Hello Unregistered,

275 Thomson Road, 01-07 Novena Ville, Tel: 6255-2838 Open: 11.30am to 10.30pm

This cosy restaurant opposite Novena church is actually a steak and seafood restaurant but it serves up yummy BBQ pork spare ribs ($12.50).

The ribs are boiled with herbs like rosemary, five spice powder and other ingredients till they are half-cooked to absorb all the various flavours.

Just before they go into the oven, coarsely ground pepper is sprinkled evenly over the slabs of ribs which weigh 300g to 400g each. This gives them a nice spicy kick.

While in the oven, the meat is constantly basted with a homemade spicy barbecue sauce to keep it moist and to let the flavour soak in bit by bit.

To make the sauce, dry chilli is fried without any oil till it turns blackish. It is then blended and mixed with tomato paste, chilli sauce and other ingredients.

The meat, which simply melts in the mouth, is specially imported from France for its leaner cuts that do not have any off-putting porky smell.

The raisin apple salad served on the side is a refreshing change from the usual coleslaw.

The eatery boasts a Hainanese touch as most of its chefs, who are in their 60s, are Hainanese.
