Twice at Morton’s: Valentine’s 2010.

12 Feb 2010

PhotobucketReady to go! :)

2010′s Valentine’s day falls on the Chinese New Year. Hence we did an early celebration and we are back at Morton’s; the place which serves the best but nevertheless exorbitant steaks!

But it was also Morton’s that converted me – to eat beef. My parents dont allow us to consume beef since young but i converted into a beef eater since last year.

And before i truly begin on Morton’s post. Appreciation to the man who bought me a gift with his same old trick of searching the present in the car. ;D He was trying to complete my diamond set since he gave me a necklace the last time and this time an earring. Thank you Thank you! Haha, he must been so cute when he’s looking for the ‘right’ one.

Similar to last year, we had to wait by the bar area first before the waitress clear the table for us. Led into a small room with only 4 tables, we had much more privacy this time round.

The onion loaf seems to be much nicer than I remembered. Warm, crusty and nicely infused with the fragrances of onion.

PhotobucketYes, the best.

This time round, we didnt order the very forgettable scallops wrapped with bacon. We always forget that we ate this before. Instead we had onion soup with crusted cheese. This was awesome. My first time with an onion soup was an enjoyable one. The crusted cheese gave much joy in eating/drinking it. Yummy! Morton’s has done a good job again!

PhotobucketPhotos! – everyone can see that i love to take photos; hence the waiter asked!

It’s definitely the first time that i’m having such an huge piece of beef to myself. I almost felt like a carnivore which indulges in huge, bloody bodies.

Not being a frequent beef eater, i dont even know what level should I cook my steak to. More of, which do i prefer. At last, i had to get it re-cooked to medium, i think. (See, i forgot again!)

But it was too huge for me. Can’t finish it at all. I believed I’ve wasted 30 bucks since i have about 1/3 left.

Still the best we had!

The hot chocolate cake is still the best we had thus far! Even though the previous time was even better. This time round the chocolate inside wasnt melty enough!

Hehehs. I decided not to post the cool pic of vampy but a naughty vampy! He was trying to do my HMPHS, pose that i always do in Japan.

The post came across a lil too late, due to too much backlog of entries! But it’s still a really sweet v-Day. Thank you for the pampering, BIGBABYVAMPY. LOL!

VALENTINE’s DAY AT MORTON’s – 14 Feb o8

This place..this place was really crowded with couples mainly of caucasians even at 930pm. A place serving the best steaks, i supposed so. American -based setting with friendly and funny service staff.. Yuppz, the Morton’s at the Mandarin Oriental. My first time there despite a few recalls of the lobby some time ago. hahas.

I’m always damn stunned when I look at the menus of these places. That puts me in a position of dunnoe-what-to-order.

and perharps it is right..”the best STEAK anywhere!”..to be revealed when the food is served!
Oh, and I really think that the way they introduced the menu was special. Pushing a trolley to our tables and introducing what they serves with REAL pieces of beef, salmon, veg, etc before they present us the written menu. So they have verbal and visual kind of menu!

 

A lovely pic taken by a funny waiter who insisted that he wants to take the photo in certain ways, which is different from the normal waiter that obeys the guests accordingly.
me.

The huge bread was served to us. hahas…it has a yummy, lightly-fragrant layer of crust ;]
The appeitiser was Broiled Sea Scallops wrapped in Bacon w Apricot Sauce. Mixing the huge scallop with the fresh bacon and Apricot Sauce brings different layers of taste to the dish! Unpeel its taste layer by layers. ;]
The best dish came of coz, after the appeitiser! Despite being a non-beef eater, I have to have to say that that Porterhouse Steak is damn nice, especially so for the perfectly grilled parts. And that indicates…yes…i ate some of it. =x
And the Broiled Salmon in..hmm some sauce was not too bad too! Think the sauce went quite well w the salmon and it was finely grilled too!
But both the main courses were of a bit of a too large serving.
Squeezing the lemon! ;]

ANother super nice dessert!

Unlike our usual TCC’s dark devotion which was already so nice, this is much much much better, way way above. The way the chocolate oozes out generously and the crispiness of the choc cake werent the usual kind…wow! Oh, and its served w haagen daz’s vanilla ice-cream. (the king of diar.lolx)

I do think that the waiters are damn funny…”Posing more poses than the ones taking the pic”
vampire
hmm?
Still think that v-day and anniversary falls abit on a wrong day this month when this guy is so busy and prob kinda stressed over work. Thanks for squeezing out the time for me yupps! But seriously, hahas, club wasnt and isnt above ____.
But yea, over the years, i sorta come to understand that V-day is not about gifts and DEFINITELY not flowers. hahas..think flowers is abit too old-fashioned…its like going for matchmaking. I cant helped laughing when i saw ppl carrying that esp the handheld kinds.
It’s about being in love, being loved, enjoying the company of each other and knowing that someone is there for you whether you meet or not.
