Popular Perth ribs joint launches viral Dubai choc desserts
A Perth restaurant, known for its American-style barbecue ribs, is causing a stir among the food community following the launch of its viral Dubai chocolate-inspired desserts.
The head chef at Ribs Lane was inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate taking social media feeds by storm to create rich, over-the-top treats for dessert lovers wanting in on the global obsession.
The Dubai chocolate sweet treat craze recently popped off on TikTok thanks to influencers promoting Dubai chocolate — a chocolate bar containing a filling made with kadayif and pistachio — created by Emirati Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai.
Head chef Nicka Isabella said the team saw the trend explode overseas and wanted to create something that would give Perth a taste of the hype.
'It's not just about going viral. These desserts taste as good as they look. Perth deserves its own over-the-top dessert experience, and this is it,' she said. The desserts are unapologetically extra. Credit: Jay Turks
Each dessert features house-made elements and Ribs Lane's signature drizzle, crafted to mimic the iconic Dubai-style presentations but with a Ribs Lane twist.
'These desserts are unapologetically extra and that's exactly what we wanted,' Nicka said.
'We've developed our own special recipe and flavour profile that's got people returning again and again. They are indulgent, fun, and impossible to ignore - both on the table and on social media.'
People with a sweet tooth can indulge in viral Dubai chocolate loukamades ($17), waffles ($17) and cups ($15).
The Ribs Lane Subiaco location will also offer a dessert pizza ($23).
