Birthday Dinner at Outback
Location: Alternate Box of Digital Utility
Mood-of-the-day: Thanks for the B-day Wished!! :D
Wow, I hardly knew you guys through your own daily ramblings and gave me big B-day Wishes! I supposed now you want to pee-peek on how last Friday went, right? Oh come on, of course you do! Your invited intrusion (and some uninvited) into my personal details is the very survival of this ‘ere bloggie. So tit for a tat, here’s how my 20th B-day goes.
We had planned to go to Outback at Bangsar but the new outlet won’t accept the 30% discount on Maybank credit card. So we had to take the long walk to Bintang Walk’s. And when I say long walk, I mean lo~ooong walk. There was the Lantern Festival and much of the roads were closed. Not that my dad had ever favoured driving around KL anyway. We opted for the familiar KL Monorail (bro’s first ride).
The whole area was (to put it by first sight) noisy. Chinese drummers banging their beat one end of the street and Indians were equipped with cymbals on the other. We didn’t managed to take pictures of them since dad was in a hurry to get in time for the reservation (sis and bro-in-law would be meeting us there). So I didn’t really managed to sink in a lot of Bintang Walk will get to it on Saturday (Low Yat Plaza).
Outback, with its entire Australian theme, was actually started by some American from Florida, just as Delifrance was first in Singapore. We had planned to go to Saray at first but the Outback discount was preferable. We’ll try the turkey restaurant on Mom B-day, so they’ll know what to order in the parents’ Umpteenth Honeymoon (no point for guessing where :P).
The main dish everybody looked forward to was the Typhoon Bloom. The last time any of us had an onions fried appetizer (with dip!) was American Chili’s (until they too it off the menu, damn!). I had this braised sirloin, which pretty much is the cow version of Secret Recipe’s lamb stew (wished I had taken the chicken instead but I was scared of bird flu :P). No B-day dinner was complete without dessert, so we all shared these two tasty white choc/black choc from Strudels (small, but cute! We preferred their cakes anyway).

Outback offered some of these bottomless drinks, but the term ‘bottomless’ seemed better applied to Bro-in-Law since he gulped 4 1/2 of ice lemon tea (the other one half was gulped by Sis). Mug after mug, the staff is sure going to remember this guy’s face for quite a while (the ‘Bottomless Guy’). Oh and btw, they don’t have ‘Toilet’ sign on their doors. They have ‘Used-Beer Department’ signs.
After the dinner, we parted ways, as the KL veterans would be going back to their cars while the parents, schooling sibling and one football-head headed for KL Sentral parking lot. Sis stopped at every taxicab to ask if they go to KLCC even as we reached the Monorail. By now the roads of the Lantern Festival were back open (this is KL! They can’t keep the roads closed for more than 4 hours max!).
Signed: *Ophie, taking a minute to go to the ‘Used-Coca-cola Department’.
