Naughty Babe Dirty Duck. It sounds salacious does it not? hee..hee.. I have heard of this place, was curious, and had my curiosity satisfied when my brother brought it up.
So in keeping with our mission for 2020, that is to explore more eateries, we started off with this one.
Parking in the Desa Sri Hartamas area (as with most areas) is quite a pain. Very congested with narrow roads and limited parking space. But we got lucky and parked somewhere behind the restaurant.
As usual, we eat early and the place was empty save for a gentleman enjoying his drink. I suppose a place like this is more popular when the sun sets, when all the happening people flock here for some minum-minum and makan-makan.
Us? Ah. Our strongest drinks for the day.
No need to ask. Yawn.
We already surveyed the menu online and after another look onsite, we decided on these.
Our appetizer, Tiger Prawn & Serrano Ham. Eh, odd number, how to share? heh..heh…
It was made up of a thin layer of toast topped with grilled red capsicum and prawn wrapped in Serrano Ham. Very nice. Oh, I got the odd numbered one. Thanks to my brother’s generosity hee….hee….
For mains, it was a Dirty Duck Linguine to share. Quite good.
We weren’t too sure how big is the portion size and besides, I was not that hungry after a heavy lunch and dinner the day before. Hence the sharing (I let my brother have the lion’s share).
Of course we could not miss the NDBB BBQ Pork Ribs (half slab). It was served with a Tomato Salsa and another condiment simply known as Hot Stuff. This Hot Stuff reminded my brother of the rempah slathered on fried ikan keli hee…hee…. Yes, it was rather hot.
I thought there was a bit of porky smell and honestly I preferred the ribs at Marta’s Kitchen.
To finish off our lunch, we had to have desserts.
I’m afraid I did not like the Tiramisu. The sponge fingers were too wet and the filling had a strong cheesy smell. I have not had this issue with Tiramisu that I have eaten elsewhere (the cheesy smell, I mean).
But the Creme Brulee, I loved. I was so carried way, I ate my brother’s half of the strawberry. Sorry…
We are not discouraged by the pork ribs or Tiramisu as there are other options that we could explore on our next visit. Perhaps with our parents when they visit for the Chinese New Year.
