Make this Valentine’s Day a celebration to remember at The Exchange TRX

If you’re single and wondering how to celebrate love, why not call up your gal pals and make it a Galentine’s Day to remember? Build your Valentine’s Day date around the main event: a landmark lunch at Union Bistrot. This chic restaurant is the perfect set-up for long lunches that stretch well into the afternoon, fuelled by excellent food and handcrafted cocktails.

Union Bistrot’s menu is a balance of familiar local flavours and international influences. For Valentine’s Day, look to their specialties, like Beetroot Salmon Cannelloni—delicately cured salmon served alongside cannelloni, smoked salmon pate, cream cheese, and lumpfish caviar. Or try the Crispy Red Snapper served with king oyster mushroom, brussel sprouts, cauliflower puree, lemon garlic cream and crispy ginger salad. Order a Fried Chicken Wafflemak for the table, Union Bistrot’s famous nasi lemak waffle with chicken popcorn, cucumber slaw, homemade sambal and quail egg.

It’s not a girl’s lunch without cocktails, and Union Bistrot’s lineup is a good one. Order a selection for the table to share, and don’t miss Butterfly Fart, butterfly pea-infused gin with a touch of citrus, egg white, elderflower and butterfly pea flower; Between the Coco, pineapple-infused rum with pineapple juice, blue curaçao and togarashi spice; and Bistrot Boy, assam-infused tequila with calamansi, egg white and a touch of plum spice. Set against Union Bistrot’s cosy velvet banquettes and lush greenery, the colourful cocktails also make for excellent photo props.

There’s nothing like a post-lunch walk, especially if it takes you through The Exchange TRX’s floors of stylish stores and boutiques. Stop in at Maje, a cult-favourite French brand, to browse their youthful but sophisticated take on Parisian style. The brand embodies an understated yet glamorous feminine silhouette, featuring both trend-led and classic pieces with subtle details and a twist. We love their fresh, youthful dresses for Spring, from a buttercup yellow tweed-effect skater dress to a tiered cornflower blue dress embellished with lace. 

For more Parisian flair, step into Sandro where Spring pastels take on a more structured look with knits, pleats and layers. The brand is known for its clean, sophisticated style, with refined and versatile collections for both men and women.

Inside Seibu you’ll find Pinko, a contemporary Italian fashion brand known for its trendy and accessible designs. They offer a wide range of clothing and accessories with a focus on a glamorous, feminine aesthetic and a touch of playful boldness. 

Don’t miss out on exclusive gift redemptions at The Exchange TRX. Spend up RM1,500 (or RM1,200 with any UOB Credit or Debit Card) in up to two receipts to redeem an exclusive box of Godiva G Cube Chocolate Truffles and a premium soft serve.

From a delicious lunch at Union Bistrot to exploring the latest collections at Maje, Sandro, and Pinko, The Exchange TRX offers the perfect setting for a memorable Valentine's Day celebration with the special women in your life. It's the ideal destination to indulge in quality time, delicious food, and stylish finds, creating a truly special occasion.
