Me and 5 of my girlfriends headed to Morganfield's at Star Vista for our Christmas Celebrations and dinner. We made reservations beforehand so we got really nice and comfortable indoor seatings. At first we wanted to order two full slabs of ribs to share between the six of us but the waitress kindly recommended that their Morgan's Christmas Ribs Platter ($129.90). They also have two other platters, Turkey Platter ($139.90) and Seafood Platter($129.90), but we were there for their ribs so it was
This huge platter includes, a Christmas Caesar Salad with Prosciutto, Sausage Platter comprising of 4 sausages, Half Slab of Hickory BBQ Sticky Bones, Half Slab of Smoked Peppercorn Sticky Bones, Half Slab of Tuscan Baked Spicy Sticky Bones, side dishes like French Fries, Redskin Mashed, Corn on the cob and Pilaf Rice. They also have a yummy dessert platter which comprising of Warm Brownie, Warm Banana Cake and Warm Bread Pudding. There were also two scoops of ice cream - vanilla and chocolate.In fact this restaurant serves three different flavours of ribs and all of which were on the platter. However we were all not very much into spicy food so the waitress offered to change our Half Slab of Tuscan Baked Spicy Sticky Bones to another Half Slab of Hickory BBQ Sticky Bones, which means we had a full slab of the Hickory BBQ Sticky Bones.
The Hickory BBQ Sticky Bones were the hot favourite among all six of us, the sauce they use is just sweet and sour with a tinge of BBQ spiciness. The ribs were very meaty, we could practically lift up the meat from the bones. It was so tender and juicy. The Smoked Peppercorn flavour was a little hot, tasted like black pepper sauce, went pretty well with the ribs.
In fact, it was kind of an overkill for the six of us cos the portion was too much. The mashed potato was very good, it was not watery at all, the consistency was just right to dig your fork in and scoop up a chunk. However, I found the corn a little dry and it somewhat sticks to your teeth. It did not have much buttery taste as well.
The Pilaf rice was very fragrant, has this faint buttery taste, too bad we were so stuffed with the ribs we could barelt finish the rice. The four sausages on the sausage platter had different flavours, and the cheese flavour was my favourite. The cheese actually squirts out when i sliced into it, and it gave me a shock but it was awfully delicious.
This was the aftermath of 6 hungery gals.
