I was completely surprised by the food at Burnin’ Pit. Our sandwiches were huge and loaded with ingredients. Both of us were absolutely stuffed before finishing our meals, and I wasn’t hungry for the rest of the day. I thought this would be a very generic restaurant that wouldn’t put any effort into the food – that they were simply coasting on their status as a barbecue restaurant, which is why I didn’t want to waste over RM200 for a platter only to be disappointed. However, I was very impressed. The food at Burnin’ Pit was so good that I will gladly come back and try their expensive barbecue platters.
The Peri Peri Chicken. It was so moist, so smoky flavorful and was great eaten with the pickled gherkins and green chilies. My brother was even talking about coming back and then ordering 1/4 chicken each. It was that good.
Salted Egg POBOY RM19 – crispy, deep fried to golden brown squid flash-fried with salted egg, Chilli padi and Indian Curry Leaves; generously sandwiched between baguette. Sided with fries. An order that both kids and adult will approve.
Indonesian style mee goreng basah, RM25, the roast pork on the side is really good, surprised at the amount of crunch it has, wish they have a side dish with only roasted pork. yum!
Nanu's Platter served with a various of delectable foods such as Crispy Roasted Pork, Pigs in a Blanket, Corn on the Cob, BBQ Iberico Ribs, Crispy Fish Fingers, Mini Mix Mesclun Salad, Golden Calamari Rings, Vienna Cheese Sausage, BBQ Satay Lilit, Cheey Truffle Fries and Honey BBQ Sausage. We enjoyed to dip it with different sauce to enhance the flavourness and delicious! Quite satisfying and worth to paid off because we could taste a variety of these foods of the platter. It is available on every Friday, Saturday and Sunday exclusively. The price of the platter was RM188.
他们家的猪肋排可是让我念念不忘的美味啊~
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.
Reasons to visit Naughty Babe Dirty Duck: a friendly neighbourhood vibe; ideal for the carnivore in your family; must-tries are the Dirty Duck, NBDD BBQ Pork Ribs, Duckie Burger, Tamarind Glazed Chicken, Iberico Aglio Alio and for something sweet don’t miss the Magnum Explosion for dessert.
The piece de resistance here is without a doubt the NBDD BBQ pork Ribs. You can go for the half slab at RM42 or go all out for the full portion at RM78. The ribs are brushed in homemade barbecue sauce and cooked to perfection, on a hot grill. The meat is tender and falls of the bone easily, and the sauce on them is absolutely delicious. Finger licking good, for sure!
One of the must-try dishes at Kin Gyu is the Sukiyaki hot pot (RM250). Sit back and watch as one of the staff cooks the sukiyaki tableside. For 2 - 3 person set, you will get two different cuts of Wagyu - the rib eye and chuck. The staff starts off by gently grilling the leeks and then adding some of the warishita sauce and then cooking the rib eye beef. You can choose from three different dipping sauces - whipped egg sauce, raw egg and dashi sauce - to which the beef will be added for you to enjoy. Then, the staff will meticulously arrange the other ingredients into the sukiyaki pot, such as vegetables, mushrooms, wheat gluten and kudzu starch noodles. There is also a pot of dashi stock, which you can add to the sukiyaki if you find it too sweet. For us, the taste was just right. Truly enjoyable.
Highly recommend the latter (Soy Milk & Cream Cheese Tofu RM15) – homemade cheese tofu using fresh soy milk, arrow root and cream cheese. So creamy, savour slowly for the melt-in-mouth sensation.
Wagyu Beef Soup Rice – RM100 Charcoal grilled Wagyu beef served on top of a bed of rice in a claypot. On the side, with Japanese soup stock of bonito flakes, dried sardine and mackerel flakes poured over. This is heavenly lip smacking. I was taught how to eat this Gyu Kabayaki Hitsumabushi – first we eat the original flavour without adding anything. Then, add in condiments for another taste. Lastly, add in the dashi to the rice. 3 ways of enjoying this rice!
♥Verdict: Satisfying quality of Wagyu beef with great texture and flavours. Price of beef (prime cut & Wagyu) platter starting from RM200+ to RM600+ while the ala carte orders priced from RM20+ to RM170+.
Since there aren't any set menus (for dinner), the prices may seem a little higher for the a la carte orders, so be prepared to fork out around RM100 per person for a meal here. Though prices are on the higher end, I have no complaints and deem it worthy when the meat and seafood is utterly fresh and of such good quality. My only tiny grouse to our otherwise very satisfying dinner was that some of the diners decided to smoke (I'm not sure if that's allowed but none of the staff seem to object) probably thinking that it's ok since there are exhaust hoods to suck up the smoke (luckily so). Overall, we enjoyed our meal tremendously and I would say it's an excellent place to satisfy your craving for some good tasting grilled meats. Coupled with a personal one-on-one service of grilling the meat at tableside, it was brilliant and much welcomed. I'd probably return at some point but not before I've had the chance to try out the other grilled meat joint in the area! ^_~
There are two yakiniku restaurants in Desa Sri Hartamas: KNK (Kannichikan Yakiniku) and Momotalo Yakiniku. Personally, I find both of them equally good but KNK seems to attract more Japanese customers while Momotalo enjoys more patronage from the locals – mainly because it’s pork free. And since Momotalo is pork free, their menu has lesser choices compared to KNK. But that does not take away the fact that their ingredients are fresh and the quality is top notch for the price you pay. Meat options start from RM20 and could go up to RM165 for Kobe beef.
My Personal Opinion In the end, it was a BBQ experience that was just passable, certainly not as good as the one we had at Momotalo, not even KNK. Prices were pretty similar with the other two but freshness and taste were far from similar. I guess I shouldn't read too much into reviews from 3 years ago! >_<
Some very authentic Korean food in Desa Sri Hartamas puts this little enclave of food haven a must visit for korean food lovers. Dae Sa Kwan korean BBQ caters to plenty of korean expatriates you’d feel like you are actually in Korea when dining in the restaurant. Come nightfall, flocks of diners flood into the tiny restaurant and you can easily score some crazy good and fresh BBQ meats.
