they have been some rave reviews about a place called 'my secret garden'. the menu doesn't look so interesting, but u can make up for it over dessert plus the ambience seems nice.

Halia is pricy, you'll be lucky to get out of there for under S$100 a head.

The French Stall in Serangoon Rd is often recommended if you want French (read: supposedly romantic) food on the cheap, but I thought the food was pretty crappy. Creperie Armen on Duxton St, on the other hand, does some pretty mean crepes (sweet) and galettes (savoury), all ~S$10-20, is quite atmospheric in a ye olde Brittany kinda way and should tickle the tastebuds of any girl who likes sweet things.

One more recommendation!

Beaujolais Wine Bar, 1 Ann Siang Hill, ☎ +65-6224-2227. Cozy, romantic yet unpretentious shophouse with friendly staff, a huge wine list and generously sized eats ranging from cheese platters ($10-16) to chili con carne ($14). Wine by the glass from $10.

The food here is quite non-gourmet but the atmosphere makes up for it. The lower end of the wine is quite affordable and tasty.
