Hickory Barbecue Sauce Pork Ribs with honey – Simple Recipe

I love the taste of succulent and tender roast ribs. Many years ago, when my company sent me to Erie, Pennsylvania for 2 weeks, I had a great time eating bbq baby back ribs in the hotel I was residing in! Since there was not much things to do after training, I had plenty of time to slowly enjoy the tender barbecued ribs. It took me around 45 minutes to finish the whole rack! LOL! Recently, I chanced upon some nice ribs cut and decided to roast it using hickory barbecue sauce. Nothing beats the smell of freshly barbecued hickory sauce ribs!

Ingredients
Ribs, One rack
Hickory Barbecue Sauce (HP)
Pepper, a dash
Honey, 1 tablespoon

Marinade the ribs overnight with the hickory barbecue sauce and pepper. Wrap the ribs with aluminium foil and roast it in the oven at 200 Dec C for 1 ½ hour. This is to make the ribs tender. If you are afraid that your TNB (Malaysian Electricity Board) bill might shoot up, then you can actually steam it over high heat first before going on to the next step. Open up the aluminium foil and glaze the ribs with honey and hickory barbecue sauce again. Continue roasting with the aluminium foil open for around 20 minutes. PS : The ribs would taste better if you use charcoal to barbecue it!

Aiya! Date at Tanjung Rambutan Cancelled!

Note : I passed through this place on 31st July 2010 and found that this restaurant is closed. A new one is operating at this location.

My Pre contract training group had earlier planned to have our ‘gila-gila’ (crazy) dinner and also farewell party for one of our hardworking branch staff at Restoran (restaurant) Tanjung Rambutan in Desa Aman Puri, Kepong. My business partner and I actually dropped by this all you can eat barbecue and steamboat restaurant a fortnight ago to evaluate the suitability of the place for our group dinner. We arrived there around 5.30pm, a little early; they have not finished setting up the steamboat buffet spread. Therefore I did not manage to snap any photo of the food the restaurant has to offer. Anyway, we found the place quite suitable to have our little 20 pax party. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to change our venue to Johnny’s steamboat in 1 Utama. Sigh, cannot go ‘gila-gila’ already! Ha ha ha! Sorry, no food review this time!

BBQ Sting Ray Recipe (Ikan Pari Tuka Bakar)

Last week, during my regular weekend trip to the Kepong wet market, I found my regular fish monger selling small stingrays which the local Malays called ‘Tuka’. Tuka is a species of sting ray that is smaller in size compared to other types of sting rays; normally they grow to the most about 1 foot in diameter. I bought three sting rays and the stall owner cleaned it for me. It is very important to remove the innards of the sting ray carefully. Otherwise, the juice from the sting rays’ liver which has strong urea smells will contaminate the flesh and you will not be able to get rid of the smell no matter what type of spices or marinade you use! I fired up some leftover charcoals that I have and let it turned into amber. I don’t want big fire that would burn my sting rays. Then I marinate the sting ray with some chilli powder, salt, sugar, coriander and cumin. I barbecue the sting rays for around 30 minutes until golden brown. Then I served them with some chilli padi (bird eye chili) in light soya sauce and lemon juice. Well, my son loves it very much! Ingredients Sting Rays cut Chilli powder, 1 table spoon Cumin powder (jintan manis), ½ teaspoon Serbuk Ketumbar (Coriander powder), ½ teaspoon Lemon juice, 1 table spoon Salt and sugar to taste Dipping sauce mix Bird Eye Chilli (Chilli Padi), 5pcs, cut into small pieces Light Soya Sauce, 3 table spoon Lemon juice, 2 table spoons Related post on Sting Ray 1) http://peteformation.blogspot.com/2009/01/fried-stingray-recipe.html 2) http://peteformation.blogspot.com/2009/06/chili-dried-salted-sting-ray-with.html

Barbecue Galore!

Hot hot hot yummy lamb shoulder!

My kids love barbecued food and they would often bug me to prepare this type of food for them. The charcoal fire smell on barbecued food tastes delicious. Luckily, I did not ask my renovation contractor to cement the garden behind my house. At least there is a green patch left in my house, which is suitable for me to carry out my barbecuing activities! Here is some of the food stuff that we barbecued that day! Barbecued lamb often tastes good and you really can’t go wrong with the marinade. I marinated this lamb shoulder with turmeric, pepper, lemon, corn flour, salt and sugar. Then I barbecued them using slow charcoal fire. My kids finished all the lamb shoulder as soon as I cooked them!

Yummy and spicy chicken!

I took a piece of chicken thigh from my freezer and marinated it with chilli, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, sugar and lemon. Then I barbecued it using the slow charcoal fire until the skin turned crispy. My kids love the taste very much. While I was busy barbecuing away, only the chicken bones were left, so I did not get to try it!

Then I marinated some pork belly with five spice powder, pepper, salt and sugar. The burned pork fat leaves some nice aroma, sweetness and taste on the meat. I squeezed some lime juice on it after barbecuing for added flavors! I have also marinated some prawns in lime juice, pepper, a little salt and sugar. My kids don’t take whole prawns, so this dish is all for daddy! Ha ha ha......yummy prawns!

Restoran Makanan Laut Ipoh Garden, Roast Chicken, Duck, Pork and Liver Combination, Char Siew

I was in Ipoh recently with my family and we had lunch at Ipoh Garden. We decided to go for something simple and quick. Ipoh Garden Seafood Restaurant is located on the main road of Jln Lau Pak Khuan, next to Shell petrol station. The dish that we ordered were roast chicken, roast duck, roast pork, char siew, roast meat with liver combination and a big bowl of radish soup. Roast chicken and roast duck tasted quite normal but the roast meat with liver combination is quite special. I don’t take liver but after trying it out, I found this dish is quite tasty. The roast pork is good and the skin is crispy. My kids love the char siew and they ate their rice with the gravy provided. The radish soup with dry cuttle fish is full of natural sweetness and the portion is big, enough for 2 helpings for each person. All in plus rice (very big portion) for 7 persons, the total bill came up to be RM35. This is including the soup which cost only RM5. Very reasonable place to have a family meal!
