Ralph and I have been dating for 3 years now and he's a fantastic bf every single day. He works his arse off, and yet he still cares for my sorry arse when I'm sick as hell, he showers me with gifts on a day when it isn't "expected", he does everything for me and he loves me whole-heartedly. So, you can see why I'll not impose on him on Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day arrived. I slept late the night before and ended up sleeping almost half the day. Ralph was teaching during the day and he had a meeting in the evening. So, I wasn't expecting much and I doubted a romantic dinner was planned. I didn't expect him to wake me up with a large diamond heart shaped pendant or a giant teddy bear sitting next to me either. Flowers die, chocolate gets eaten, and I have enough lingerie, thank you! I would be happy if he comes up with 365 different things to say about me.
When I say, "I don't want anything" means I don't want him to BUY me anything.
"I don't want anything" does NOT mean I don't want him to DO anything at all.
In the evening after his meeting, he sent me a message telling me to get ready for dinner. I was looking forward to a simple, no-thinking-required evening. We drove for about 30 minutes. I asked him where we were going, he said just drive around and find something to eat. I was hungry! So, I was complaining about it. "We didn't make any reservation for dinner; everywhere will be fully-booked!" "Not to worry about it baby, we just drive around (again) and we'll see how." What kind of crap is that? It's driving me insane.
Finally, he drove to Starhill and parked the car. I turned around to him and he said, "No, we are not going to eat here baby." "So, where are we going?!" I feel like stabbing him with Cupid's arrow! He took out his cell phone and made a phone call. "Hi this is... sorry we're late... please kept the table for us... we are on the way now." I just looked at him. At that very moment, I lit up like a Christmas tree!
Well, we ended up at Moussandra Mediterranean Restaurant & Tapas Bar (the oldest Mediterranean and tapas restaurant in Kuala Lumpur) for a wonderful dinner! It is tucked away in a quiet spot of KL Plaza, a perfect hideaway from the hustle bustle of Bukit Bintang.
The romantic atmosphere, rustic and cozy ambiance alone earns the restaurant bonus points.
We spent the rest of the time there looking into each other's eyes smiling and talking about how we loved each other so much laughing and recalling the past years of togetherness that we have shared.
Moussandra serves authentic Greek, Spanish and Italian cuisine, and we proceeded to enjoy one of the best meals we had in a while.
Esparragos A La Parrilla (Grilled Asparagus with Shredded Parmesan).
My PESCADO A LAS FINAS HERBAS (Herb Crusted Dory Fish Fillet served on Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Spinach & Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce).
His SALMON A LA PLANCHA (Grilled Norwegian Salmon with Asparagus, Mashed Potatoes served with Creamy Dill Sauce).
Baby, *paused a moment* *said mushy mushy things you don't wanna hear* *paused a moment*
This really cracked me up because the restaurant manager was standing next to us taking our picture while asking Ralph to say something to me.
For dessert, we had freshly baked chocolate cake with Kahlua.... Oh la la!
Even though this wasn't the most elaborate or expensive Valentine's Day dinner, I really loved it because I knew it had taken him a long time to scour the restaurant lists to nail down the perfect outlet to indulge me to a memorable Valentine's Day meal. To me it's the thought that counts!
Next! After dinner, here comes the best part. It's a funny story (my next post - whenever that will be) which I can talk and laugh about it next year and the next and every year thereafter. Whoops!
