Morton's is about the flavor of its choice-cut meats, so the steaks are unseasoned except for a bit of salt. Sides are a la carte and sized for sharing, including jumbo asparagus, bacon-and-onion mac and cheese, and sour-cream or horseradish mashed potatoes. New on the summer bill of fare: Parmesan and truffle matchstick fries and a savory spinach salad - new to the chain's Asia menus but quite familiar to fans of the steakhouse in the US.
The bar at Morton's is so famous for its "Mortini" that it almost feels sacrilegious to choose another pre-dinner cocktail. But there were no martini drinkers at our table, so we went straight for the wine list, opting for an Argentine malbec, a rich and - dare we say "meaty" - wine that was in perfect harmony with our big, juicy steaks.
Dessert options include a popular ice-cream sundae that's massive enough for the table to share. We also opted for a Grand Marnier souffle, a gloriously light puff, not too sweet, that Morton's is justly famous for. Next time we'll try a just-added summer special: apple crisp with a scoop of ice cream.
