| King of all the ribs: Barbarian BBQ Ribs!!! - Finger licking good... |
Ribs and wine - one stop - at Ribs by Vintry, Damansara Heights. A relaxed atmosphere (yes please do eat your ribs with your fingers letting the sauce drip down to your elbows and a sticky tongue dabbing ring of sauce develop around your lips and up to your cheeks), cosy set up and a fantastic wine selection make for a comforting and tummy satisfying evening with friends or family.
You already know the two reasons to visit - ribs and wine. Starting with ribs, the waiter told us that the braised ribs are the most 'special' but our table thought the BBQ pork ribs and the butter cream pork ribs gave them a good run for that honour. Portions are generous and accompanied with some type of vegetable most often mashed potato and coleslaw. Around RM60 will get you a large rack of ribs enough to share or to take home some leftovers. If you are only going along to accompany the carnivore in your life there are a number of other menu options that won't leave you needing a coronary cleaning before midnight.
The Vintry house salad is pretty filling, packed with fresh leaves, cherry and sun dried tomatoes, olives and a tangy papaya dressing. You could also easily just nibble on the cheese platter while blissfully sipping away your hand chosen bottle of wine. Get a recommendation from the trained waitstaff or walk around the racks and coolroom to see for yourself the great assortment of award winning wines from around the world. A decent bottle of wine starts from around RM125 and there is no corkage for wine purchased from the cellar.
So many of us, we decided on variety if dishes for tasting;
Pork ribs sauteed in butter cream & curry leaves-infused sauce. Could have used some bread to mop up the thick, robust gravy.
BBQ pork ribs. Their signature dish really satisfies, though I'm inclined to believe that Checkers nearby still serves chunkier, more succulent ribs.
Beef ribs braised with red wine herb sauce. Tender, but the sauce was too salty and overpowering. Would it be sacrilegious to say we prefer Tony Roma's?
Tom Yum Spaghetti. This might sound like a weird combination, but they were DELICIOUS! I can’t stop picking on the crispy pork lards too. YES, you hear me right; you can actually have crispy pork lards in your spaghetti.
Barbarian Ribs. I’m not kidding. Eat it with your fingers (and ruin your manicure). Tear the meat apart with your teeth (and wonder why it doesn’t take any effort when the meat literally falls off the bones). Lick that delicious barbecue sauce that
clings to the meat.

Haaaaa... a special entry for u Vege fellas, "Vege-bon".. Hahaha... This place had been a famous spot for its Vegetarian food, This place mostly visited by Vegetarian Chinese and Indians...
Something special about this place, is that they have Vegetarian "Yong Tau Fu", which suprisingly taste better than the one prepared with meat.
The Broth that the serve the pieces with is really good... Excellent... also the stuffing that its inserted somehow taste so good (better than meat), i would eat here over the one with meat. Its about RM0.80 - 1.00 each.
Being Malaysian, its our god given right for awesome food... Many traditional "Kuih" available everywhere, a typical Malay Tea time - Pisang Goreng... So common, u see Pisang Goreng everywhere, there is more Pisang Goreng stalls than crows in the sky
Pasta Zanmai actually has a retail at the front of the shop selling Japanese stuffs and the restaurant is at the back occupying half of the shop. Therefore the space and seating capacity is kinda limited. 
Lets start off, hmmm, Would something so Asian go well in fusion with European cuisine... to your suprise its awesome. I have been a huge fan of japanese food, and this had not let me down though disrupting its authenticity. They have double plating combo for one, that means u will be ordering mini dishes instead of one per person, which i feel i pretty good. Bring 8 person and u guys could share and taste the variety of 16 dishes. Sound good? This is just a snip it of the menu. There are ample of variety u could choose from. Also they always have their months special dishes which goes on promotion, its a good buy. The double plating cost RM23 only.... !! Goes well with a jug of cold iced green tea, RM3... OMG!! hahaha...
