rong cheng bakuteh

sent my car to amazing glaze at sin min autocare for some treatment this morning on 20.1.2015.

decided to walk over to rong cheng 榕城 bakuteh at sin min road. i have not here here for many years liao. had been a regular previously. ^^

the ribs are a bit softer as it was past 2pm. but i still liked it. ^^

for me, this is very much a personal taste & preference. many people prefer very soft ribs, the meat falling off the bone. so they may find rong cheng ribs a bit tough. for me, i prefer a texture where the meat is tender but there is bite & bounce, and for me i always find that the meat is sweeter when it is not soft & overcooked.

it is though very easy to do bakuteh at home, and i can get the fatter & more tasty indonesian prime ribs from sheng shiong. the result is almost as good, so i don’t really go much for the increasingly expensive bakuteh the last few years (I used to do a few times a week!).^^
