Ten years of experience delivering up soul food to happy families has given Riblees with the ability to serve the edible equivalent of a massage, and Expat Wine Dinner guests were able to enjoy the comforts of a meal at this family-run joint last month. Guests gathered at 7pm to chat as canapés circulated and the tantaslising smell of the main meal wafted from the kitchens, before taking their places and unfolding napkins.

The meal started with a Green Pea Smoked Bone soup that provided plenty of comforting flavour, the charming dishful enhanced by a glass of sweet and light Duncan Creek Moscato. Next up was a lovely Watercress Mango Salad with Mackerel Flakes that proved this eatery does so much more than ribs, and yet when the ribs did arrive, they were a sight to behold! The Bourbon Glazed Pork Ribs – something of a house specialty at Riblees – arrived after the Spicy Capellini Bacon Pasta, the former being paired with a crisp Eagle Ridge Red Zinfandel while the latter was complemented by the Eagle Ridge Petite Sirah.

And what could be more satisfying that a sticky chocolate dessert to conclude the evening? The Chocolate Mud Pie that rounded off the meal was the ultimate gratifying treat and ensured that no one stood up from the table without a bulging belly.
