Coffee Pork Ribs

Hi

Coffee in the savoury meat.  I fell in love with it when I first tasted.  Each time I eat in the restaurant or zi char stall, this is one of the dish that I will order.  After seeing my friend, Cecilia Yap cooked this for dinner, it inspired me to cook too.

It’s a fairly simple dish to cook.  Not difficult at all.  But the tricky part for me is the deep frying.  I really hate cleaning up the oil splatters.  Well, this dish made all the effort worth.  The ribs were absolutely delicious and addictive.  It was a good try!

HAPPY COOKING!
