Alex's Bday Part 2

The much anticipated restaurant - Morton's

To tell the truth i didnt really research on the price before i brought Alex there for his bday

Just thought he would enjoy it so went ahead n made the reservation online...

Thinking to myself... how expensive can it be...

But i must admit i was abit stunned when i saw the price!

More than $100 for a steak???


I indicated that it is my bf's bday when i made the reservation and the menu had Happy Birthday specially printed on the top! Really thoughtful of them!


His 'U sure u want to pay for this?' face


The GIANT complimentary bread!


I am not a fan of bread but the bday boy was pleased!


The seafood baked appetizer platter... $85


Us with the appetizer platter...
ok fine dining places are always very dark and not at all conducive for taking pics...




my heart pained face... lol!


and the smile that makes it all worth it...


the giant yummy prawn!


the huge scallop wrapped with bacon!


crab cake fully loaded with crab meat!


lobster bisque... $36


but his expression says it all

we both think it is a can skip item on the menu...

the soup was abit too diluted for our liking and not strong enough in taste...


i like the one at Dolce Vita more and that is only $20 i think...


the table deco which is apt for my lazy bday boy born in the year of the pig...


the desserts platter placed next to us to tempt us!

we thought they were models until Alex poked a hole in the cake!


the guilty faced boy!


then came our enormous main course!


busy taking pics to put on facebook


my yummy ribeye!


his humongous 16oz cajun steak... which is the best steak i've ever eaten!


the super delighted bday boy!


our side profiles are not our best profile


my steak was huge thick and yummy too but i just found the Cajun one more flavourful!


and as expected both steaks were too huge for us to finish! especially after the huge appetisers and soup...


with the doggy bag though the only doggy at home is me!


as it was Alex's birthday, the souffle is complimentary (phew!) and Alex picked a chocolate one




the pretty waitress once again took photo for us...


Happy 30th Birthday baby! May you have another more wonderful 30 years and more ahead! Hehe!


Total bill nearly $400
Baby's smile... priceless!

Who has the shorter tongue?


the Vday cum Bday white chocolate strawberry mousse cake from Barcook


erm the love christie should be another line but guess they ran out of space...

Alex's Bday Part 1

15th February 2013 

As Alex always tries me to bring me to good places for special occasions, i was abit stressed about where to bring him for his bday that can surprise him...

Especially when the boy is more atas than me and know alot more good places!

As we were both on leave on his birthday (a Friday), i suddenly thought of a place i always wanted to try if i m on leave!

Au Petit Salut @ Dempsey!

the bread...

Thanks to my uni gal frens, Pris and Cherish for recommending it in the past!

I kept remembering them mentioning that the set lunches on weekdays are a good deal!

n at $36++ i must say they really are!

especially for the quality french food that they serve...

the happy bday boy who have never even heard of this restaurant much less been there!

yeah so i managed to score a point n successfully surprise him!

Alex loves bread while generally i m not a fan since i try as much as possible to cut on carbo...

the $7 drinks we ordered on top of the set lunch...

abit too sweet n sinful so i would recommend giving it a miss...




i feel that the sunny lighting at the very much open restaurant gives a perfect lighting for taking iphone pics!

love all the pics taken here!


my appetiser - escargots! something that Alex is not accustomed to having... but i love them!


those at Au Petit Salut were good despite being not warm enough for my liking maybe due to mass production as the restaurant was full house both inside n outside even on a weekday afternoon!


ok i really m getting old i have no idea what is Alex's appetiser at all... i cant even remember how it taste like...


must go back and ask Alex what is it...


my main was roast chicken which we both wanted to order cos we are both chicken lovers!

but thanks for always giving in to me baby!


it was really juicy and tender despite it being breast meat! love it!


Alex ordered snapper so that we can try more dishes!


which was very fresh and tasty too... n the sauce in a cup was so delicious that we finished it all!


the illy tea was part of the set...


Alex acting cute!


as u can see my drink was barely touched, i would recommend to shamelessly ask for tea to be served at the start!


my sinful dessert!


the Profiteroles with ice-cream almond slices and chocolate sauce


 
Alex opted for a healthier alternative



i think is some tofu pudding with sorbet! 

love it even more than my rich deessert! but then again i love pudding of all sorts!

After which we went to a couple spa at Bella Luna at Habourfront bought as a deal...

massage was good and comfortable (i fell asleep)

though the indoor jacuzzi was abit tiny for the 2 of us! 

still overall a good experience... recommended!

package they quoted was also reasonably priced...

so i applaud Alex for being able to resist it...

if i went alone...
