Lawry's

Had dinner with Cynthia at Lawry's for her birthday celebration....



the complimentary bread .....



which i didnt have.

and the signature spinning bowl salad.....



which... has never once impressed me in terms of taste. haha...



but point to note is the vegetables look fresher now, no more brown sides and service was much better. Staffs were polite, friendly and smiley. That was a good change.

den the wagon came!

the wagon with all the meat inside!



the chef preparing our orders....



the yorkshire pudding....



it went very well with the au jus that came with the steak. Cynthia didnt seem to like it as much as i did though. heh

and this is Cynthia's english cut... 3 pretty thin pieces....



another view... and she ordered the creamed spinach as a top up...



the creamed spinach was alright.. it was in a mash... pretty ok... i usually like creamed spinach but i didnt find it impressive.

and den my thick lawrys cut....



another view....



and doing a comparison of the different cuts....



the prime rib was oh-so-good as usual! It was done medium rare and the steak was oh-so-tender!!

we also ordered a baked potato to share.. we were given options to mix it with butter, chopped spring onions, bacon and sour cream and they'll mix it at the side for us.

i opted for just the butter and spring onions....



cynthia's one with everything in.....



cynthia really liked the baked potato and i'd say it was really good as well.

for desserts, our set meal came with an option of blueberry cheesecake and chrysanthemum creme brulee.

Cynthia being a cheesecake lover, went for the blueberry cheesecake....



another view of it....



and my creme brulee.....



the blueberry cheesecake was alright in my view. Cynthia seemed to like it so i guess its good?

as for my chrysanthemum creme brulee, it really had the gek huay taste! It was rather special in a way, never actually had chrysanthemum creme brulee before. But comparing it to the original creme brulee i tried during my first visit with Lionel, this one fades in comparsion coz that very first one i had was so robust in taste. it certainly was the best creme brulee i've ever tried so far.

The meal came up to $229... with $100 off, thanks to ABN Amro's masterpiece dining voucher~
