One of Those Fridates

My wife and I have a ritual of always going on Fridates - we would date again on every Fridays.  After work Friday is the time when we spend time together dating like we were in our twenties again.  Its' the time to just get together and feel that the world belong to just the two of us.

This week we decided to have a special Fridate as a break from our usual visit to Vivocity.  My wife suddenly craved for burgers so we went to the best burger joint in Singapore - Three Buns by Potato Head Folk in Keong Saik road.  This would be our 4th visit here in a year.  We absolutely love the burgers here.

As fate would have it, this time we sat at the rooftop bar of Three Buns for a change of scenery.  It was a very nice experience indeed.  We came too early for sunset, so we didn't have the chance to view the blue hour.  Gotta remember to do it next visit!

And these!  These are the best burgers in Singapore!  That fries - Naughty Fries - crisp fried potato chips with bearnaise sauce and chilli is absolutely amazing!

After dinner we took a stroll along Keong Saik road to soak up the hip atmosphere.  The road is littered with hip eateries such as Burnt Ends, Taratata Bistro & Indline to name a few.  There are old school eateries as well such as Tong Ah Eating House, Yanti Nasi Padang and Kok Sen restaurant.  The place has so much to offer.

After a short walk we dropped by a cute cafe called Banana Tree.  It's a very trendy, instagrammable worthy establishment that will offer a quick respite to the hot and humid atmosphere outside.  As we had quite a big meal, we only settled for a chocolate & candy floss latte and a mojito.

The mojito was a bit too sweet to my liking, I'll remember to ask for less sugar next time I go there.  We spent some time in the cafe to just talk and wind down after a long day.  It was really quite enjoyable.

Alas, good things indeed cannot last forever.  We took a short walk to Chinatown and finally headed home.  We're just not that young anymore after all.

Here's a closing shot for this entry.
