Once again at Morton’s after our last visit<\/a>. I had made the reservation via Morton’s<\/a> website the night before indicating it was going to be a birthday celebration for JR. Though it was 30th in Orlando, it was actually 31st Dec, 9 AM in Singapore.\u00c2\u00a0 We were celebrating JR’s birthday according to the time in Singapore. We arrived at exactly 8 PM and were brought to our table, which was decorated with confetti, similar to what was done to our table in our previous visit. The dim and cosy ambience of the restaurant is also similar to the one in Singapore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What a surprise! Even the menu was personalised with “Happy Birthday, Junrong!” and the date.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The menu<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our expensive natural spring water – US $9.25 (before tax)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not long after we were seated, a waiter pushed a trolley full of raw food over to our table and began introducing the different\u00c2\u00a0 ingredients that they have, the type & parts of a cow, the types of seafood, etc. Aware of the large portion of food that Morton’s will serve, the 4 of us decided to share a “Steak & Seafood for 2” meal and upgraded the size of the steak.<\/p>\n

Total damage… not as bad as expected. We had a great meal.<\/p>\n

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!<\/p>\n
