Black Star Pastry
Hurricane's Grill
(Chain found in multiple locations)
Recommended by Calvin Chew as his top ribs joint.
*New entry was finally being able to try their Lamb ribs and were they delicious fall of the bone. The chars at the end were great smokey accents. Great showing but best sticky ribs joint still goes to local 1819 sticky lamb ribs in Singapore!*
*Good standard buffalo wings with a pretty spicy St Louis hot sauce*
Around the area we had explored Powerhouse Museum and got on a wonderful ferry ride to Circular Quay. Click here for full write up.

Strawberry cake 8AUD
*Instagram worthy only. The Cake is not at all worth the steep asking price of 8AUD.
Rose syrup and petals, with pistachio for the toppings, layered with a fresh watermelon layer in between. These turned out to be more song and dance that ‘justified’ the high asking price. A pleasant cake but too small a portion.*

As far as bakeries, cakes and sweets goes, the one that stands out at tops is Mr Holmes Bake House located in SFO and their must have Cruffin (whose flavor changes daily!). So so cake that's not worth.

We literally quoted what their bibs were saying. We were there just for their ribs. Proceeded for a hearty lunch before exploring the world famous Bondi Beach in Sydney.

Prices have risen quite a fair bit in 5years since trying this chain. Their lamb ribs were really good and would still recommend the place for their beef anhurricaned lamb ribs. Review of their pork selection as seen below. Fed 4 at AUD40 per pax.

Combo ribs. Choice of 2 ribs with a side. Baked Potato
*We went for the most popular orders namely the pork and beef ribs.The
beef ribs are by far the best Beef ribs had thus far. Superior to
even Grill House’s beef ribs (located in Johannesburg). The ribs here at Hurricane’s grill are
really meaty, fall off bone tender and that sauce is phenomenal. Smokey,
sweet and not overly sourish. A great mix and we almost wanted an
additional Serving of sauce. That’s quality Aussie beef product for you.
The pork ribs, although fall off the bone but the meat are a little chewy. They are probably at par with Castells and loose by way of meatiness and flavor to Cafe De Klos, both of which are located in Amsterdam. Rusticanna in Munich still reigns supreme of the pork ribs battle.
Give the baked potato a miss. Its probably the variety of potatoes that they have. It tastes watery and not that flavorful. Stick to their fries.*

Their bibs could not state our sentiment any more clearly. Am here for the ribs and the stand out is the BEEF RIBS! A must have. Will try their lamb ribs the next time around!
