Christmas, just like the Chinese New Year in Chinese tradition, is the most important festival in Western culture. Relatives are all gathered in a house and have a nice dinner together. They eat, chat and laugh together. This is not just simply a dinner, this is a dinner full of warmness and love.
For celebrating Christmas, I took my beloved one to Lily & Bloom(though it was a bit too early to celebrate it in Mid-Nov). Spending 10-15 mins to find the restaurant, we arrive to this elegant restaurant. The inner design is so westernized: a long bar table with seafood on the side for the customers to chit-chat, eat and drink, a big wine glass stand for holding the wine glass, red tiles wall, elegant lights and some “windows” at the roof. It seemed that you were in a big house. Of course, to echo with the restaurant’s name, the owner put a lot of dehydrated flower decoration in the restaurant. With the dimmer light, the restaurant become a good place for chatting.
For food, the restaurant offered food which is quite special. Therefore, what we picked are new for me:
Cedar River Beef Tartare

It included wasabi aioli, fresh lime and beef “chips”. The beef is a bit raw in outlook, but by mixing with the wasabi aioli and lime, it tasted fresh and soft. The chip was crispy and if you put the beef on top of it, the taste was quite matched.

It was one of the special dishes of the night. It included the dry aged wagyu beef patty, truffle aioli, cheddar and bacon and fries. The size is big and the cheddar and bacon were very thick. However, it was not too dry and still a little bit juicy. The fries were not oily and obviously hand cut, because they were not of one shape and size.
Steak Frites

Rib-eye steak was big in size. However, it was not as juicy as the beef tartare. Even though, what make this dish special is the house daikon sauce. The taste was unique and we could not figure how the sauce was made of (even the waitress didn’t want to tell us as it was a secret!)

Mixed with four cheese sauces and truffle butter, the dish was full of cheese taste and I thought it was a bit over.

There were two different ice cream: caramel and vanilla. With chocolate cookie crumble and sauce, the taste was not just sweet.

Maybe peach was not my favorite, the taste was not as attractive as I think. However, its outlook was marvelous.
What a meal! With a glass of cocktail, we chatted for a long time. Sometime, love is simple. Love is, to share and spend time with your loved one. That’s LOVE.Christmas is the time to LOVE!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Other Info. :
It is a fine dinning restaurant. For those who don't have time to spend time on dinner, I suggest you to go to have dinner elsewhere. It is because the food you ordered would not come so quickly.
