Uchi Lounge

Moreish – Cafe Ish

July 13, 2010

All-you-can-eat ribs. It’s such a beautiful concept that it almost makes me tear up at the thought. Tender, succulent crescents of meat that slips effortlessly off the bone.

Here Comes The Party – Party at Richard’s

January 4, 2010

Some succulent looking roast pork, huh? It’s been a while since I’ve had roasted pork this good! However, this dish was but a small portion of the food that was available at a post-Christmas gathering of food bloggers that was organised by Richard from Here Comes The Food. Though, don’t be fooled into thinking that [...]
