I didn't literally visit the restaurant but had tried their food during the SFF 2012 at Waterfront Promenade @ Marina Bay.Among the delectable creations is their Chilli Crab & Creamy Butter Crab (made from secret ingredients) that is well-received by tourists and local.

Specially created by Seafood Paradise for SFF - Seafood Platter @ $36.90. With a Choice of

Chilli CrabCreamy Butter CrabBoth seafood platter consists of chilli/creamy butter crab, stri fried geoduck with asparagus in xo sauce, crisp-fried prawns tossed with salted egg yolk, deep fried coral trout cooked in Nyonya-style, and a seafood fried rice.

Since this is the highlight of the dish, we decided to try the Creamy Butter Crab @ $36.90I adore the lip smackingly flavorful sauce. Its very unique, mildly sweet, with nice fragrant of curry leave, pepper, and chilli spicing up the milky gravy. But I didn't had the crab because they didn't break the shell properly.

The crispy thin crust prawns dredged in salted egg yolk was awesome, its like wrapping the prawn in a whole salted egg yolk!

I loves the Geoduck with asparagus in xo sauce. Nice fragrant of dried shrimps and chilli. A tad spicy to me, but I think most people will find it very spicy. A very appetizing dish, wish they had give a bigger portion.

Deep fried coral trout was a tad dry and overcooked. But the sauce was tasty with a combination of spicy, sweet and tangy flavours.

Seafood fried rice has scallops and shrimp topped with shrimp roe was fragrant.

Innovative combination that will tickle the taste buds! MUST TRY!

- The Shop
The Australian themed steakhouse restaurant exudes a casual ambience and contemporary decor. The warm lighting, wooden furniture and bar setting goes perfectly with its casual, laid-back appeal.

Best known for its generous portions of just right steaks, chicken and seafood, Outback also offers an assortment of crisp salads and freshly made soups and sides.

- The Food
Cherry LimeadeThe sweet maraschino cherries and tart limes mixed with grenadine and Sprite was sweet and tangy. The refreshing drink guaranteed to tickle the taste buds with its limey- sweet flavor. I simply love it!

Boston BreadThe freshly baked honey wholemeal Boston bread was addictive! The thin chewy crusted bread was light and pillow-soft on the inside. Can't decide if I should have the fluffy and lightly sweetened bread on its own or slathered with their slightly salted homemade butter. I like that nice buttery fragrance!

Ahi Tuna Chopped SaladNot only it is loaded with healthy veggies, the dressing adds quite a punch of flavor in the wasabi vinaigrette. Topped with crispy wonton strips and savory pan-seared sashimi-style tuna coasted with black pepper. So light and refreshing.

Alice Springs Chicken QuesadilaThe soft and chewy thin grilled tortilla layered with zesty grilled chicken breast sauteed with mushrooms and bacon are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. The great flavor and texture is so good on its own that you can forget about the honey mustard sauce.

Seafood PastaThe fettuccine was nicely cook. Shrimp, calamari and fish fillet was succulent. Definitely a good choice for non meat-lovers.

Ribs and Alice Springs Chicken
The rack of pork ribs was tender that it fall off the bone easily, wish it was juicier. Paired with grilled chicken breast topped with bacon, honey mustard sauce and sauteed mushrooms was tender but a tad salty.

Outback Special (11oz)
Outback's signature sirloin seasoned with bold spices was on the tough side for me. This could be the sirloin has a thicker cut compare to ribeye and it was prepared medium done. Personally I prefer my steak medium rare.

RibeyeRibeye was tender, juicer and more savory compare to the Sirloin even it was prepared medium done too. It was seasoned and seared with Outback's secret 17 seasoning blend and chargrilled over an open flame. No wonder it was more flavourful.

Dessert Sampler TrioSampler three of the most popular desserts, Chocolate Thunder from Down Under, Cheesecake and Banana Nut Cake.

My favourite was the chocolate brownie with ice cream, and whipped cream. Brownie was fudgy and moist, what can go wrong with ice cream and anything chocolate?

- My Opinion
The staff at this warm and welcoming restaurant are attentive and friendly. If you are looking for a place where you can unwind with your favourite drink round off with a flavorful dinner, you might want to give Outback Steakhouse a shot.

