Morton's The Steakhouse

Morton's is a name synonymous with great steaks so we were looking forward to a fantastic meal at the one located in The Venetian Macau. I chose the U.S. Aged Ribeye (663MOP/SG$117) and decided on medium-rare doneness. Well, the 16oz. (453gms) cut was enormous but it also turned out to be rather dense and heavier than expected. Even though it's juicy, it wasn't as flavourful in that rich beefy way that I like. To be honest, the piece of Australian Aged Porterhouse (758MOP/SG$134) I stole from my fellow diner's plate was a lot tastier and much more tender. I would order that instead if I am ever back here.
However, all the side dishes our group picked to share were superb. The buttery Chicago Mashed Potato (110MOP/SG$19.50) was whipped till gorgeously light in texture, and when the waiter served it, he offered sour cream, fried bacon or more butter as topping (we greedily opted for all three - lol!). Being a little hard to find in restaurants these days, I was glad the rest of my fellow diners also wanted the Brussel Sprouts (100MOP/SG$18.50). Sautéed with bacon and bits of sweet onion, I found this to be a yummy vegetable to go with meat. Although we knew it was going to be hard to finish, there was no way we could skip the Macaroni & Cheese (115MOP/SG$20.40). Heavy on the Parmesan, this was a little dry-ish but in a good way. Under the baked cheese, the curly pasta tubes were al dente and had just the right amount of white cream sauce coating them. We kept groaning we were full, and yet each of us couldn't stop reaching out for another of those maddeningly delicious twirls.
