With reservations required to secure a table, Sirius provides a seamless, elevated dining experience. For our celebration, we indulged in an exquisite course meal, where each dish was carefully curated to delight the senses.
We started off with two signature drinks:
For our special evening at the Sirius Sky Lounge, we decided to indulge in the signature cocktails. My wife opted for the Dogs Days, a vibrant reddish drink adorned with a delicate pink Hawaiian flower on top. The cocktail was delightfully sweet with a refreshing hint of lemon, making it a perfect complement to the elegant ambiance of the lounge.
I, on the other hand, chose the Yokohama Ship, a striking blue cocktail that featured a playful yet creative presentation. A small plastic pick held a figure of a ship, with a blue cherry as the sail and a slice of orange cleverly fashioned into the hull of the ship. The drink itself tasted reminiscent of blue Powerade, and it was as mouthwatering as it looked, offering a unique twist to the evening’s celebrations.
The orange is shaped like a boat.
The Course Meal: A Culinary Symphony
Amuse: Japanese Cream Cheese Appetizer Doused with Honey
The evening began with a delightful amuse-bouche. Creamy Japanese cream cheese, its subtle tanginess enhanced by a drizzle of golden honey, created a perfect bite to set the tone for the meal ahead.
Smoked Salmon Trout and Cuttlefish with Turnip Purée Salad
The first course featured a harmonious blend of smoked salmon trout and tender cuttlefish. The creamy turnip purée added a velvety texture, while the accompanying salad brought a refreshing, crisp balance to the dish.
Roasted Duck with Kumquat Compote and Orange Butter Sauce
This course highlighted succulent roasted duck, complemented by the bright, tangy sweetness of kumquat compote. The rich orange butter sauce added depth and tied all the flavors together beautifully.
Sautéed Cod and Kadaif-Fried Shrimp with Bisque Sauce and Basil
The seafood course was a true masterpiece. Flaky sautéed cod and crispy kadaif-fried shrimp sat atop a luxurious bisque sauce infused with basil, creating a dish that was both aromatic and indulgent.
Roasted Japanese Beef Sirloin with Stewed Mushrooms and Madeira Wine Sauce
For the main course, the expertly roasted Japanese beef sirloin took center stage. Its tender, savory profile was elevated by earthy stewed mushrooms and the rich complexity of Madeira wine sauce—a dish that epitomized culinary excellence.
Pear Mousse with Red Wine Earl Grey Ice Cream
Dessert was an elegant finale. The light pear mousse, paired with the sophisticated flavors of red wine and Earl Grey ice cream, offered a refined and satisfying end to the meal.
Bread and Coffee or Tea
Throughout the evening, freshly baked bread accompanied the meal, adding a comforting touch. As the perfect conclusion, we were served our choice of coffee or tea, a soothing way to reflect on the delightful dining experience.
The Birthday Cake: A Perfect Celebration Moment
Sirius Sky Lounge excels at making celebrations unforgettable. To mark the occasion, I had pre-ordered a beautifully crafted birthday cake, which was brought to the table with a single glowing candle. As the candle flickered, we were served tea, creating a heartwarming and memorable moment that was the highlight of the evening.
To make the occasion even more special, I paired the dinner with a thoughtful gift of luxurious lotion products, completing the perfect birthday celebration.
