Baby Back Ribs

I have been saving my baby back ribs in the freezer for quite a while because I was still researching for a good recipe. I even asked my friends Jona, Lisa and Marianne for tips on how to cook tender, juicy ribs! The only ribs recipe I know is the Filipino kind where you marinate the ribs in soysauce, sugar and pepper. Boil in water until tender and then bake until a little dark in color. A delicious recipe... nothing wrong with it... but I want the kind that they serve in American restaurants ...

greasy... shiny... fall off the bones kind of Barbecued Baby Back ribs.

Mona loves baby back ribs ... so I told her I would cook the one I have in the freezer for her. Lisa gave me her recipe and tweaked it a little bit and it turned out really, really, really YUMMMM.... hahaha the meat was so tender and swimming in barbecue sauce. We almost ran out of paper napkin! The side dish was boiled corn (from Rustan's Rockwell) ... about 1/2 kilo per piece... of course we rolled it in butter and fine salt. I even cooked french fries but forgot to take a picture because I was so excited to eat already!!!!
