Happy Valentine's Day, BB — Flutes at the National Museum!

Happy Valentine’s Day, BB! 💝 We swapped the usual lunch for something special this year — booked the Valentine’s tasting menu at Flutes at the National Museum of Singapore. Old colonial bungalow vibes, full white tablecloth treatment, the works. 😍

The spread that unfolded:

• Two glasses of red wine to kick things off — paired beautifully with the meal.
• A starter with cute hearts of salmon roe arranged on a buttery base with a cream-yellow sauce and edible flowers.
• A seared scallop / risotto-style course sitting in a pool of green pea foam, finished with edible viola flowers and microgreens.
• A steamed white fish on sliced cucumber with herbs and shaved daikon — clean, delicate, well-balanced.
• A warm ciabatta-style roll brought between courses.
• The main: grilled wagyu beef sliced and plated with black truffle shavings, glazed mushrooms, and rounded out with edible flowers. Tender, smoky, the truffle perfume hit the table before the plate did.
• Dessert — a chocolate-script “Happy Valentine’s Day!” plate with a centrepiece of pink mousse, fresh berries, flowers, and edible gold flecks. The kind that makes you take photos before eating.

The whole meal came in around $200ish for the two of us with wine — pricey, but for Valentine’s Day, worth it.

Overall: 4.3 / 5. Service was on-point, the courses well-paced, and every plate looked like a painting. Lovely way to spend the day with the BB. 🥂😍
