Well, I got some inspiration from my visit to one of the local famous ribs restaurant in JB recently when my best friend and I had visited. We had ordered a slab of their famous ribs and I thought of making my own at home but with a cheaper cut of spare ribs instead. The ribs that was served at the restaurant was Bali's version , I made these with a fusion twist and surprisingly it tasted delicious according to my best friend who was lucky to be able to try it.
