Hurricanes, Top Ryde
28 March 2011, 01:13
OH HAI! It’s been a while since I’ve taken a photo with a shiny knife! It sure is shiny. And yes I am wearing a bib cos I am the world’s messiest eater. So how was your weekend dudes? Did we all remember to vote? The boy and I decided to forgo the sausage sizzle at the local primary school and headed over to Hurricanes in the new Top Ryde Shopping Centre (Shop R3006 Ground Floor, Top Ryde City, Cnr Blaxland Rd & Devlin St, Ryde) for a super meat fest.
Woohoo check out my porky ribs! The half rack of pork ribs ($29) was freaking massive, the meat so tender and easily ripped away from the bone with your teeth. I could only make it thru half of these sexy meaty morsels smothered in sweet tangy bbq sauce and couldn’t even look let alone touch the baked potato. They need a kids sized version cos my stomach is so fail but super props to Hurricanes for wrapping up my ribs to take home and chucking in a brand new potato with a container of sour cream! Service yo!
Noods was having trouble deciding on what to get and chose the lamb ribs and steak combo ($42) with fries that were so golden and delicious. The steak looked a bit dubious, seemingly placed far away from the ribs and fries action but when I managed to steal a bite of the steak I suffered from the most incredible food envy ever. It was everything I look for in a steak- tender, juicy, MOIST and with truckloads of flavour and don’t get me started on the lamb ribs! They were a bit chewier than the pork but the flavour was just out of this world zomg words fail me! It was like angels blessed this lamb rack with tastiness.
No way could we fit in dessert, so sorry guys no sweet ending but hey lookit beer! Finally found Aussie beers that I like!
Back to home
how did I not know there was a hurricanes in top ryde?! must got there asap for some tasty rib action! and maybe for some MOIST steak too lol
— Jacq Mar 28, 01:42 AM #You ordered a half rack and still failed halfway? lol. And heh, there is a distinct gap between the steak and those ribs. Meaty morsels… mmm…
— Helen (grabyourfork) Mar 28, 02:59 AM #1 beer from Newcastle, one from Perth.
— Fiona Mar 28, 07:51 AM #There’s a Hurricanes at Top Ryde City now? Woo hoo! Actually, I live closer to both Bondi and Darling Harbour so I don’t know what I’m woo hooing for. The lamb and ribs combo looks ridiculous! I’d never finish that in a million years.
— joey@FoodiePop Mar 28, 08:33 AM #Yay ribs! Haha at not finishing a half rack though… ;-)
— Chanel Mar 28, 08:55 AM #Bluetongue Lager & Little Creatures Pale Ale are my 2 favourite beers, yum!! :-D
Woo thanks for this post, I made a booking for this coming Saturday for my family to feast there. 8 people means more to share and more to try. Can’t wait to get my hands on the ribs….yum!!!!
— Brenda Mar 28, 09:16 AM #So glad I don’t have to travel far for my ribs fix now :D That was nice of them to give you another baked potato :)
— Steph Mar 28, 09:16 AM #i LOVE hurricanes! i really need to get my ribs fix now :)
— Gastronomous Anonymous Mar 28, 10:49 AM #Dude, that first pic of you should be used for a slasher movie poster! Also, voted in my new electorate this weekend, and there was NO sausage sizzle. What the hell!? And obviously no Hurricanes as a substitute. Heartbreaking stuff.
— KayB Mar 28, 10:59 AM #There is no way to eat ribs without getting messy is there? (if there is.. write a post about it haha)
Those look really good.
— Tamz Mar 28, 11:50 AM #Love the cheeky glint in your eye, knife-girl! Those ribs are damn impressive
— john@heneedsfood Mar 28, 11:50 AM #Who doesn’t like a MOIST steak, eh? Haven’t tried the Hurricanes at Top Ryde yet but have been keeping it in mind since it opened!
— mademoiselle delicieuse Mar 28, 11:54 AM #OH Suze, go for full rack!! LOL
— Yas @ hungry.digital.elf. Mar 28, 11:59 AM #I had no idea they have one in Ryde. Me need some riblicious dinner soon.
Didn’t know there is a hurrucanes in Top Ryde! Wohoo! Need to check it out soon.
— Ellie (Almost Bourdain) Mar 28, 12:32 PM #Tee hee, I had a sausage at my old primary school.
— Tina@foodboozeshoes Mar 28, 12:40 PM #Last time I was at Hurricanes I had the full rack… never again I think
These look delicious, i love ribs! and the bib :)
— muppy Mar 28, 12:51 PM #i just love how u hold a knife. cant get over it.
— sugarpuffi Mar 28, 06:51 PM #Why Why Why … do I go in your blog when I’m super hungry?! Glutton for punishment.
I want ribs NOOOWWW!
— Genevieve Mar 28, 06:51 PM #I just love ribs that fall off the bone!!! Always a “birthday dinner” request in this house.
— Cate Mar 28, 07:24 PM #I stumbled upon this place last week when we were doing a random snoop around Top Ryde. Excitement doesn’t even cover my reaction when I saw this place…we’ll be back for ribs ASAP! And the steak…
— Miss Piggy Mar 28, 09:53 PM #yum!! new hurricanes in top ryde is absolutely good news!
— Melissa Mar 28, 11:10 PM #wowzer, that’s a big set of half ribs. go you. i’m proud.

— Dolly Mar 29, 10:21 PM #Oh I was walking past the one in Darling harbour on the weekend and the smell was killing me! I love the smell of meat cooking!
— Susan Mar 30, 12:19 PM #Suze! I went here with my friend for his b’day two weeks ago. Sooo good! I got a half rack of pork ribs. Finger lickin’ good! Can’t believe I Billy & I had full racks when we all went to Darling Harbour!!
— shaun @ everybody loves ramen Apr 12, 10:41 AM #OOH! I’m such a MAJOR fan of the hurricane ribs!
— Mary Jun 7, 03:12 PM #Isn’t Hurricane’s the best! The fillet of tenderloin with peppercorn sauce is also a divine experience! I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
