They say “The way to a man's heart is through his stomach”, true, but the way to a woman’s heart is also through her stomach! If you and your soulmate are big-time foodies, you should definitely take a cooking class together and take back home some of your favourite Singaporean culinary tricks. Think about it, it would be so much fun – you learning to cook his favourite dishes, while he learns yours!!

You can sign up for a class with Cookery Magic, Food Playground, Grandmothers' Recipes, Little Green Kitchen or Coriander Leaf, and learn how to cook scrumptious satay, chili crab, pandan chiffon cake and much more! Is your mouth watering already?

3. Go on a shopping spree at Orchard Road
