“What are you doing for Valentine’s Day?” is often the dreaded question during the days leading up to the 14th of February. Will you go for the always pricey, often stiff set menu at a restaurant (aka, a lot a caviar, Wagyu and truffle) or will you spring for a massive bouquet worth close to a month’s worth of rent just so the girlfriend can parade it around the office? Hmm… with such tempting options, what should one do?
Don’t fret. Foodie is here to the rescue… well, sorta. At least we’re here to give you a few fun hacks that will make Valentine’s Day a little less strenuous – on the nerves as well as the wallet.
