Review: Fuego's Lamb Ribs Set

Succulent lamb ribs join forces with flavourful sides for a satisfying dining experience

Is there anything as satisfying as the rugged taste of lamb? There’s certainly no other meat that comes close to it. No matter the style of cooking, or whatever herbs, spices or sauces are added to it, there’s no need to be sheep-ish when extolling the virtues of this wholesome meat.

Those who enjoy living life on the lamb are certainly in for a treat this MCO. Popular eatery Fuego at Troika Sky Dining has concocted a mouth-watering lamb ribs set meal, complete with special side dishes, all for your dining pleasure. Best of all, it is specially made for delivery, meaning you can feast on it in the comfort of your own home.

If you didn't already know, Troika Sky Dining, which is located within an iconic Norman Foster building, is made up of Cantaloupe, Fuego, Strato, Mr Chew’s Chino Latino Bar and Brasserie Fritz.

The first thing one will notice about the Fuego Lamb Ribs Set is how good it looks. A lot of care has clearly been put into its presentation. Put together, its dishes are a beautiful palette of shades and textures. The brown tones from the lamb and butternut squash contrast with the eye-catching guacamole green and bright hues of the vegetables, allowing these colours to stand out even further.

The meal is also packaged well for delivery: most dishes have their main components packed in separate containers, and the lamb ribs are contained in foil. No need to worry about stains or spills here!

The set starts on a strong note, with Fuego Guacamole. This popular dish is a generous mix of avocado, green chili, tomato and other ingredients, and its wholesome heartiness nicely complements the accompanying lotus root, banana and sweet potato chips. The other appetiser, the Corned Beef Croquettes, is also a nice meaty pleasure.

Above Fuego's trademark Lamb Ribs

The star of the set, however, is undoubtedly the Lamb Ribs. Some people believe that lamb ribs contain too much fatty meat, but the ones served to us do not live up to that misconception at all. What we get instead is tender, succulent flesh that almost melts off the bone. Every bite has us wanting more.

Fuego’s lamb ribs are braised in their own stock for four hours, with spices. They are then grilled with smoked paprika and habanero rub, which nicely accentuate the meat’s flavour. Accompanying them is a dip ominously named ‘dastardly hot sauce’. We are initially a bit worried about our mouths catching fire, but thankfully, this earthy sauce adds just the right amount of kick to an already great dish.

The ribs are accompanied by two sides: the vibrantly coloured Fresh Leaves with lime and ginger dressing, and the Butternut Squash. The latter dish is particularly satisfying, with the vegetable char-grilled and placed on a bed of crumbly farofa—this is a toasted cassava or corn flour mixture often eaten in Brazil, and it is certainly delightful.

Above All in all, the Fuego Lamb Ribs set is a truly satisfying dining experience.

The set concludes with an all-time favourite, Fuego’s Famous Churros. These crisp and glistening pastries are the perfect end to the meal: dipped in a creamy salted caramel espuma dip, they are a lovely marriage of sweet and savoury,

All in all, the Fuego’s Lamb Rib Set is a satisfying and highly enjoyable meal that deftly combines flavours and textures, resulting in a culinary experience that will please the pickiest of palates. If you’re a lover of lamb, in particular, it’s really not a baaaa-d choice.

The restaurant is open for delivery and takeaway from 11am - 9pm every day.
