Famous for their pork ribs, Down To Bones ("DTB") is a simple set-up at the corner of a kopitiam and only available on weekend dinners. Orders and payments are also simplified to a hand-written order sheet, a calculator and a polite lady with a table.
The pork ribs are sweet (with the garlic-based BBQ sauce) whilst the meat is tender. You may choose to eat it with a fork and knife or with your hands (plastic gloves are supplied)! However, some parts are charred (not for the super healthy-conscious) possibly due to the torching of the meat while its being grilled. It gets cold easily possibly due to the torching as well. They may want to increase the speed of serving and customer turnover, similar to "fast food" style. Though seated directly below the fan, normally ribs do not get cold these easily when cooked the slowly-grilled way. 
Grilled lamb was a disappointment. The cut is too thin, and some parts are slightly bitter. Overall taste was a bit bland, thus the mint sauce was the big hero here.
DTB is located at a corner kopitiam with no additional air ventilation (only ceiling fans). With the grilling taking place inside the roof, you will end up eating in a smoky environment and returning home with the BBQ smells. Best to sit outside although tables are limited.
Can drinks can be self-taken from the icebox next to the order lady. Interestingly, the beer seems to be from South Korea with a stated 4.5% alcohol content.
WILL WE COME BACK - Maybe (pork ribs are tender and the sauce is decent but there are plenty of nicer pork ribs out there).
