Why? Because not only have we compiled some great date ideas, they’re also very pocket-friendly.
How pocket-friendly are we talking about here? Well how about buy one free one?

If your date nights usually consist of movie marathons featuring sappy love stories, maybe it’s a sign that you really need to spice things up. Instead of going to the cinema, why don’t you go out somewhere and do an activity together? How about trying your hands (or legs, in this case) at ice skating? Visit Pyramid Ice at Sunway Pyramid to help realise your dreams of dancing like Elsa to Let It Go while skating gracefully like an Olympic medalist.Cost saved: RM20

After skating into each other’s hearts – ahem! – we bet you’ll be all famished and exhausted. If you’ve built up quite an appetite, then it’s best if you head to Pampas Reserve Grill & Bar at Bukit Ceylon. They offer “a romantic setting amid lush greenery in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.” Google their restaurant and you’ll find great reviews about their dishes. Just looking at their menu is making our mouths water.A photo posted by SHien WEi (@shienw3i) on
