Surprise your partner this Valentine's Day with these unconventional bouquets
A list of bouquets your partner will never expect to receive
By Shazrina Shamsudin -
While many of us have probably been caught up in our preparations for the Lunar New Year, it isn't too late to start planning for Valentine's Day. Besides having a fancy candlelit meal and exchanging gifts, another common gesture is to get flowers for your date.
And while there are a plethora of bouquet options in the market, you may want to consider getting your boo something a little more unique than the regular roses and baby's breath, especially if they don't fancy flowers themselves.
We have a few options that you can consider, including a very practical popcorn chicken bouquet, a bouquet made of chocolates, and an otah bouquet.
Who needs flowers when you can indulge in your favourite popcorn chicken (or nuggets), onion rings and fries with this one-of-a-kind bouquet ($15.50) by Shake Shake In a Tub? Wrapped in the brand’s signature pink and yellow colours, this cute and thoughtful bouquet is perfect for those who prefer to indulge in sinful goodness.
Besides, why buy a meal and a bouquet of flowers when you can have the best of both worlds, right?
Available for takeaway at all Shake Shake In A Tub outlets.
Local nasi lemak brand Lee Wee & Brothers is cooking up something special this Valentine's Day, and it's not just nasi lemak.

Within the set, you'll find a handwoven bag, placed together with a floral arrangement featuring the freshest blooms of the season, including a garden rose, delicate amaranthus and orchids. Of course, what's an Otah bouquet without some Otah right? To whet your appetite, the Minaudière will contain 10 premium mackerel fish coconut leave otah, sealed individually, as well as Lee Wee & Brothers' newly launched frozen products worth $43.80.
