I know, this post is a bit late but I didn’t have time to load the photos (and trust me, I’ve got LOADS of photos) until now.
Anyway, Thanksgiving is very much an American tradition so over here in Malaysia, we don’t really celebrate it or even know much about it. Still, some establishments seemed to get into the whole Thanksgiving spirit and so, I got invited to a Thanksgiving lunch at The Brasserie at Traders Hotel.
Let’s just say I was extremely inspired by Jessie, The Hungry Mouse and her many creative ribs recipe that I wanted to try out some of my own. Since I simply love chocolate in anything (cookies, cakes, snacks, sandwiches, even as it is), why not try it with ribs?
So, I took the plunge and tried it out and this is the result…
Grilled chocolate sesame pork ribs
It was juicy, rich with a tinge of sweetness and the sesame definitely gave it a special flavour. Something you’d like to get your hands dirty as you pick on . . . → Read More: Chocolate and pork ribs is not so weird after all
I’ve been meaning to learn to make our own hamburgers so that we do not need to eat those store-bought frozen hamburgers which are oily and full of MSG. Considering hamburgers merely consist of ground meat, how hard can it be right?
Besides, The Food Critic is really crazy about hamburgers. Every time we go to the grocery store, he simply must stop at the frozen food and pick out a packet of hamburgers. A few times when we do eat out, he’d insist on choosing an American restaurant like TGIF serving good burgers (nope, it is definitely not . . . → Read More: Homemade herbed hamburgers, two ways to eat it
For Penangites who frequently eat in Pulau Tikus area, I am sure they would have heard about Top Top Restaurant which used to be at a shop along the main road of Burmah Road.I remember it used to be quite swanky (at least by my student days standard) and eating there was considered a luxury. The food is also quite good.
That was quite a long time ago and then one day, they closed down. I didn’t know what happened to them until in recent years, I heard that they are operating out of their home in the same . . . → Read More: Dinner at a restaurant inside a house
I have been reading too many of Jessie’s (The Hungry Mouse) meaty posts and finally, I gave in and tried one of her pork ribs recipe.
Except that I didn’t follow the recipe.
Again.
I just borrowed her recipe and substituted some of the stuff…okay, okay, so I practically added a whole lot of different ingredients except for the pork ribs…so, it is definitely different from her recipe. But still, I do owe it to her as I got the idea for this recipe from her Aleppo Chili Pork Ribs with Peach and Lime Recipe.
Although the Malaysian-German Society (MGS) here has been celebrating Octoberfest for years now, I had never actually made a point to go to it. Somehow I’d either miss it, forget about it or simply did not have the time to go for it.
So, this year, it is my first time I finally managed to go for the German celebration last night which is complete with loads of beer, naturally. Though I have really stopped drinking beer for years (and move on to wines occasionally), I remember loving the smoothness of German beer way back . . . → Read More: Eat, drink and be merry over at Octoberfest
We have not been to Eden Restaurant in Hutton Lane for years already. Not after one bad incident where the food were absolutely horrid and we decided not to go back there.
Anyway, to celebrate my husband’s birthday recently, we went back there to try out their set lunch. Hey, they have this September promotion where the birthday boy/girl gets to eat for free (provided that you spend over RM50 and they only give free set lunch – the cheapest one, that is).
