We finally made the trip down to Farrer Park to check out Hungry Heroes. Like its moniker, the restaurant was brimming with hungry guests and American superheroes along the lines of Iron Man, Batman and Captain America. The food journo in us wanted to order more dishes to sample, but thankfully our alter ego stepped in to prevent the aforementioned, opting for a sharing meat platter (serves 2-3) consisting of half rack pork ribs, 200g sirloin steak, 250g de-boned chicken leg, pulled pork and a side salad, corn and beautifully roasted potatoes.

We ravenously dug into the grilled chicken leg, which turned out to be disappointingly bland on its own, requiring the accompaning smoky mushroom sauce to up its palatability.

Mustering a little more conviction is the pulled pork—tasty; although a tad less salt would've been perfect.

Slathered with the house special "heroes sauce", the half rack ribs were sufficiently tender, the smoky barbecue sauce acting as a flavor enhancer.

The sirloin steak arrived just the way we ordered—medium rare, exuding a nice chargrilled smokiness to the meat. Our only gripe is the subtle bitter aftertaste of carbon (that was evident on the chicken as well) that might be have been easily missed by an untrained palate, suggesting its overuse of the grill.
