Outback Steakhouse + Max Brenner Chocolate Bar

I had a craving to have steak, sinful thick piece of beef to savour on a nice Friday evening. We happily parked ourselves at Outback Steakhouse in Millenia Walk for this purpose of satisfying my appetite.

Ahh...some warm bread with butter to start off our meal. The bread was soft, moist and fluffy, just the way i like it. But didn't like the fact that it looked like a crime scene with the knife stuck onto its belly.

Here's my Sirloin Steak ( I always order medium rare). According to the menu it was supposed to be 'seasoned and seared to perfection', but mine was tough and dry. Plus, the table at the restaurant was a little high for me ( made for those ang mohs), so my elbow was aching from all the slicing....arrrgghhh....one word : FRUSTRATION. On the bright side, the mashed potato was commendable.

Heehee...my friend was chiding me for coming here cos she is on a strict diet. She had to order this Grilled Chicken Breast which she complained was dry like shit...haha.... and way too expensive for its quality. Looks like we'll never return again...

For dessert, it's at Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar at the Esplanade. The last time i was here was like 5 years ago, quite surprised that nothing has changed. Except that this time around, the waitresses are sooooooo yaya-papaya....treated us like we were invisible. Such below-par service....

My friend ( the one on a diet...haha), had to just have this little mug of hot dark chocolate. The odd thing about this mug is that, she didn't know how to use it, meaning where to put her mouth.... It's shaped like a teardrop, so your guess is as good as mine :S

I ordered their signature dessert : Suckao - Do It Yourself Concentrated Hot Chocolate Shot. It comes with chocolate pastilles of your choice ( i picked Milk Chocolate) and with a cup of warm milk. You basically mix it into this aromatheraphy cup with a small fire below and suck it out from the metal straw ( which also works as a stirrer).

This is what it looks like after mixing. The word Suckao comes from two words that describe the utensil and the unique it contains. SUCK - to draw the dense liquid through the metal tube. KAKAO - the Spanish word for cocoa beans.
