Valentine's Day Gift

Gosh! Time flies! A year has passed since the last Valentine's Celebration at Rialto.To always make dining fun at Rialto, this year, we are doing something different. Leave it to the owner chef to do what he wants. But some customers remember the poem I wrote last year, and they have asked me to give them a copy again. So here it is, and a little of the background of how the poem came about.

Miss Kelly Koh of Singapore Press Holdings asked what we have as special gift for the ladies. In response, I have written a poem for her to decipher. Hence to make it more interesting, I am also asking all couples to guess the mystery gift for ladies. Every couple is given 3 chances each. Give your answers to the cashier when you make your deposit of $50/- to book your table. The couple with the correct answer will receive another special prize.

VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT

Rialto, forever "bay toh",
Unless the Lord says so,
For lovers who come to Rialto,
The ladies get a gift also.

"What's the gift?" asked curious Kelly,
Good food, wine, Singapore Sling with cherry,
Looking into each other's eyes, return late,
A gift from Rialto, for sweet memory sake!

Choo doesn't like to follow the crowd,
A red rose is mundane and definitely out,
Nothing that withers, for love is strong,
A gift that must last at least a year long.

To find out the mystery gift,
Kelly's partner must give her a lift,
To Rialto, to book a table for two,
May their love be forever true!

The Management and staff of Rialto, wishes all our romantic
customers a Happy Valentine's Day!
