I am excited to join Foodie Friday again. FF is hosted by our most talented Michael. To see more scrumptious post, go visit her at http://designsbygollum.blogspot.com/
While we were aboard the Oasis, my sister celebrated her 72nd birthday. I don't think she minds me mentioning her age here because she kept revealing it to everyone on the ship, lol. Besides, I don't think she looks her age anyway.
While we were aboard the Oasis, my sister celebrated her 72nd birthday. I don't think she minds me mentioning her age here because she kept revealing it to everyone on the ship, lol. Besides, I don't think she looks her age anyway.To celebrate with her, she treated us to dinner in an exclusive restaurant in Central Park, not in Manhattan but on the ship. We had to eat early, 6 PM, because kids were not allowed to eat in this particular restaurant. They made an exception for AJ after my sister's pleading but we had to take an early reservation.
I thought this wall art is pretty cool. The discs and flowers look like Italian glass.
The menus were so fancy. And what a beautiful presentation of the food! I really like the round menu. Chef Keriann Von Raesfeld did a good job preparing the food. Enlarge the mosaic to read her accomplishments.
The whole party: the celebrant, Fe, and her hubby are on the first picture.
The appetizer, Seared Sea Scallop, won first prize in appetizer category somewhere. Sorry I could not remember what the waiter told us, lol.

The main entrees: a cube of Halibut and Wagyu Strip steak, a Kobe beef, which came all the way from Japan.
Everything was so delicious! Happy birthday again, sis! Thanks for the nice treat and the wonderful time.

Oh, goodness, Christine...my mouth is watering. And I do love the presentation!! I am sure all of you enjoyed this wonderful feast!
I love the wall art too, but I really love those chairs that look like they would just engulf someone! I would probably fall asleep in one if the food wasn't so exciting! lol!!
Your sister Fe is beautiful and certainly does not look her age. What is her secret? AJ looks like she is having a blast. How fun.
I am loving your tales of your cruise, sweet lady friend!! :-)

Oh wow! I love it when food is pretty! The restaurant looks amazing. I'm traveling now myself, so I'm having trouble reading many blogs. I'm glad I caught this post. Your sister doesn't look her age at all!

Oh yum! It looks so delicious. I can't believe how gorgeous your sister is at 72. She could pass for her 40's. I love the chairs with the wrap around high backs. Happy Birthday to your sis! Rosie
