Best Birthday Celebration - Morton's Steak

If someone is to ask me today, "where is the best place to celebrate birthday, my answer will be" Morton's Steak".  After the experience in Morton's, I realised that the best dining experience is a combination of food, service, to the very minute details.

These are the reasons why it is the best place to celebrate birthday (Of course if your budget can afford it)

1.  Customised menu. 
It has your name printed on it.  Does not cost much but it warms your heart.

2.  Fresh Ingredients

Before you order your food, they start with the "sales" talk to introduce their fresh ingredients.  It is a good chance for you to know the different cut of the meat.

 Morton's serve seafood too.  Lobster!  But I wonder why are you eating seafood in Morton's?

3.  Best Bread- Onion Loaf
I can never get enough of this.  Crispy on the outside, soft and warm in the inside.  Do not commit the same mistake as me, ate too much of this, and not much stomach space left for appetizer & steak!

4.  Best Appetizer

Steamed Scallop wrapped with Bacon

Look at the fats on the bacon!!  Yummy

 Lobster Bisque.  Very rich and creamy.  To be honest, I was full after the bread and appetizer.

5.  Best Wine Selection

I refrain myself from saying is the best wine.  The selection is good, from the traditional wine country to the new world.  But it is pricey, probably marked up 200-300%!  We chose a Spanish wine to go with our steak.

6.  Best Steak

These are the stars of the night.  Tender, cook to perfection, what else can you ask for in your steak?

Big cut, at least 400grams

Small one, single cut filet mignon.  About 180 grams, still too much for me.  Interestingly, Filet Mignon means "cute fillet" or "dainty fillet" in French.

7.  Best Dessert

Morton's legendary molten chocolate cake!

 Apple crumble, where they also serve with the birthday candle.  It happens to be GT's favourite colour :)  When they served this, they will also gather around your table and sing you a birthday song, LOUDLY!

8.  Birthday card

After a satisfying meal, how do end the dinner on a high note?  Well, Morton's did it in its way, the Mortons' birthday card!  Again, it does not cost much, but it made the birthday girl extremely happy.

Not cheap, but it is worth a visit to celebrate some special occasion.  No wonder we were not the only one celebrating birthday.
