Chicago Rib House @ Gurney Plaza, Penang
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the soup of the day was Chicken Noodle soup. it's one of those soups where u have them when u were a kid and when u were sick. i'm not that into clear soups, so mum tried it. she said it was quite nice. not that salty and not that sour, just nice.
then came to the appetizers - Potato Skin, not sure why it was on the house but i'm glad that it was! and it was lovely too!! lovely touch to the potato and it goes well with the sour cream which was very light. good way to start the tummy for the good stuff! the veg too was very fresh and crispy - i like!
we KNEW portions were huge, so we just ordered one dish - their famous Combo meals. their Combo meals are Pork Ribs + (lamb or chicken or fish or steak) same as Beef Ribs + (lamb, or chicken or fish or pork...etc) not too sure the exact combination of what they have...
anyway, what we got was Pork Ribs with lamb. my oh my... the pork just fell off from the bone, it was succulant, juicy, fresh and the lamb as well!! luckily they gave 2 lamb chops - if not there'll be a mother and daughter fight! LOL. this dish came with 3 types of sauces - Honey BBQ, Spicey BBQ and i think Smoked Original BBQ (or something like that)... i was too busy enjoying my meal to remember the names of the sauces! i still haven't found my fav sauce!! it goes well with EVERYTHING!!! i kid you not! you just have to go and try it for yourself.
are you still there? or are you on your way to Chicago now? hahahhaha....
now, as for desserts, i would have ordered their famous shot-glass mini desserts, but i wanted to try their new desserts in the menu. now if you like carrot cake - this one is quite nice. it didn't come with the usual cream cheese topping, but a sugary paste/sauce like topping. the cake itself is not sweet and if u want abit of sweetness, u can eat it with the sugary topping, if not just scrape it off. the cake is full of carrots and stuffs (like nuts, raisins...etc) and i thought it was something new which was good, other than the normal choc molten cake, cheese cake and such...
so, convinced yet? hahaha well if you do decide to try them out, make sure u go with a few people, so that you can share a plate or two and share the bill as well, unless you are a big eater and doesn't like to share.. hahaha... whatever your fancy is, do have a try. u'll be wanting for more... i'm just waiting for another excuse to go there again - who's birthday coming? :P
(ooh ooh.. and i heard they'll be opening another outlet at the Marina Park, near the Jetty... don't tell anyone you heard it from here ok?)

You know, after seeing the pics in your blog about chicago ribhouse in May, i made i made it a point to go to the one in gurney.It turned out to be the wrong one- it was chicago ripoff! The black fish was very salty i couldn't finish it and the ribs were hopeless, so little meat!! That will be the first and last time i will be going there ever!!Service wasn't top notch too and they weren't even busy at that time.
oh well... as the saying goes "new broom sweeps well".. so i guess it was better when they first opened and it was downhill from then on...
i too noticed that the ribs were "skinny" and i did say the black fish was salty.. so yeah....
though i still love the salads though
