Last Lovely Weekend? - Outback Restaurant

Dearie is finally working on a weekend, after warning came from him two months ago, and I was bored and lonely while waiting for his return... =(

***********

Since Labour Day was the 1st of May and that also marked the arrival of his shift duty the next following day, we decided to meet up on Friday's night to chill out a bit before lonely weekend blues arrived... I was really guilty because I turned up late and that dearie was waiting for me more than 2 hours..

It was really uneventful for dearie (despite on my part, I caught 2 prizes while toy-catching) as he has lost his atm card while we were @Suntec. Honestly till now, we were still pondering whether the card had been confiscated by the atm machine or either it had been picked up by a greedy fellow (~curses!! _*&^%$#@)

Two tired lovebirds sitting outside Suntec Carrefour around 9pm (without dinner) while one was busy on the phone waiting for the operator to answer the call while the other was almost dozing off waiting for her partner to finish terminating the "lost" card. Honestly, after dearie had lost his card, I seriously wondered are those creditcards/banks hotlines useful? All they did before you can actually terminate the fucking lost card was to ask you to go on hold while they transfer you from the fucking voice machine!  =.=

*************

Anyway, back to where I had begun from... We had limited cash resources and I really wanted to give dearie a little special dinner to cheer him up; (i was kind of guilty why I had been so careless like him and I did not even remind him to collect his card) so I decided to bring dearie to Millenia Walk to dine....

AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK RESTAURANT

That was the restaurant which we passed by the other time when we went to Suntec and dearie mentioned that he had never tried that restaurant before... Based on cosy australian theme, Outback served generous portions of western food; be it chicken, fish or steak!

Outback dishes have unique names, and apparently, me and dearie decided to have the same dish... We ordered two sets of "Chicken on The Barbie" for our main. All the other dishes on the menu also sounded really tasty!!

"Chicken on The Barbie"

~ Fresh boneless chicken breast seasoned and grilled.

Served with barbeque sauce on the side and steamed veggies...~

Apart from the main course, we also ordered "Aussie cheese fries"!!

And free-flow (termed bottomless) coke and grap soda to go along with our food..

"Aussie Cheese Fries"

~Aussie chips top with montery jack, cheddar cheeses and bacon;

Served with spicy ranch dressing~

While waiting for our orders to arrive, a loaf of bread and magarine was served.. (looks chocolate but not chocolate though)

Dearie was busy spreading butter and serving me my share the whole time! =P

Our cheese fries was served despite they took quite a hell long of a time

 (forgiven since the restaurant was super packed)

I am glad that dearie was contented with the food and service of the restaurant and kind of cheered up while we were on our way back home.. Since he wanted to get a replacement atm card issued, I promised to bring him to Jurong Point the next day as it was previously mentioned by qiu that the banks there closed later than the usual. But it came as unexpected, we saw the gloomy gates locking us away from the bank when we arrived the next day...

(WE HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN THAT IT WAS LABOR'S DAY PUBLIC HOLIDAY)!

To compensate our empty stomachs, we sought around the mall for food before we headed down to Suntec (again.).. I actually suggested Crystal Jade Restaurant but dearie was captivated by Benten Cafe (which was located just in front along the path before reaching Crystal Jade).

A creamy salmon mushroom pasta (cooked the japanese way) for me; while dearie chose sumptous yakiniku curry rice... Unlike the horrible curry rice @Suki Sushi Cineleisure, Benten's curry rice was really different! Despite not being the tastiest curry rice which I've had eaten before, I kinda fancied the unique bowls which they placed the food in it when served...

To complement our empty stomachs, we ordered potato croquette and healthy orange-carrot fruit juices to go along too!

Took MRT to City Hall to get to Suntec City to shop, and get my hello kitty stickers to re-bling my camera. Kinda disappointed because the charmy stickers which we saw earlier last month was no longer available and we were left with the hello kitty ones..

Dearie brought me to Cottage Waffles in the late evening...

 Woo, they made lovely crispy waffles! =)

There also catered laksa (a stall beside Cottage Waffles). I was eyeing the whole time till dearie said "Just order if you feel like having some."

Well, nothing special happened on Sunday as dearie was working.. =(

dispite we had some lovely "Kong-Bar-Baos" which dearie's ah ma had bought. (Fatty Pork Buns)! xD

Anyway, I pray that dearie's devilish schedule and my hell-like work will come to an end soon.
