pampering ourselves silly & splurge Razz If we want a nice dinner, we usually try to prepare it together, or he'll prepare something yummy himself if he doesn't want me setting fire to his microwave Laughing
