There’s something magical about celebrating love by the sea. The rhythmic waves, the salty breeze, and the glow of candlelight set the perfect stage for an unforgettable Valentine’s dinner. This year, we chose a cozy seaside restaurant that promised romance, live music, and an indulgent menu—an experience worth sharing, La Playa Port Dickson.
As we arrived, the place was already full, buzzing with couples soaking in the ambiance. A talented live band played soft, soulful tunes, adding to the romantic atmosphere. The sea breeze carried the aroma of sizzling dishes, and though the service was a little slow due to the full house, the setting made the wait feel like part of the experience.
The menu was a delightful mix of flavors. The Fried Pan Dory was delicious but came in a rather small portion. The Mutton Masala Fried Rice packed a punch, bursting with spices that danced on the palate. For those craving a hearty meal, the Grilled Mushroom Chicken was a perfect choice, juicy and infused with a smoky char.
Adding a thoughtful touch, the restaurant had a Ladies’ Special, where every woman received a fresh carnation—a sweet and simple gesture. We ended the meal on a high note with tantalizing desserts, a perfect finale to the night.
Despite the slight delay in service, the overall experience was well worth it. The combination of great food, a romantic setting, and the gentle serenade of the live band made for a truly special evening. Sharing lovely chats and laughter with my sister, Joanne and her hubby Michael and my hubby made the night even more memorable.
If you’re looking for a dreamy Valentine’s dinner spot, a seaside escape like this is an excellent choice—just be sure to book early!
