Ribs by Vintry



We are huge HUGE fans of the Barbarian Ribs at Ribs by Vintry. One portion of this, which comprises of a 5-rib rack, mash potato and coleslaw, is enough to satisfy us both. The ribs are succulent, and well-marinated in its barbeque sauce. The slightly charred bits at the sides and citrus zest on the ribs lends it its wonderful aroma and flavour.

We usually complete the meal with either garlic bread or creamy mushroom soup served with warm toasted bread, and a garden salad served with the most wonderful tangy balsamic dressing. All these below RM100 - very reasonable indeed.

And one more thing, you've got to be prepared to eat like a man - a barbaric man, to be exact!

We don't cook pork at home, out of respect for the domestic helper and her beliefs, so we really enjoy the chance to eat out in the weekends, where we get to satisfy our cravings for anything porky. :)

that is big for pork ribs!! *drool*
i'm so bad at remembering the no pork policy in your household, though yesterday i thought of that when i made oven-baked pancakes that involved bacon.
remind me to give you all those pork related recipes in april!

Kikare, when one day, you should appear in my part of the world, I must bring you here. You'll love it! The ribs I mean. hehe! yes, April. Hahah!

Doc, you can't think that way. Isn't this the whole point of the gym session? So I could indulge without the guilt!

That reminds me once Sandra and I were dining with a German. We ordered that err..Barbarian Ribs? (did not know it's the name then, very ignorant leh). We were struggling through the night with that huge ribs with knife, fork, spoon, whatever available. It just did not satisfy us!

After the dinner, Sandra said in Foochow (sure German can't understand), next time, don't order that ribs while dining with a gentleman. We come together another day when we forget about the utensils, use our hands! LOL!

Tuti, good person you. :)

Sahm, VERY!

Yan, I can see why you weren't satisfied. You could use the fork and knife for the first few bites, but when it comes to the meat that's sticking to the bones, i.e. the best parts, you've got to use the fingers! No matter, we need to schedule a dinner here the next time you are in town! And ask Sandra to come along too! ;)
