After a rather late night, I awoke with one thing on my mind, well actually two things, firstly, I'm too old for late nights, and secondly, I want ribs. So, when the other half finished work we headed to Ruby Tuesday in Tsuen Wan. Still smarting from the previous evening's revelry I opted for a glass of iced lemon tea ($52, but I was assured that it was bottomless refill). That being said, I have eaten and drunk here before and the margaritas are pretty good. I ordered a half rack of classic BBQ [sic] ribs and the other half went for the chicken, avocado and bacon sandwich.
On previous rib-craving visits I have also enjoyed the accompanying baked potato crowned with a generous portion of butter and sour cream, so imagine my disappointed (albeit slight) when the ribs turned up with two scoops of mash instead. I made a minor comment about being sure that it usually came with a baked potato. This was merely an observation, not a complaint, but within 30 seconds the manager had come over to see if things were ok and said that they would return it to the kitchen and get the mash replaced. I assured her that this was not necessary, but we did later comment on the good, swift attention to the customer, well done RT. The element of the meal not so easily forgiven was the 'healthy' portion of cauliflower adorning, the plate, goading and smirking at me with its opaque alien nastiness. I am an adventurous eater, but cauliflower is evil and should never be permitted to call itself food. If I had known, I could have requested my ribs without said evilness, especially as when all of the other plates of ribs went by, they had baked potato and not a hint of cauliflower, but broccoli, an altogether more palatable side. Not sure why I had a different plate to all of the other diners, but suffice it to say, that the mash was fine (if a touch lumpy) and the ribs, as always came clean off the bone and and had a good meat to bone ratio, the sauce is tangy and sweet, if a little generic.
The sandwich was huge. I'm guessing that the chicken breast in the sandwich was 5cm at its thickest. It was juicy, not stringy and went really well with the creamy avocado and the smokey salty bacon, and the ubiquitous lettuce and tomato, bravo. No issue here with potato confusion, seasoned fries and some ketchup.
My personal opinion, and let's be honest, that's all these reviews ever are, is that RT generally hits the spot if you have the membership card that offers 50% off the bill. So, with membership card in hand, and cauliflower tossed with contempt onto a side plate, we handed over $350 and thought that we had done quite well out of it.
