A Birthday Party Aboard the Oasis

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.

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 second pic is a butter container and I like the soup cup with its dome. And do you see how the Trio of Beet Salad was presented? Cute egg shaped bowls!

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.

Thanks, Michael, for hosting another fun event and thank you all for visiting!
