Zomato | Outback Steakhouse | BB Park
it is a great honour to finally be part of the Zomato team. and , i was able to join their Zomato meetup for the very first time, just after a few days of membership. thank you very much Hafiezah for having me..:)
so what is Zomato all about? Zomato is a food and restaurant finder medium, also acts an a platform gathering all foodie lovers together to share their dining experiences. all members of Zomato are eligible to input anything into the platform from location of the dining place to food comment.
the interesting part of Zomato is that it also allows food review directly from your blogs. with this, it helps boosting blog traffics, definitely a plus point for us bloggers!!! not only that, to make our Zomato experience even better, Zomato will have foodie meetup to allow the members to have real experience written as food review to share on Zomato, how generous is that!!!..:D
so my very first Zomato meetup was held at Outback Steakhouse, BB Park, Bukit Bintang. a very strategic and very happening spot in the city center of Kuala Lumpur. i would say this is one very nice, and my dining experience here was terrific.
read further to find out how awesome it was *wink*..:)
Outback Steakhouse is an Australian-themed American casual dining restaurant chain, serving American cuisine. thus, they have the settings of the classic American, feeling as though you have gone back to the Cowboy century. they have a pretty beautiful bar standing in the middle of the restaurant.
upon entering into the dining area, you will definitely notice racks with different kinds of spices being displayed. Outback Steakhouse makes its own secret recipe sauces using all these spices, daily with strict QA&QC.
Minted Lemonade Chill
this is categorized as free spirit cocktail, a frosty blend of fresh mint and house-made lemonade. this is one cup of very refreshing drink.
Strawberry Smoothie
this may not be a good choice if you are intended to feast a lot, because the smoothie is really thick your tummy may get filled up really quickly. but no doubt it tastes really good!!! so good that one of our Zomato diner had two cups of these but in the end she barely get to each much.
Tomato and Mozzarella Bruschetta | RM24.95
grilled French bread topped with oven roasted tomatoes, fresh Mozzarella and basil pesto
Mozzarella cheese is like one of my favourite cheese. laying on top of the hot French bread melts the cheese and getting a bit together with the juicy tomatoes is like getting the best of both worlds. and i love this plate comes with arugula drizzled with olive oil. the mild minty flavour from the arugula does paired nicely with the bruschetta.
Outback Tostada Nachos | RM27.95
crispy corn tortillas layered with a spicy corn infused chili. topped with cheeses, jalapenos, fresh pico de gallo, sour cream and garnished with chopped green onions
the nachos were somewhat soggy probably because of the garnishes topped on them. but i must say the pico de gallo really brings out the flavour of the nacho, plus the sourness helps to promote appetite too. this is a one big slice of nacho so you might wanna think twice before going for another one.
Farmer's Fresh Strawberry Salad | RM32.95
seasoned and grilled shrimp atop spring mix salad tossed with strawberries, orange segments, cucumbers and a spiced orange vinaigrette. sprinkled with goat cheese and toasted almonds
so now you know why it is called the farmer's salad. whole loads of greens and fruits!!! fruits are of the zesty type to bring out the refreshing taste. first thought, the salad was a bit ordinary, but i decided to take back my words after drizzling the orange vinaigrette onto it *LOL*. and not forgetting the juicy shrimps.
Brick Chicken | RM27.95
a thick chicken breast seasoned and hand-pressed for a juicy flavor and crispy texture. topped with a savory lemon garlic sauce and served with mashed potatoes and fire grilled broccoli
the chicken was quite thin i could not tell if it is really hand-pressed or they actually cut it this thin. anyway, thumb up for the perfectly cooked chicken, really juicy and tender i must say. the sauce on the other hand was just so-so for me, as i could not quite taste the lemon nor the garlic. but i do love how they actually mash up the potatoes together with the skins.
[New] Sweet Chili Chicken and Shrimp | RM34.95
fire grilled chicken and shrimp glazed with sweet chili sauce. served with sides and rice.
adding rice into the meal is definitely a dish to cater the Malaysians' taste buds. i could not find a match between the chili sauce and the rice. and even dipping the meat into the sauce still tastes a little too ordinary for me. the side dish was merely boiled vegetables. aside from these, i would still give a thumb up for the juicy chicken and shrimp.
[New] Seafood Mixed Platter | RM59.95
a boneless salmon fillet paired with seasoned and seared shrimp and scallops on a bed of fresh diced mango salsa. served with sides.
i totally fell in love with the beautifully and perfectly grilled salmon. the texture of the salmon was just perfecto!!!, and getting a bit of it was another perfecto!!! this is the third dish with shrimps but just could not get enough of those juiciness. the sweet and sour from the mango salsa paired nicely with the shrimps and salmon.
[New] Black Peppercorn Crusted Ribeye | RM59.95 (8.oz) & RM69.95 (10.oz)
seared peppercorn crusted ribeye accompanied with peppercorn cream sauce. served with grilled asparagus, loaded baked potato and balsamic drizzle
the ribeye was cooked in medium rare for us, maybe a bit too raw but totally fine for me. the balsamic vinegar in the balsamic sauce helps to flavour the meat since you would not be getting much taste from the slightly raw meat. thus, medium rare is definitely the best choice in this case. not to forget the really yummy baked potato which tastes really awesome with the sour cream sauce. and yes, skinned potato is the best!!!
Chocolate Thunder from Down Under | RM21.95
an extra generous pecan brownie is topped with rich vanilla ice cream, drizzled with our warm chocolate sauce and finished with chocolate shavings and whipped cream.
this is a dessert from heaven. the hot brownie sitting below melts the vanilla ice-cream, allowing the brownie to absorb some of the melted ice-cream, and they taste awesome. very guilty dessert with the fluffy whipped cream along, but who cares. scoop everything in one bite and you will be in heaven.
this was indeed a pleasuring and satisfying dinner. all the food was so good they leave me with no word to describe how good they are. thank you Zomato for this amazing dining experience. i hope to be able to join more of such fantastic dining in the future.
