outback steakhouse on our second year
we were both supposed to be on leave that day, but it so happened that i had to be on course! talk about mood spoilers! especially when it's a not-so-interesting-yet-comes-with-compulsory-test course, so much so that i was suffering from a slight migrane that afternoon. the flowers, half a dozen of two-toned pink roses, and the lovely handmade card (which took the bf two hours to draw) were indeed a surprise... and i really feel bad i didn't prepare anything for him in return.
we both decided on having steak that evening although teochew/taiwanese porridge was the initial choice. i guess it's not common to find good porridge buffet restaurants with good ambience (maybe except goodwood park hotel, although i'm still not sure if it's buffet-styled), and most authentic porridge shops are neighbourhood hawker stalls that target the clubber population during late nights. anyway, when it comes to steak, there really aren't that many choices, outback steakhouse was a place we've been wanting to try, so we've decided to save lawry's and just steak for other occasions (morton's wasn't even mentioned for obvious reasons). we both had our own 8-ounces worth of australian red meat, mine's a sirloin steak with mushroom sauce, and his was known as the prime minister's prime rib. the prime rib definitely tasted better, it was blushing pink on the inside, more tender and juicier than the sirloin. eh, but sirloins are meant to be chewier, right? hmmm, maybe i should have gone for the rib-eye. and check out that accompanying jacket potato dressed with tonnes of whipped butter, grated cheese and bacon bits, yummy!
no card from me (*oops*), so let me just say this, it has been two wonderful years, thank you for everything... with all my love. :-)
[1] my surprise presents! yay!
[2] at outback with the flowers.
[3] the bf waiting for his food, a hungry man is an angry man! anyway, the cutlery are all above average in size.
[4] chocolate flavoured bread served with whipped butter.
[5] the menu.
[6] he obviously likes the butter...
[7] that's the prime rib on the left,...
[8] ... and the sirloin steak beside it. the jacket potatoes are really good!
[9] trying to get a good first cut.
[10] finally, a together shot. but not a very good one, i seriously think all waiters/waitresses should attend photography classes, you can HARDLY find one that takes good pictures! and a rare few are enthusiastic about it. sad case.
[11] FULL, satisfied, and sleepy. ZZZzzz...
