My Momma's birthday, and beautiful steak!

Momma's Birthday!

So, last Saturday was my Mom's birthday, and we went to this place down at Holland V, called Barossa's.
A really really beautiful steak place. Steep pricing, gotta admit, but hey? It's quality food:)
Thanks to Jo-Jie for booking the place:)

One thing I fricking love about the place...
The steak knife.
THE STEAK KNIFE.

IT'S A PROPER KNIFE. Not one of those dinky things you get at your hawker centre, no siree.


You actually can cut a person with these. And it just feels oh so right:)

Another beautiful thing, is the presentation. This was when I started the meal. That's... my steak, steak sauce, creamy spinach and cheese, and potato gratin(go anti clockwise from the meat)
Really really nice presentation. And I have to say that the meal was delicious.

I started the meat. Cut off two chunks already, and dipped it in the steak sauce. One thing I love also, would be that the steak sauce came SEPARATE FROM THE MEAT. It's a very very small and minor detail, but I ALWAYS APPRECIATE that it's kept separate from the meat. It gives the diner a conscious choice on whether to avoid, or to eat WITH the sauce, know what I mean?

Anyway, the meat is a good rib-eye cut of meat, and I loved every bite of it.

So, the meat slowly melted into my mouthhhhh, andddddd

That's the meat gone.
Goodbye beautiful steak:(

Next thing I started on was the Spinach and Cheese thingy. I chose veggies (or at least... a BIT of veggie) because at this point of time, that damn flu came back again. Yeah. Annoying bastard of an illness.
It was, a small portion, but it was big enough in my opinion:)

So, that was the Spinach and cheese thingy.

2 Down, 1 to go~

Goodbye, Spinach thingy!

Potato Gratin.
And this was the weakest part of the meal, in my opinion. The potatoes they used were too hard, and there wasn't enough cheese to form a proper crust on the top. It was still eatable, of course. The cream used was of a very good quality, and the overall inner sauce was still beautiful.
The potato INSIDE however. Eh. Still a bit meh about it.

And that was the whole meal. Good bye, beautiful steak meal:(

So after dinner was over, we had the cake, and wished both Momma and May EeEe happy birthday!

Yeah, that was them blowing the candles out, but I couldn't get a good pic out:/

But it's pretty much not needed. Eh?
My Mom's the awesomest Mom ever. I love you, Mom. Happy Birthday, cheers, and may many many good things come up soon!
Thank you for accepting me for who I am, and loving me no matter what, and I'm sorry that I've let you down so many times before. You're the best Mom in the world and I love you.
There're so many things you taught me over the years ever since I was a young child, 'til this day, and only now, do I start seeing the importance in some of the lessons. Thanks for teaching me, and guiding me all this way! :)

ANYWAYS.

Cheers, people:)
