ove is in the air! And among our very own bud-ding-engineers too. As Val-entine’s Day draws near and couples look for an ideal place to spend this special day with their special one, the FUSE checks out the Blisshouse Theme Restau-rant together with our Faces
of Engin couples. Situated in the accessible central area, Blisshouse is a refreshing getaway from the surround-ing concrete jungle. The surreal, fairy tale-like am-bience provides some sort of escape from the worries of life, bringing you into an-other world, if only for a little
while. Our Faces of Engin couples had a delightful day exploring the place while the editorial team felt like a whole bunch of ‘lightbulbs’ among them. Even then, it was enjoyable watching the couples engage in playful banter as they shared with us their personal stories.

To Have & To Hold
21
Where and how did the both of you meet?Yonghui: During ChESS camp. She was a freshie and I was an OGL.Jiaqi: We didn’t know each other well then, and he was attached. We
go closer only during an OCIP trip.
How long have you been together?Yonghui: Four months.
Who “jio-ed” (courted) the other in the relationship?Yonghui: Of course it’s me! Guy “jio” mah!
How did it happen?Yonghui: Before the OCIP, she sent a mass text asking about newspaper collection. I was the only guy who replied. We started texting each other after the trip, and went out together soon after. The confession was at Gardens by the Bay. It was quite fail because when I confessed halfway, some music started playing. I continued after the music ended though. *laughs*
Was it your ideal type of confession? On a scale of 1 to 10, how romantic do you think it was?Jiaqi: 7. It was romantic but a bit fail *laughs*. But somehow this
made it memorable.
What do you like about him/her?Jiaqi: I like his eyes and smile. Per-sonality-wise, he’s a very nice guy. He’s really very responsible. Like when I organized the newspaper collection, everybody was very lazy but he went the extra mile. I don’t know if he was trying to impress me.
So were you trying to im-press her?Jiaqi: No no. That’s just me. Yonghui: Appearance-wise, definitely her eyes. Character-wise, she fulfills the three ‘C’s I like about a girl – Communication, Commit-
ment and Compromise. And she’s very understanding. I can tell her everything under the sun.
When/Where was your first kiss?Yonghui: On the confession day
What do you think of each other’s dress sense?Jiaqi: When I first met him, I thought his dress sense was quite bad. He doesn’t know how to match colours. Once, he wore orange with green pants. But I think it’s because he’s thrifty and doesn’t like to spend much on clothes. Yonghui: Her dress sense is very good, very good compared to me.
Have you ever seen anyone checking out your partner?Yonghui: There was once we went to a bar. This guy came to play darts with us, and tried getting close to her, even exchanging numbers.Jiaqi: He then started texting me, asking some offending questions.
Did you confront him?Yonghui: No. She stopped me.Jiaqi: One of my juniors liked him during the OCIP period, and she kept asking me whether I liked him too, because a lot of people could sense there was something on between us. Then I felt that he must really be a good guy, that’s why other girls like him too.
Any advice for singles?Jiaqi: Open up the door. Don’t look through the peephole.Yonghui: Try to mix around more and don’t keep everything to your-self.
On a scale of 1-10, how naughty do you think your partner is? 1 being not naughty, 10 being very.Jiaqi: 7. On the day he confessed to me, before he confessed, when we went to watch a movie, he
already held my hand. Then, Gar-dens by the Bay, before confessing, we took a photo together and he kissed my forehead.Yonghui: 6. Maybe because I led her astray.
Do your parents know and approve of this relationship/your partner?Jiaqi: My parents like him a lot. I think that’s because he’s an “aunt-ie-killer”. We know each other’s family quite well and eat together with them.Yonghui: My mum likes her quite a lot. She will think for my family. She will insist on buying food to add on to the dishes we have. She’s very thoughtful.
Besides each other, which Engin girl/guy do you think is cute?Jiaqi: Dallan Seah and Jason LowYonghui: Felicia Tham and Mau-reen Yeoh
What is your ideal Valentine’s Day date?Jiaqi: Someplace with a very nice ambience. I don’t really wish for anything, just being able to be with him is already very niceYonghui: A romantic place, like Bliss House.
“Open up the door. Don’t
look through the peephole.”

a blissful affairPriding itself as a Garden of Eden in the midst of our bustling city, Bliss House does not disappoint. This themed restaurant is dressed elegantly with romantic white furnishing atop a natural wood flooring leading out into a pseudo outdoor garden dining area. Lush carpet grass complete with rose adorned wall trellises and garden arches set the mood for a cosy and personal romantic dining experience.

