| - Ever since I moved to sauga, I spent a lot of time reading insauga to see what's happening in my hood. One of the pages they had up on rotation was the top 5 rib places and lo and behold, one of them was close by my house!
So I finally picked a day where I wasn't going to see anyone (read: I could sit at home in my fat pants) and decided to grab a rack of ribs for lunch. Lesson learned people: a rack of ribs for lunch for one person is redonk. It ended up being more like a rack of ribs for me and the mister for lunch and dinner and tomorrow's lunch.
Anyways, Brasas is a small little take-out joint with fresh ribs and chicken and egg tarts. You could also dine-in, but this place is quick food only, so no service. The place starts getting busy at the lunch hour, but they are efficient with the orders and seem to move at a good pace. The prices are quite a bit higher than I would've expected, but the food is GOOD. The amount of people that travel to that small plaza just for the food is a testament of how good it is.
Note: they have two menus up for some reason, with different pricing, so I was confused and sad to have been charged the higher price. I expected as much, but if you want to raise your prices, take down the other large menu that's literally hanging above the pay area.
The egg tarts were wonderful - flaky pastry with a lovely custard filling and the right amount of char on top. I found them a bit sweet, but everyone else in the household was impressed.
I'm up for trying the chicken some time in the future, but would I grab a rack of ribs again? At that price, probably only for a special occasion.
