The taste to remember

Met f at cityhall earlier on today with the intention of having dinner and at the same time, some window-shopping. Without much of a debate, we eventually settled for some Pork ribs at a certain café which I’ll prefer not to disclose here. They’re famously known for their Pork ribs and I was delighted to know that they were having this promotion which offers a soup, drink and unlimited flow of bread combo for just $12.80.

I ordered what we wanted and deep-down I knew we were in for an ultimate treat! The ribs were served rather promptly and it looked exactly like what was illustrated on the menu. I immediately diverted my attention to the main course and put aside about half of my soup for the time being.

The 1st bite did somehow surprise me as it wasn’t really as good as I thought it would be. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like it was awful but to go there with the preconceived thought that it’s their specialty would leave one disappointed after all. Thus, to be an impartial critic, I would say that it’s just ok. The sweet sauce which went along with the ribs kind of gets into you as you hit as early as the 30% mark of the meal. The meat was done reasonably well with enough retained moisture and resistance.

As I was slicing through the half way mark of the ribs, I noticed that a substantial degree of resistance from the meat was lost. I didn’t think much of it at that point in time but the minute that slice of meat was placed in the moist and warm terrain of my mouth it disintegrated without much chewing leaving an awfully pungent garbagy stench. It tasted so bad that I had to spit it out immediately! I was pretty sure that it was not what it was to be and concluded that that chunk of ribs was probably partially decayed. Not that I’ve tasted decayed meat before, but trust me, you’ll just have to taste it to fully understand!!!
