Restaurant: Outback Steakhouse
Location: 9 raffles Boulevard

Tel: (65) 68373242

It was when both of us were hungry for thick meat slabs that we decided to try out this place that i've heard so much about..







The Outback Steakhouse

















Bread. It's the first time i see bread being served this way..








Anyway both of us ordered the 8-ounce Outback Sirloin($27.90) which comes with two side dishes of our own choice.






Thick juicy steak!!


I know they got one of the most sought after dessert (Chocolate Thunder from Downunder) but their steak is incredibly fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. And the sauce that comes with it (i suspect it contains rum) compliments the steak really really well.. And i suggest to have your steak medium raw and your meat will be damn tenderlarh!!






Evidence of a good quality steak. Cooked evenly on all four sides and the difference in color tone from the edge of the steak to the center of it...arent ya drooling alr??!!

Peng Fei's 23rd @ Shokudo

For our dearest PengFei's 23rd Bday, we went to Shokudo @ Raffles City Basement for dinner.




It is the Japanese version of Mache. It practices similar concept from selling their food in a bazaar-like restaurant to using a magnetic-striped card to keep track of your expenses.

The only difference is that they serve totally Japanese food instead. They have the classic jap sushi, tempura, and ramen to modern jap influenced pizza, pasta, and chicken chop.



Look at the spread on our dinner table....and this's only the first round..




Japanese omelette




Japanese Hot Plate Omelette



Gyoza - Japanese dumpling



Salmon Sashimi



Scallop sashimi




Japanese sliced cheese cake with candles marking pf's age incorrectly...



Japanese sweet crepe with chocolate sauce and caramelized sliced banana





Japanese ice-kacang with a scoop of green tea flavored ice-cream



The food in Shokudo is not exactly expensive. But when you go in big groups, food just keep coming to the table and when it's time for the bill, well....Ka Ching! So tip: DONT GO IN BIG GROUPS!!

Food wise, some were nice but most were mediocre to me. The kushiyaki (meat on skewers) was very tasty and delicious, so as their tempura. Their scallop sashimi is very nice and fresh but i've seen better salmon sashimi in SAKURAYA@The Village along Pasir Panjang Rd. Their omelette, hot plates, and desserts were normal, not entirely a level above other restaurants'.

However one thing in Shokudo that i cant find anywhere else is their Green Tea Macha Drink! For the price of $2.50(if im not wrong), it is rich, flavorful, refreshing, and super addictive!





Happy Birthday to ChenPengFei

Best Teh Peng I've ever tasted

About a month ago, i was working as a temp in this event company called Hivelocity to help them out on an event called the DBS Children's Charity Run...




Hivelocity mainly deals with sporting events such as the Adidas Sundown Marathon and the Iron Man.

The DBS Children's Charity Run was held at the Bishan Park... Its the first of its kind ever initiated by DBS and its important for Hivelocity to ensure the event runs smoothly, to leave a good impression.



Anyway, lunchtime was always the highlight of the day for me cz the perms that has been working there for ages always bring us out for cheap tasty delicious food...

What impresses me the most is this drinks stall located inside the Beach Road Food Centre... walking distance from Lau Pa Sat...


01-67: Syed Mohammed Drinks Stall


Yes, the Q is this long... just to get a drink from Mr. Syed.... and what are all of them q-ing for?????


They're all craving for the same thing.. their famous Teh Peng.. compared to the one u had in Fong Seng, their's is like fit for kings...
Most of the tehpeng in Singapore that i've tasted are either too diluted or too sweet. The stingy tehpeng maker would purposely give u tonnes of ice and very little teh.. if u dont finish it in 5 mins, it'll be tasteless...
but Mr. Syed's tehpeng can last long enuf for me to tapau back to ofc and slowly enjoy it late into the evening and it still taste good.. its not too gao and not too sweet, justtttttttt nice. Even when the ice melts...
Price: $1.20 i tink.. which is perfectly reasonable.



And they maintain good hygiene standards...



To avoid long q, just dont go during lunchtime.. I had it everyday when i was there and still cant get enuf.. The perfect cold drink to end off a meal of oily hawker food... Syiok!


UPDATE: Haha.. looks like the DBS peeps subscribed to google alerts and they informed charmaine about my entry.. Anw, correction..... It is not Beach Road Food Center but its AMOY STREET FOOD CENTER.. and the price for the teh peng is not $1.20 but only $1buck!! Aih, my corroding memory.. Thanks Charmaine!
