Burnin Pit

Last Saturday my brother and I dropped by Steaks & Lobsters with the intention of tasting Rasa Gourmet's menu.

But alas, we found out that the collaboration between Steaks & Lobsters and Rasa Gourmet has been discontinued. The reason - low demand as majority of customers come to savor (obviously) the steaks and lobsters. 

We were disappointed and had to head elsewhere (since we were not in the mood for steaks and lobsters) for lunch. So the next best option was Burnin Pit which was just a few doors away. We had been talking about visiting this BBQ outlet for quite some time and I guess it was meant to be.

When we walked in, two tables were in full swing for (as we discovered later) a birthday party. The youngsters (young working adults) were loud and boisterous as to be expected of such occasions.

Truth be told, I was not prepared for a BBQ meal and was crestfallen as I had anticipated enjoying fresh seafood (siakap tiga rasa, sambal petai, asam pedas huuu...huuu...) at Rasa Gourmet. 

I left the ordering to my brother as he is more familiar with the menu having made orders via Grabfood. 

As usual, we wanted coffee but we were informed that the coffee machine was not ready. So we had to settle for iced lemon tea.

It was a bit of a wait for our order of BBQ Ribs (550g), Beef Brisket (200g), Peri Peri Quarter Chicken, Southern Slaw and Grilled Corn Coconut Milk.

All the while, we had to tolerate the very loud diners, so much so that my brother and I could not have a conversation as we had to raise our voices in order to be heard. So we just sat silently and I felt like I was having a Michael Douglas Falling Down moment hah..hah... But I stayed calm...

Soon our food arrived on a platter.

Wow.... 

I tried the brisket first. It was very tender and moist but I found it quite gamey. This is where the BBQ sauce helped.

On every table is a bottle of their house BBQ sauce. We were also served a bottle of Gula Melaka BBQ sauce which the server told us was just freshly made, hence it came without the bottle cap. It was still warm and yes, we loved the sauce. In fact we almost finished the whole bottle hee...hee...

The ribs were also tender and moist but without that strong gamey smell. I enjoyed it especially when I got to the fatty bits.

But guess what was our favorite?

The Peri Peri Chicken.

It was so moist, so smoky flavorful and was great eaten with the pickled gherkins and green chilies. My brother was even talking about coming back and then ordering 1/4 chicken each. It was that good.

The other orders of Southern Slaw and Grilled Corn Coconut Milk did not disappoint. In fact my brother had already eaten the corn via his Grabfood order and had mentioned to me that I must try the Grilled Corn Coconut Milk because it is awesome. 

I have to agree with him. Imagine grilled corn + coconut milk. How could it not be awesome? It was truly delicious. Special mention to the Southern Slaw which had adequate dressing and seasoning. A far cry from the one we had here.

While enjoying our meal, I spotted the staff preparing two turkeys.

That was a wonderful meal except that the ambiance was spoiled by the noise pollution. I do wish that people would be more conscious and considerate when there are other diners around. Ah well. I am just a whiny complainy old lady hah..hah...

We will be back for sure.
