When you think of great Western staples as well as combinations, one of the first things that may come to mind are beef ribs and coke.
Why not an infusion of both? That’s exactly what Tony Roma’s had in mind when it recently launched its year-end menu specially curated by Brand Ambassador, Chef Datuk Fazley Yaakob in collaboration with Coca-Cola in conjunction with the American casual dining chain restaurant’s 50th anniversary.
WORLD OF BUZZ had the luxury of dining in at the place with fellow media partners during the outlet’s media event at their Pavilion outlet yesterday (October 25) where we got to taste first hand how the festive menu curated by Fazley Yaakob in collaboration with Coca-Cola brings a different spin to pairing the cola with Tony Roma’s offerings.
A total of 3 dishes as well as drinks were served and words couldn’t describe how delicious it all was!
Cola Sauce Australian Beef Ribs
First up was the Cola Sauce Australian Beef Ribs (RM93.90), which pairs together tender beef ribs marinated and basted in cola for a sweet yet beefy flavour. This was served with broccoli and corn.
The sweetness of the cola combined with the sweet and salty tender beef ribs made for a delightful combination!
Oven Prepared Ribs
Next up were the Oven Prepared Ribs (RM259.90) which is a different take on the signature Tony Roma’s ribs. Hearty pieces of beef ribs are topped with Tony Roma’s signature herb butter and then slow-cooked in the oven for drop-off-the-bone juicy tenderness.
It is also served with sides of grilled corn on the cob and baked broccoli, making it the perfect meal for sharing.
Onion Loaf with Cola Dip
Chef Yaakob displays his culinary creativity by bringing a unique spin to the restaurant’s world- famous Onion Loaf starter. The year-end menu’s Onion Loaf with Cola Dip (RM23) features Spanish onions, breaded and deep fried, served with a dip made from cola-infused BBQ mayo sauce for a distinctive flavour.
We simply loved this as the combination of deep fried onions and the cola infused sauce was simply a pairing made in heaven!
Meanwhile for drinks, we were served the Frosted Coca-Cola (RM11.90) which is the drink served in an ice-cold mug that has been frosted to make it taste and feel like a slushy!
The perfect additions to Tony Roma’s regular favourites, the year-end menu will be available in all Tony Roma’s outlets from 1st November 2022 until 2nd January 2023, giving patrons even more reasons to visit and enjoy great food, and great times with their loved ones.
“We want our patrons to always think of Tony Roma’s as the place for them to dine and celebrate, be it anniversaries and birthdays, and even for little wins like moving into your new home or surviving your first week in college,” said Daniel Chan Lek Seong, Group Chief Executive Officer of Revenue Valley Sdn Bhd.
