Ribs, Oasis Complex, Bandar Utama
I think they sell ribs.
A small group of us went to this restaurant on New Year’s Eve 2008 for dinner. It will probably suprise you, but Ribs is located near the school opposite the One Utama driving range. Bet you didn’t know there was a row of shop lots there right?
Their speciality is ribs, just as their restaurant name would suggest and the shop is actually quite new, less than 1 year old. I first came to know about it through my cousin, as his friend owns and runs the restaurant with his wife.
Mushroom soup
Ham and Pea Soup
For starters, we ordered a cesar’s salad, a ham and pea soup and a mushroom soup. Both of the soups were nice and creamy, but needed just a bit more salt. They are both made fresh in the kitchen (no canned soup nonsense) so you can really taste the mushrooms and the ham, peas and potatos in both soups.
Cesar's salad with bacon bits and crutons
Unfortunately, the salad was not as good as I’ve had it before, with the crutons being a bit burnt when it was given to us. I told the owner and he apologised as it was new year’s eve and they had a recent reshuffling of kitchen staff, so some of them are getting used to their new jobs.
BBQ ribs
I had the BBQ ribs, which were served with roast potatoes and I quite liked the taste. The ribs at Ribs always come out very tender, with the meat falling off the bone and the flavor going quite deep into the meat. The BBQ ribs are their house speciality.
Italian style ribs
My friend Stan (from Bake With Stan fame), ordred the Italian style ribs, which I must admit I preffered over my BBQ ribs. The taste was more basic, with a more salt and pepper savoury taste to it, which I guess on the night I had more of a craving for. It reminded me of the ribs my friend’s mum (she’s argentinian) used to make for me and him when we were kids.
Lamb shank
Sue Ann ordered the lamb shank, which was served on garlic mash. Sue Ann said it had a slight gamey taste, which I must admit I couldn’t really taste over the flavour of the sauce.
Usually we’d order the apple crumble with Haagen Dazs ice cream (only RM9) which is probably the price of the scoop of ice cream itself. But that night we were really full. But the last time I had it it was great, I would recommend you trying it for yourself.
We later found out that they were throwing a NYE party on the roof of the establishment, hence the slightly rushed quality of the food. We went up to have a look and ended up watching the countdown fireworks from there as it was an ideal location to see them from both the Curve and 1 Utama at the same time.
I’d never seen fireworks so close at hand before. It was great.

Hi,
Your review sounds interesting. So is the food really good? Thinking to go there for their Valentines day promotion. Would you recommend?
By the way, I found their website, but the website is pretty terrible. hmm.

Hi Avi, I think the food is pretty good. Just that day, they probably took on more people than they could handle. (normal dinner service and NYE bbq on the roof)
My recommendations would be the mushroom soup, italian (savoury) or BBQ ribs (sweet-smokey) and finish off the meal with an apple crumble with ice cream.
What’s the Valentine’s day promotion they’re having this year?
