Nov Celebration 2 - Longbar Steakhouse

This year's birthday celebrations is quite special, we have a new member to the family. Naturally, we would like to bring him along with us for the celebrations. However, when I make a reservation at Raffles Longbar Steakhouse, it was with some apprehension as baby Aaron is most fussy in the evening.

It was quite a nice place actually. Tables were placed spaciously apart. The kitchen was an open area. We weren't sitting near the open kitchen so we didn't get the food smell on us.

Well, baby Aaron indeed threw tantrums. We also had to feed him during our meal, CP and I taking turns so that we each can finish our food. Not exactly a fine dining experience but we just accept it that this is going to be a part of our lives.

I had Australian Wagyu steak. Sadly, if you had tried Kobe or Matsusaka beef before, all the other wagyu beef paled in comparison. It was quite nicely done though, slightly charred on the outside and juicy inside. The marbling wasn't even, you can bite into large pieces of fat here and there.

CP had swordfish steak. Not too good actually because it was too thick and chunky a piece. Rather dry.

The food was quite salty and we can actually bite into granules of salt almost all the items we ordered.

Dessert was quite a nice raspberry chocolate fudge cake. The raspberry flavour helps to offset the richness of the chocolate.

Finally, I get a cheeseckae to take home, compliments from AMEX. Nice! Well, baby Aaron's tantrums had certainly make me think twice about bringing him to Les Amis for lunch tomorrow. We'll see ...
