Lunches at Outback Steakhouse

Outback Steakhouse (Wan Chai)
Since they launched their new set lunches, I have always wanted to try it.

I regret not going earlier because some of the choices previously there have been taken off because HK'ers just usually order steaks, burgers and not the fancy choices.

The choices they had before that I would have tried were:
-Crispy Chicken Sandwich (Boneless chicken breast, breaded and deep-fried to a golden
brown. Served with lettuce, tomato, chipotle mayonnaise and Aussie Fries.)
-Tilapia with Pure Lump Crab Meat (tilapia fish wtih crab meat topped sliced mushrooms, finished with a drizzle of light lemon butter Chablis sauce. Served with fresh seasonal mixed veggies.
-Toowoomba Chicken (Sauteed shrimp and button mushrooms tossed in a tomato
cream sauce and served over grilled chicken. Served with seasonal veggies.)
-Bacon Camembert Cheese Burger (Topped with Camembert cheese, bacon, caramelized onions, pickles, crispy mushrooms, chive aioli and Aussie Fries.)

I've never been to Toowoomba before but the Toowoomba chicken sounded good.

Since the menu has changed, it made my decision easier because all those lovely choices were gone and the spicy shrimp rice was the only one I wanted to try, the rest were baby back ribs, burgers and stuff that you would normally order.

Soup and salad:

The soup was cold because there were so many bowls of soup on the table ready to be served when people ordered.

Bushman's bread:

The bread was lovely and warm with a strong sugary taste just like black sugar bread paired with the delicious buttery sweet cream.

Spicy prawn rice:

The rice was a bit soft and mushy but it was flavoured with lots of spices such as cayenne pepper and paprika.
On top of the rice there were lots of deep fried julienne sweet potatoes which were very crunchy but a bit dry.

Tea:

The tea was horrible because I hate Ceylon tea (basically Hong Kong style milk tea) which is bitter and it was served with coffee creamer.

The food came very slow on this visit and some of it was quite cold too.
