No fun and wild dress up party like 365 days ago.
This year I had quite a serene birthday celebration with family...
… and steaks.
Savoy Bistro is housed inside the East Asian Art Gallery which explains why there are just too
many display objects in the restaurant. All the paintings, sculptures and knick knacks you see,
you can take them home for a fee.
We occupied this cozy private room...
Where we had great view of the kitchen action
This complimentary appetizer of chorizo and olive on pumpernickel is really delicious.
I wiped out the plate in no time.
Mussels & Co. in Tomato and Basil
Mussels & Co. in White Wine and Cream
The mussels were fresh, plump and juicy. I had a grand time mixing the two sauces in my bowl, throwing in chunks of crusty bread and drinking the whole thing like soup. Yumminess.
The mains were just okay. Good but nothing to write home about.
