Backdated entry - In memory of Uluru Aussie Bar & Steakhouse

We heard about Uluru during our quest for good steaks and after desperate attempts to find its entrance (We are both not navigation experts), Gracie and I arrived hungry at Uluru. After our unforgettable experience with tomato soup at Bedrock, we figured that Pumpkin Soup would be a much safer choice. Indeed, it was delightfully light and fragrant. It's more liquid in its consistency and quite different from those thick pumpkin soup out there and I remembered there to be some crushed nuts in it.

Pumpkin Soup

As usual, we two hungry women can't resist the temptation of seafood platter on the menu. It turned out to be a great disappointment. At ~$20 for the seafood platter, the items tasted frozen and oily. The fish and calamari were tasteless and oily, chicken wings do not leave any impression and fries seems to be the only decent item in the platter. And, please don't ask me what is the chicken doing in a seafood platter.. They might have listed it as a sampler platter on the menu, my mind seems to have blocked the information due to the oily experience i had.

We ordered the ribeye steak, mine medium rare and Gracie's medium. It came with mashed potatos and some greens at the side and of course, the presentation has been creatively enhanced by me for phototaking. The ribeye smells nicely and tasty at first bite, texture of steak was decent and has a nice char to it. However halfway through we were both getting abit sick of the oiliness and the greens didn't help much.

Nicely arranged ribeye steak
Overall, the only redeeming thing that Uluru has is its pumpkin soup. We left the place feeling saturated in fats and burping oil... While keying in this entry, I found out that Uluru has actually closed down. Well, R.I.P... Uluru....
