Deep fried Mars Bar @ Chippy, Raffles City shopping centre

This has to be the ULTIMATE comfort food!!!!



Super unhealthy? Four small pieces of Mars Bar - choc with caremel inside, deep fried! Crunchy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside! Top it with vanilla ice cream AND chocolate syrup!

Baby back pork ribs @ Tony Romas

One of the places i had to eat at when in S'pore recently was Tony Romas. Now some may ask why go there when we have so many TR outlets here in M'sia, the prices being cheaper compared to the higher exchange rate across the causeway.

The reason is simple - PORK!

The local TR outlets do not serve pork! And TR is famous for its pork ribs. I love pork ribs. I love pork! The best pork ribs i've had was at some restaurant at near the border of Austria and Germany at Fusen. It was huge, tender and so delicous! But i digress.

So off i went to the TR at Suntec City. I was early to beat the dinner crowd and also, i had a concert to go to after dinner.

No hessitation - i went for the Original Baby Back Ribs. I went for the smallest portion - so that the hole burnt in me wallet is just as small!



It came with jacket potatoes and corn. The jacket potatoes were wonderful! It must be the bacon bits! It's exactly like how the jacket potatoes taste like in the UK. Lovely! The corn was really juicy and sweet. I left it to the end so it was almost like a dessert.



OK - the ribs. It was good! The portion was small compared to the one i had in Germany. The meat was tendr and came off the bone easily. The sauce was a little on the sweet side but there wasn't too much of it to overpower the ribs.

It was a satisfying meal! I topped it off with a cup of coffee.

The service was pretty good too - nice sweet waitresses. Only complaint? They stole S$0.50 from me!!!! After paying the bill, they brought back the bill wallet with my change and i left it there until i was ready to go. I opened it and found only the bill! No change!!!! Oh well...
