The Sentosa A Beaufort Hotel believes in the saying, “a couple who cooks together, stays together.” On the 13th and 14th February 2014, Executive Chef Garry Edson will be conducting a cooking class to teach couples some tricks of the trade when it comes to the kitchen. The session will also include preparing a four-course delight to impress the missus or the mister. Here’s a romance tip for you, why don’t you master the recipes in class and master it at home together? Both of you can then tweak it to suit your preference. The cooking class session is priced at $100++ per couple, excluding alcohol. For reservations, please call 6371 1403 or email dining@thesentosa.com. 2. Painting Class | Artisteaq Why We Recommend It: Painting can be a new hobby which can serve as any couple’s bonding time. Who knows? Either one may have that artistic ability you didn’t know about. Painting and tea – it seems like an odd combination but Artisteaq makes it work. Come Valentine’s Day, couples can take the chance to see what it has to offer. For starters, you can try your hands at the painting classes where you will be given a white canvass for your masterpiece. After that, you can head over to the Boutique Tea House to get some sustenance. Now, Arteastiq has the brunch menu to give more depth to its offerings. The menu has a wide selection of small bites and heartier snacks. For more filling items, you and your partner can get more offerings from their lunch and dinner menu. 3.

We’ve all heard about the health wonders yoga can do for the mind and body. So, it’s a good thing when you influence your partner to join a yoga session. Sure, it will be hard for beginners who haven’t stretched in a long time, but it actually gets better. Plus, you will be with each other to go through the experience together. Om Shiva Yoga usually has partnering classes for couples, which you can check out. If both of you are beginners, don’t to worry for the yoga studio at Bukit Timah has experienced instructors to guide you all the way.