The Soup: Wild Mushroom with Truffle Oil Drop-lets, is the real deal. For those who appreciate a hearty cream packed with genuine mushroom fla-vour, rest assured; the version at Bliss House tastes nothing like that out of a can. Non-mushroom lov-ers might find the soup a little on the strong side.
The Appetizer: Valentines Lovers Salad, is a sweet re-freshing starter. Honey vinaigrette married a good combina-tion of fresh fruits and vegetables, tossed lightly to perfection. A touch of mango leaves one with a lingering sweetness.
The Dessert: Raspberry Sensation. One first feasts with the eyes. This dessert is a pretty dome of Raspberry goodness and soy cream. With a surprise element of jelly inside, this dessert leaves one craving for more. The perfect blissful ending for a Valentine’s meal.

made with love
This Valentine’s, Bliss house offers a four-course menu of soup, appetizer, a choice from three mains, and dessert.
Food reviewF eatures
The 2nd Main: Exquisite “X.O” tomato sauce fused with Jumbo lump crab and linguine (Entrée size). Highly recommended and guaranteed to make you regret not having more, the sauce is extremely unique and with its tinge of spiciness, it is a perfect blend of flavours.
The 1st Main: A choice of Pan-seared Rib-eye Steak or Bake Crayfish Thermidor. The 200g rib-eye steak sous vide to rare was tender and juicy. A classic combi-nation of beef with a savoury sauce and roasted potatoes was deeply satisfying.
The 1st Main: Flavourful South African Crayfish smeared with Thermidor sauce. The sauce made up of cheese with bacon strips, mushrooms and bechamel sauce is perfect in bringing out the freshness of the tender flesh that melts in the mouth.
Valentine Day Mocktail: This bar top drink of cranberry and straw-berry purée topped with a tinge of sprite is the perfect drink to go with any of the main courses above and defintely one not to be missed.
"Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate." -Alan D. Wolfelt

Star BitesBliss House’s regular menu is as impressive. We recommend four signature dishes that will get your taste buds craving for more.
Orange Duck Confi t ($28): If the sight of duck meat shredding and falling off the bone at the tease of the fork excites you, this dish is not to be missed. The skin of the duck is nice and crisp with the fl esh still moist and tender. The combination of zesty orange sauce keeps the dish from being too rich.
Seafood Marinara ($25): This dish is generous with fresh seafood; the prawns springy with shellfi sh juicy and fresh. The pasta is al-dente with a broth rich with seafood goodness.
Tomato Pesto oven Baked Cod Fish ($38): The fi sh is tender with nice crispy skin. The white sauce is light and adds to the dish without taking away the fl avour of the fi sh. The dish is suitable for those going for a light and hearty meal.
Signature Tiramisu ($11): Each meal is more complete with a sweet ending. Bliss house offers their signature tiramisu. The tiramisu offers no resistance to your fork and will defi nitely fall in love with it on your very fi rst bite. The mix-ture of Kahlua liquor and the dark chocolate coco powder makes this the perfect light fi shing touch to your meal.

Out of budget? You can also opt for a cheap All-Day Flight by flashing your student passes ($15 per ticket). Have a panoramic view of Singapore's iconic landmarks 165m above the ground, and spend half an hour reminiscing the places you have been together.*Offer is valid from Monday to Sunday, except public holidays and block-out dates.
2 Raffles marinaImagine watching seagulls soar through the sky on a warm, lazy afternoon, while listening to the faint sound of waves lapping on the shore. Have a relaxing day at Raffles Marina as you delight in the serene sight of luxurious yachts docked in the harbour. Walk hand in hand with your dear one along the harbour until sunset. Next, end it off with a nice Valentine’s Day meal at the Marina Bistro.
