The Meat & Wine Co

One fine Saturday, I took mum out to The Meat & Wine Co for lunch.

We were quite early that day, basically went in right after it opened, so it was quite empty as expected.  But there were already two pairs of people there.  Wow, and I thought we were early walking in before 12pm.

We were seated on the far side of the restaurant, where the beads were.  I just could't resist taking a photo of the beads decor. ^_^

Since we were also going to have dinner out at a Chinese restaurant that day, we decided to go light for lunch and just share one full rack pork ribs between the two of us.  So once we ordered, we were supplied with usual tools for having ribs - paper aprons and a small bowl of water for washing our fingers.

Ah! Here comes our pork ribs.  God I love this.  I must say that it was a little difficult or next to impossible to eat this and show good table manners at the same time, but really, when you see this in front of you, you'd just through all thinking of table manners away.

The ribs was absolutely delicious.  The glaze was tasty, the meat was moist.  Oh and those chips.  I love those chips.  Nice and crispy, and well seasoned.  Gotta love this place just for this dish.

Oh I love Pork Ribs

This week's weekend lunch place is The Meat & Wine Co.  My plan was to not eat too much main meal, and go for the grand dessert.

I wasn't going to get an entree at first, but then, I always love a good Beef Carpaccio, so, couldn't resist.   The beef was very tender and nice, but both me and mum thinks that perhaps that should be a bit more sauce and lemon juice.

For main, we had the full rack Pork Ribs, one of mum's favourite.  I wasn't going to eat much, since I was preparing for dessert, and I always kind of thought it's too much effort to eat ribs.  Not a lot of meat, but you get your hands all dirty.  But since I wasn't going to order a main for myself, I tried a bit. After all, I can't really just have dessert.  BUT!  I now realise how wrong I had been.  IT IS FANTASTIC!  I absolutely fell in love with the Pork Ribs!  Ah, how stupid have I been all these years... And as always, the chips are the best.

Here comes the "main" of the meal, the dessert.  The Grand Finale, which consists of a vanilla creme brûlée, a chocolate and pistachio fondante with vanilla ice-cream, a caramel and chocolate tart, and a white chocolate panna cotta.  Grand, isn't it?

As a side note, I also order a mocktail, called Evergreen.  I didn't go for a cocktail, since I had to drive.

Taste kind of refreshing, but a bit sweet, and definitely too much ice.......
