A Year Older (yes..) and Wiser (hmm.. not too sure)..

December has always been a celebratory month for me. Bonus is not the only reason I look forward to year-end. The fact that both Christmas and my birthday happen to fall on December made it slightly more special than the other months of the year.. :)

To celebrate my birthday this coming week, we went to Morton's Steakhouse at Mandarin Oriental. Service was undoubtedly awesome! I was pleasantly surprised by the customised menu that screamed 'Happy Birthday RJ!' and the table setting that was decorated with glittering confetti.

Food wise, absolutely no complaints. The lobster bisque, which left an light alcoholic aftertaste, was lovely. The prime rib boneless steak, despite being at least 2 inches thick, was grilled to perfection - both inside and the outside. The sauteed mushroom and lyonnaise potatoes with onion were great too! We were so STUFFED that the waiter suggested us packing the leftovers so as to save some space for the warmed hot chocolate cake which we ordered for desert. Needless to say, desert was simply heavenly~! Oh yes, it was complimentary from the restaurant too!

Would I come back despite its relatively expensive menu? Definitely a non-hesitant YES!

Thanks to Esther for the brilliant recommendation!
