Xmas Feast Harlan Goldstein
Xmas Feast, Harlan Goldstein really knows how to look after his customers. We had the best table in the restaurant located in the VIP area, thanks to my great friend Hamish Elton who is a regular customer there. That’s Hamish above with his lovely lady May, he is drinking Mexican Heatwaves & May is enjoying mango juice.
We arrived very early
4pm Xmas day, no wonder the place was empty. 🙂
I’ll start with an ice cold Peroni
Before we arrived at the restaurant Hamish & I had knocked off a bottle of Verve Clicquot French Champagne.
A perfect start to Xmas dinner
Succulent oysters from France.
Large, tasty & salty, Tsarskaya oysters from Cancale
The Tsarkaya Oysters have been the food of royalty since the dawn of time, including for Roman emperors, French Kings and even Russian Tsars. This fully fleshed oyster is exclusively ripened and produced in the bay of Mont Saint Michel.
Recently I bought 4 dozen mixed French & Irish oysters to Pattaya from El Mercado in Bangkok. Hamish expertly shucked them on my balcony & we washed them down with a cold white wine from New Zealand.
Next course smoked salmon
Quite delicious, sitting on a small potato pancake with sour cream & caviar.
Cinnamon spiced sweet potato soup
I’m a soup lover & this one did not disappoint, it was fabulous. In case you were wondering they are Maple croutons. 🙂
Charcoal grilled rib eye of beef.
So tender & cooked to perfection., served with red wine onion sauce.
Xmas turkey with sausage
There were 3 choices for main course, Hamish went for the turkey.
Desert to finish
I’m a sucker for desert, I have to maintain my 112 kilo of weight. 🙂

The busy chef joined us for a quick break & a cold beer then back to work. 🙂
The heavy artillery.
Can you believe they named this tequila “Religion”? It was very smooth indeed.
The menu
One thing is for certain, when you dine at Harlan’s you never leave hungry. 🙂
