No offense to anyone who has done it but...why would you eat a steak in Singapore or Hong Kong? I would think that those two places would have great food for everyone that a steak wouldn't matter.

I try to explain: It's different! It's exotic! :) It makes for a change from the usual cow stomach soups and hotpots featuring everything moving, although I enjoy those a lot. A friend of mine is doing a thriving business in HK with his sports themed American/Brit grub restaurants and most customers are HK or mainland Chinese.

My first trip to Hong Kong back in 2001 coincided with a plan on my part to eat innevery single Morton's. I did eat there one night and found it to be as good as the U.S. Morton's. That said, it was substantially more expensive as all the ingredients had to be flown-in from the States. It is located on the 4th Floor of the Sheraton, so it does not offer a particularly nice view of the skyline, even though it faces in the proper direction.

Well, I guess everything is novel to those who it is different to.

Business clients. It is also considered a trendy place by the local business elite in Singapore and Hong Kong.

I'll second that. Also, for us non-Americans good prime steak is often hard to find and prohibitingly expensive. On my usual turfs in Asia and Europe I can get anything from oysters to steamed silkworms, but a delicious medium rare steak with good sides is the one exception.

That's because all beef is usually imported to Asia. And they typically come from the US or Canada.

Hey, back on topic people! ;) C'mon, need more food selections please! Only 2 more days until dinner! :D

So can someone describe this Godiva Cake that I keep hearing about? Is it a souffle?

Paging [b]meducate[\b] to the white courtesy phone...

Tomato salad with blue cheese
Filet, butterflied, medium
hash browned potatoes

Yes. An oven baked chocolate cake filled with molten chocolate. IF you have any room left after the steak it is an absolutely amazing way to end dinner.

Love the Godiva cake more than I like the steaks actually. Best story about the cake was I was in DC for a training that was mostly being attended by the higher up partners of our firm. I was definitly low man on the totem pole. We were walking back to our hotel after a ridiculously expensive dinner. I spot the Morton's and comment that I love the cake. Partner responds "Let's go get some then!" Walk in and restaurant was packed. Partner asks to be seated just for cake. Host says he can't seat us just for dessert. Partner mentions we will be drinking $1,000 bottle of port with said cake. We got a table pretty quickly! :D

Need to check out the Godiva Cake. :p

That's a great story! :) My boss made me work late one night and then offered to buy dinner "downstairs" -- at Morton's. I'd never had dinner there, just drinks, so he had them go through the whole spiel with the steaks for me. It was great compensation for a tough evening revising spreadsheets. Too bad I didn't have to work late that often!

And yeah...that cake was so to die for! My boss told me specifically to save room for it...just heavenly (the cake, not the boss)!

Okay, so I ended up ordering my usual (bone in ribeye - rare/medium rare and asparagus), but we did try some new things as well. My hubby had the double filet with the au poive peppercorn sauce...great flavor, and we ordered the hashbrowns as well. I was not that impressed with the hashbrowns...IMO, I think the greesy ones at Denny's and IHOP are better!

And we did save room for the Godiva cake. It was AMAZING, but also small...I was expecting it to be the size of the souffles, but it was much smaller. I recommend each person ordering their own!
