Smokeys, Joo Chiat Place

I can not describe this place any better than their website.

"We prepare, smoke and slow roast the smoked selections using our secret blend of seasoning and wood chips, making the flavors unique to Smokey’s .  Using traditional American methods to smoke and roast the meats at very low temperatures, the cooking process can take several hours, 20+ hours in some cases! leaving the meat tender and bursting with flavor."

It's true the Beef rib I had was cooked for over 20 hours and it was so tender and very tasty.

We also, tried the soft shell crab, thats right, a whole crab deep fried. Soft shell crab is a crab that has recently shed it's hard shell for a their new one.  The new shell is soft and edible, perfect!

Hard Rock Cafe, Las Vegas

Whilst on a recent trip to Las Vegas, in between drinking, I managed to squeeze in a meal at a classic American venue, Hard Rock Cafe. It did not disappoint, loud rock music, over enthusiastic staff, massive portions and your RDA on a plate!

I went for the BBQ pulled Pork and BBQ spare ribs combo, with fries and coleslaw obviously.

It tasted great, but I had to turn down a trip to the Cheese Cake Factory after such as feast.
