My birthday - Day 1

This post is overdue but I have only just now had a chance to sit down and recount my birthday weekend! (From January 17-20th) Thanks to my wonderful hubby, turning 28 didn't have to be so ordinary!

I had enjoyed Galileo Restaurant at the Langham Hotel (previously Observatory Hotel) before and so thought we were due to return! Again, they did not disappoint! Because it was a Thursday night, it was a pleasant, quiet evening in the restaurant. A pianist entertained with many jazz favourites (many Gershwin classics, a real birthday treat for me!).

We stayed the night at the Four Seasons Hotel - we got upgraded to a full harbour view room thanks to Paul's work colleague's sister who works there!


This Crustacean salad with King crab and Balmain Bug
was presented so attractively on the plate!

Seared yellow fin tuna with tamarillo chutney,
crispy shallot and lemon oil jus
Tajima Beef Tenderloin with heirloom tomato, olive
tapenade and natural jus - the beef melted in your mouth

Dates Clafoutis with Pistachio Ice Cream
& Campari Syrup
My birthday petit fours - macarons, delicious chocolate
mousse pyramid and a brownie!
(Did someone mention I like chocolate?)
