Dinner @ Chicago Ribs

We went to Chicago Ribs for dinner that evening. Unlike the other rib houses, this one was served pork. The outlet we went to was at Cheras Leisure Mall. It was a full house at dinner time ... and we waited some 10 minutes for a vacant table.

Now, the menu was quite fun to peruse ....

Look at the menu cover! Full of puns and fun expressions! Lol ...

Well, I must say that I liked the food here ....

Beach Fiesta (RM12.90) on the left, and Peach Melba on the right

Beach fiesta was a concoction of cranberry, lychee and lemon ... it was rather refreshing a drink which I enjoyed. Peach Melba, though, tasted like cough syrup. Peach Melba was on the house because we redeemed it with some vouchers that we got from our previous visit. 

Trio sampler  (RM33.90)

There were three items on the platter, namely Buffalo Wings, Potato Skins, and Pork Chilli Con Carne served with Ranch Dressing. I liked two out of the three items. The potato skins, to me, were tasty. They were crispy, and covered with cheese, chives and bacon bits. I had it with lots of rich Ranch dressing .... and yums .... it was really divine. I also enjoyed the Pork Chilli, which was spicy and full of flavour. Yums.

Next was Chicago's Famous Pork Pizza ... 

Chicago's Famous Pork Pizza 

I loved the crust. Though it was not that thin, it was crispy. The topping was simply pork, Italian cheese, and herbs.  The pizza was rather enjoyable! 

We ordered 2 portions of ribs ... 

Half rack of Original BBQ ribs with beer battered fries and mashed potatoes, RM33.90

The meat was succulent and fell off the bone with just a prick; The sauce was thick, tangy, smokey with a hint of tomato too. Quite tasty indeed. But the two types of potatoes were not to be missed. The beer-battered fries, especially, were superbly crispy on the outside, airy and light inside. The mashed potatoes were rich and buttery, and flavoured with bits of bacon.  I would give thes two potato dishes a two thumbs up.

 Half Rack of Flaming Kansas City Ribs with .... 

 Coleslaw and Fresh Vegetables 

Of the two types of ribs we ordered, I definitely preferred the Flaming Kansas City. It was served en flambe with a shot of whiskey at the table. How cool is that! The ribs were also tender, and was more savoury in taste, compared to the Original BBQ version. I loved it! The coleslaw and fresh vegetables were also delicious. 

All in all, we paid RM177.95 for our meal. Worth it? Hmn .... you decide.
