Eat Out - Big Boy BBQ

Day 620

Ribs, ribs, ribs...I can have you for breakfast, lunch and dinner if you are saucy, tender and yummilicious. Sadly, I haven't been able to find them anymore. The standard at Meat & Wine has dropped drastically (it's no longer my fave), the ones at Squires Loft and City Grill Room failed to impress and the ones at TGIF's are too dry. My search for yummilicious ribs led me to Big Boy BBQ. Sadly, it didn't make the cut either.

Tonight's menu

Pulled lamb shoulder burger

BBQ chicken wings

1/2 rack BBQ pork ribs

Onion rings

Coleslaw

Garden salad

The good: BBQ chicken wings and onion rings
Chicken wings were flavouful, tender and juicy. Onion rings weren't as good as the ones at Meat & Wine but they weren't oily and very addictive! 

The ok: BBQ pork ribs and garden salad
Some of the ribs were burnt and the meat was dry and tough. But other than these burnt parts, the rest were ok so it's abit of hit and miss. For $29, I was expecting something better. Nothing special about the garden salad but it's a good side to have while I dig into the meat pile.

The bad: Pulled lamb shoulder burger and coleslaw
Mr Tan had the lamb burger and didn't like it. The coleslaw was too sour for our liking and it was pretty much untouched after our first bite.

Saucy, smokey, yummilicious ribs...I want YOU! WHERE ARE YOU??

Relaxing long weekend

Day 613 - 615

No planned routes, no planned destinations, no planned itinerary.
Just drive and stop as and when we feel like it. 
随性一点儿，跟着感觉走。。。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Wonderwoman!

Day 613

Happy Birthday to my Wonderwoman...

who always imagines the impossible and makes it possible, 

who always dreams big and makes it even bigger, 

who always hopes for the best and makes it THE best, 

who always gives her greatest love to everyone around her.

I miss you, Wonderwoman!

Love, your sidekick

Eat Out - Red Petite

Day 607

I broke Gin's Book of Records today. I slept for a total of 12 hours! Slept at 4am on 31 March and woke up at 4pm on 1 April. I am THE Sleeping Queen. How I wish sleeping can help to burn lots of calories, then I won't have to work so hard at the gym. Fat hope I know. Hahahaha. But I do think that sleeping can be useful when dieting because when I sleep, I don't snack and I don't feel hungry. Take today for example, I woke up at 4pm and the only meal I ate was dinner. Yeah! We had an early dinner as Mr Tan's stomach was growling again. (He had lunch btw!) His stomach screams for food almost every 2 hours. We decided to try this small Thai restaurant, Red Petite, that we drove past yesterday. Bad choice. 

Got there around 630 and we were their first customers. Most of the tables had the "reserved" sign on them and as we settled down, diners started to full up the small place and that's when the first sign of bad choice appeared. All angmohs, we were the only Asians. 

Tonight's menu

Tom Yum Goong

Red curry prawns with noodles

Claypot prawns

Tom Yum Goong was not spicy enough and we didn't find the taste to be very authentic. Disappointing.

Mr Tan thought he had ordered red curry chicken with rice so when red curry prawns with noodles arrived, we were both taken aback. Either he had pointed to the wrong dish when ordering or the waiter got it wrong. Bad choice. Too much coconut milk, not enough flavour and wrong meat!

My claypot prawns was probably the best dish. Reminded me of the Claypot glass noodle with soft shell crab in black pepper from Thai Express. *drool* But I would prefer more black pepper to spice things up.

Verdict: Small portions, pricey, not authentic, never going back.
