We came to Orchard Road at the end of every year to see and feel the Christmas and New Year decorations and vibes. Last year November 2017, we managed to visit Orchard Road and Christmas village and had great time over there, you may refer our 2017 memories here. This year, it is Disney theme and attracts thousands of locals and tourists visit Orchard Road just to indulge in the cute Christmas vibes. I am pretty sure that most of us have already checked out a lot of Facebook post mentioning about Orchard Road Singapore as one of the place to celebrate for Christmas as well! Don't say I not warn you thou, the crowds in Orchard Road are insane. Basically, you need to queue for all photo spots. Well, it is Christmas public holiday, can't blame it. Beat the crowd by visiting here in November, I guess it will be way better then.

We had our romantic Christmas dinner in Alley Bar, just few minutes outside of Somerset mrt station. After that, we leisurely strolled along Orchard Road and brace ourselves in the swarm of crowds to have some photo taking as memories. We had visited Christmas village outside of Ngee Ann City building as well and just like last year, the first thing that we did was to visit Santa's house! Too bad this year they not give out free Instax photo for us to bring home. Nonetheless we still had wefie with Santa using our phone. As it is Disney theme this year, there are many photo taking opportunities along the road, Mickey and Minnie definitely top the list! And I will not be ashamed to queue with family and kids just to take photo with them 😂, yeah I am 8 years old small girl 😅! Don't laugh at me please, trust me everyone was waiting their turn patiently just to take photos with Mickey and Minnie! 


There were a lot of street performances on that night and we can easily spent like 30 minutes sitting over there and kept entertained all the time. Side talk here, I had the best matcha ice cream in Tsujiri just nearby Alley Bar after dinner. Was hunger for matcha ice cream and when research online was so happy to found out the famous Tsujiri outlet is just few minutes walk away. Honestly, the matcha ice cream here was really the best that I have tried in Singapore, it was certainly on par with the good review from Internet. However, if you were to ask me which was the best one I have tried, I will not hesitate to tell you, it was in Hokkaido Japan! Yeah, still origin country has the best and most authentic flavour! Visit the Hokkaido ice cream blog here

Overall, it was a fun date on our Christmas day. For me, I think last year Christmas decoration with polar express train was prettier and more magnificent to view. And they gave away free Instax photo with Santa Claus. However, this year was cuter. Your choice? Why not both right? Or every year so you can compare!

Senso Ristorante & Bar, Singapore





FAQ on Senso Ristorante & Bar:

1. What attracts you to come to this restaurant?
👉 Birthday celebration for me! We pampered ourselves with Italian fine dining in this restaurant. Have google some time to search for a good (i.e. quiet and beautiful ambiance) restaurant for us to enjoy dinner to our heart content, and stumbled upon this by chance!

2. What you expect to dine in this restaurant?
👉 Italian fine dining foods. Extensive menu serving ala carte foods, seasonal special foods (limited time only), desserts, wine and etcetera.

3. Any set meal available in this restaurant?
👉 Only during lunch hour. Refer the link at the bottom of the page for more of the restaurant's menu details.

4. Any promotion available in internet for this restaurant?
👉 No, unless you have this apps in your phone called The Entertainer. It has buy 1 free 1 deal which is certainly a steal! What are you waiting for, head to play store and download the apps... after read finish this blog 1st.. 😁

5. What is the recommended time to dine in this restaurant?
👉 Certainly is night time for us! I just like to indulge myself in romantic environment, those girly dream, to dine in a private and beautiful white washed place, elegant building, beautiful table settings, candlelit with dim atmosphere.. Yeah, I know right.. Since is a special occasion, so splurge once in a while is ok right? (consoling ourselves for spending the money 😂)


So there comes the birthday celebration for me once per year! Was still struggling with a restaurant to go for a romantic dinner. It is not easy to find a romantic yet affordable fine dining restaurant in Singapore. Have seen a lot restaurants in Singapore are not so spacious and private enough to have a quiet dinner that we can truly enjoy. Everywhere is so crowded with diners and it is often impossible to get a restaurant which is spacious and private enough for all night long chatting with your partner. Sometime we just want to have a good and enjoyable dinner right? Luckily I stumbled upon this Italian fine dining restaurant by chance and it certainly lives up to my expectation! There are two main dining areas, i.e. indoor and outdoor yard. For me, I opt for outdoor yard as I would like to have those romantic and dim atmosphere dining experience. Indoor tables are slightly packed with customers than outdoor yard tables, and have a brighter lighting as well, and after looked around we still decided to choose outdoor table for our special dinner treat.

The menu is extensive and it comes with seasonal special menu. Seasonal special menu on October (the time we went) was focused on truffle and all foods are well cooked and presented with truffle as the ingredients. However, the seasonal special menu comes with few courses and is truly not cheap. There is ala carte menu for diners as well, and you can end your night with desserts and wine also! It is going to be a few hours tasting session, so sit down and enjoy! 

Grand booklet menu


After done the order, we were given complimentary breads before the main course. The Italian style breads are so special, they are long sticks breads which you can dip into the olive oil and some seasonings. The breads served are truly special and delicious enough to make you looking forward to your main course! 


Appetizer


For main course, we opted for ala carte menu, seabass fillet (called Filetto Di Branzino) for HER and braised beef cheek (called Guancia Di Bue Brasata) for HIM. Even the names sound so elegant and it takes me quite some time to type it here.. Layman term is fish and beef main course for us 😂 . Guess what, the foods served although seem to be smaller portion in servings (typical style of fine dining, though I feel Senso provides slightly more portion than usual fine dining restaurant), but it is certainly tummy filling and undeniably, the foods standard are very high, it exceeds our expectations! Not only they are beautifully decorated and well presented to you on plate, the foods itself tasted amazing and savory! The fish and meat are cooked in perfection and tasted juicy in our mouths! It is our 1st time indulging in Italian fine dining and it is very beautiful dinner experience indeed! 


For HIM (Guancia Di Bue Brasata -  braised beef cheek,
bacon, button mushrooms, glazed carrots, Senso puree)

For HER (Filetto Di Branzino - seabass fillet,
artichoke mousse, green asparagus, virgin sauce)

Italian fine dining experience

The customer service in Senso restaurant also is of top notch! Waiter/ waitress will gladly help us to take photos and make sure our foods are good by checking in with us for foods comments. Not only we were being treated with delicate care that night, we couldn't be more happier and grateful enough when they gave us complimentary dessert to end our night! Even though we not choose to add on dessert at the end of the course, they still provide us the complimentary dessert and this little touch from there truly warm our hearts! Transport me back to Senso restaurant please.. it was a truly beautiful dining experience and the day became joyous with the mind of birthday celebration! At last we can have quiet and private dinner experience all to ourselves and enjoy to the max with top notch treatment provided by Senso's staffs! Can't recommended enough, you won't go wrong in this  elegant restaurant which has beautiful white washed buildings, romantic and dim lighting atmosphere, savory Italian courses dinner, amazing customer service and etcetera! 😜💓


Complimentary desserts, sweet little touch
that made the dinner experience to be perfect!

Outdoor yard tables, private and quiet for the intimate dinner experience

2. 交通
全程租车,总共用了5.5天 (23/7 11.30am to 28/7 7.30pm)。北海道有大大小小的租车行公司, 例如Toyota (价格偏高但是好多人的首选),Tocoo,Nissan,等等。小编用了World Net Rent A Car 应较为便宜,总格来说汽车状况和公司员工服务态度都不错!
⭐贴士:
👉 通常前三个月就可以开始上网预定了。早定肯定没错哦,会有早鸟优惠价!