LeBan in Chinese literally means "Happy Boss", which is at the core of what the cafe wants to achieve - dines to leave the cafe feeling like happy bosses!

They offer a wide range of Hongkong inspired food. The youthful ambience has a contemporary colour interior with walls painted in purple and white, red chairs and black tables and lights in rainbow colors plastic balls.- The Food
Crispy Butter Bun with Condensed Milk @ $4.00LeBan used toasted buns (Man Tuo 馒头) instead of the usual thick french toast slathered in butter and sweetened milk. It tasted good with the gooey centre when its warm. Don't leave it to cool, unless you prefer a rough bun.

Savoury French Toast Bites with Ice Cream @ $4.90Oh, drool at the sweet and hearty toast bites! The deep fried breaded cubes was light and airy. I think it was drizzle with some honey/maple syrup and served with a scoop of new zealand natural ice cream (choice of Choc Fudge Brownie, Cookies & Cream, Vanilla Classic, Green Tea, Boysenberry Dream, Mango Sorbet, Strawberry Surprise). Mmmm, so simple and lovely.

Seafood Baked Rice in Cream Sauce @ $9.80
A succulent mix of seafood in cream sauce baked with rice and cheese was lacking in flavours. I felt the seafood and rice did not adsorbs the cream sauce flavours, maybe this was because the cream sauce was too little.

The baked rice is available in tomato and creamy base.

Chili Cheese Fries @ $6.50
Not your ordinary cheese fries. Leban's chilli cheese fries is topped with Chef's special chili, oven baked with cheese.

Honestly I am overdosed with all the creamy and salted egg dishes at Irivin's therefore I must admit that I do not enjoy this cheesy fries as much.

Potato with Corned Beef Hash & Egg @ $5.50Cube potatos fried with corned beef & egg was a tad salty.

Sizzling Crispy Noodles with Jumbo Prawns @ $8.50Crispy noodles with prawns served on hot plate was less flavorsome. Personally, I felt the tomato was too overpowering for me. Having said that, everyone has their own prerogative and preference, its definitely not awful as Melissa finished the whole serving by herself!

The Sun Fried Ice Cream @ $4.00Fried breaded ice cream topped with chocolate rice. Hot on the outside, cold on the inside. An awesome combination.

With a variety of ice cream flavours to choose from - Vanilla, Cookies & Cream, Green Tea, Choc Fudge Brownie.

Affagato @ $4.80The vanilla ice cream drowned in freshly brew espresso was simply divine! The sweetness of the coffee was just right and paired so well with the ice cream. This is a MUST TRY!

The restaurant serves Madam Tan's Nasi Lemak and bistro classics with bold Singaporean hawker flavours. She is consistently creating new local dishes with a modern twist and is inspire to keep the local hawker flavours going.There are beers, wines and signature desserts too.

- The Food
Nasi Lemak Crispy Chicken Sets @ $7.90To be honest, I was a little disappointed when the dish arrive. I don't fancy fried chunky chicken as they are tough in most places and I assumed this will be no different. BUT I was wrong! The crispness of the skin has a unique blend of spices and yet the meat is VERY tender.

The coleslaw has a refreshing mix of crunchy shredded cabbage & carrots in a tangey Asian-inspired dressing of lime juice.

If you are a chilli lover, the sambal belachan is addictive! It arouse my appetite even I just had 3 cakes & 1 tart for dessert at FLOR with Maureen of Miss Tiam Chiak! Shiok ah! Fear not if you can't take spicy, the sambal tumis is milder.

Nasi Lemak Curry Chicken Sets @ $8.90

The curry chicken is just as tender. But I felt the curry taste is not strong enough as I am a super CHILLI lover. However, I do think the taste is just right for most Singaporean

The rice has a different texture from the common Nasi Lemark, unique flavour and the grains are beautifully separated. Surprisingly it's Jasmine long grain and not basmati. Madam Tan sure know how to cook.

Homemade Chin Chow @ $2.50
The chin chow is homemade with honey added. It's pretty good but too sweet for me.

- My Opinion
If you're famished and love Nasi Lemak, you MUST come to this place! I can't wait to go back to try Madam Tan's new creation.

Oh, did I mention that they don't charge GST & Svs Charge too?
