Outback Steakhouse (Millenia Walk)'s 1-for-1 Lunch Special

Outback Steakhouse is an Australian-inspired steakhouse chain with outlets in many countries. Besides serving steaks, there is also a good selection of chicken, ribs, seafood and pasta options that is wallet-friendly.

 
I have been to Outback Steakhouse a few times before and I have been impressed with the quality of the food so far, I was delighted when I learnt about the 1-for-1 lunch promotion. Let's go and check out this fabulous deal!  
 

 

 

 

 
I have been to Outback Steakhouse a couple of times and the breadboard never fails to impress me. The soft wheat bread is aromatic and warm to the touch, and it tastes heavenly with the butter that Outback Steakhouse churn themselves. I wanted to buy a bottle of that luxurious butter but I was told that it is not available for sale.  

 

 
Soup of the Day was Mushroom Soup. It tastes like Campbell Soup, only saltier. I almost gagged trying to force that down my throat.  

 

 
Eating salad doesn't have to be boring anymore when there is Shrimp, Salmon, Chicken or Steak Caesar Salad. The one shown here is Salmon Steak Salad where a piece of grilled salmon fillet sits on top of a bed of fresh salad. 

 

 
Brick Chicken is well-seasoned and the savory lemon garlic sauce perks up the taste bud with the slight tanginess. However, the chicken is rather dry and the mashed potatoes taste as if it was dunked in salted before serving. 

 

 

 

 
I ordered a medium-rare Outback Special and this is what I get: an almost raw piece of steak that is burnt on the top (it is so tough I could hardly cut the meat) while the other side is oozing blood like nobody's problem. I have to say that the steak is very juicy, maybe a little too juicy. 
 
Apparently there was a mix-up in the kitchen and we ended up waiting for more than 40 minutes before our food arrived. The staff was very apologetic about the long wait and she waived off our charges so we literally dined for free, but that does not make up for the horrible quality of food. I personally feel that this 1-for-1 promotion will only spell disaster for Outback Steakhouse. The restaurant is obviously ill-equipped in handling such a massive influx  of customers with limited staff and cooks. 
 
Although I am totally and utterly horrified by this dining experience, I fully believe in Outback Steakhouse's quality of food and I will still patronize the restaurant, but I will avoid going during lunch hour or when there is a promotion.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
