Outback Steakhouse

My family always has a tough time deciding on what to eat during the weekends :p there are just SO MANY food places that we have yet to and want to try out. :p we decided to visit Millenia Walk this weekend! i haven't been there since it was renovated quite recently. actually, i didn't really see any difference :p i think it's because most of the changes were on the second floor, but we didn't venture up there. anyways, we ate at outback steakhouse for dinner (:

when a restaurant starts off with serving us bread...it creates a great first impression for me! :D i'm such a bread junkie xD especially when it's as lovely as this one (: it's a pretty unique type of bread, really dark in colour. i guessed it was pumpernickel! but had no way to verify it haha. it was wonderfully soft and fluffy, and tasted good on its own, without the need for any condiments. in fact, i felt that it didn't taste as good after i had spread the butter on it. oh well.


we ordered 3 appetizers and 2 mains because the appetizers just seemed so...APPETIZING! (for the lack of a better word :p) the pan-seared darling point crab cakes with remoulade sauce ($14.90) reminded me of the stuffed crabs i ate in malaysia a couple of years ago! they were sooo lovely (: crispy patties with fluffy crabmeat inside it. i love it for the convenience xD and taste of course! the remoulade sauce (no idea what that is) was really tasty!

for some reason, our two other appetizers arrived after the main courses, but no worries, we just ate them all together! ;) the aussie cheese fries with monterey jack cheese and bacon with spicy ranch dressing ($13.90) was voted the best appetizers unanimously among us. the fries were fragrant on their own, and with the cheese, they were just superb! :D although the cheese solidified after awhile, but it was still tasty (: and the ranch dressing was an interesting blend of tatar sauce and other things which i couldnt identify.

the buffalo wings ($15.90) on the other hand, were disappointing. we should have ordered the mushrooms instead (another dish on the appetizer list - TRY IT! And tell me how it tastes ;) ). they were just fried chicken wings, which were not at all spectacular. :/ sad.

the pork ribs on the barbie ($32.90) were not bad i guess. i've tried better ones, but this one was pretty good in the sense that the meat was tender and falling-off-the-bone type (: i think the sauce could be improved on though! what i liked most about this was actually the steamed vegetables that came with it haha.

we were pretty shocked at the outback sirloin ($29.90) when it arrived at our table. it looked small! O.O usually steaks are of a pretty standard size aren't they? this one was smaller than usual though, and kind of put me off with it's appearance. but the taste made up for it! :D the beef was tender, with just the right amount of fat and juice. and it was wonderfully marinated that i loved it on its own, without having to pour on the brown sauce (which was kinda salty). lovely (:
