Ticklish Ribs & 'Wiches - 9 October 2015


So it was my mom's birthday and she said she wants to go somewhere nearby. I saw one of my friends posted on this restaurant at her facebook page, googled it and we decided to go. They only serve "Babi".




This restaurant is on the ground floor (next to the famous Sea Park Maybank). Parking can be a problem during lunch and dinner time. When I entered the restaurant, it was a small place (put in as many tables and chairs) and I thought it was a proper sit-in restaurant where you have the waiters and waitresses to take down your orders. 


Another section of the restaurant

Crowded on a Friday night and their simple decorations

However, their concept was:-

(a) you sit down; 
(b) go through their menu; 
(c) choose your meat, then choose your carbohydrate food (pasta, sandwich or rice); 
(d) decide whether you want to "Add-On";
(e) use the piece of paper provided for you on your table and tick what you want in that piece of paper;
(f) bring it to the counter to order your food;
(g) make payment; 
(h) cups will be given for you to fill up your soft drinks at the back; and
(i) take your own cutlers, serviettes and sauces.

As it's our 1st time to the restaurant, I think it was the restaurant owner that came to our table and explained to us how the concept works. Seriously, it was a SUPER COMPLICATED menu to start with. All I wanted was something simple and easy to read and decide on my food, but having to go through the boxes and which column to tick, it's simply not ideal especially when you are HUNGRY!!


The menu

Tick what you like to eat

So after we decided on our food, my husband went to the counter to order. He said each customers took at least 5-10 minutes to order as they are also confused. Again, my husband received help at the counter from the cashier and restaurant owner and he tried to help us simplify what we want........

Then we noticed that there are something rolling forward and backwards, it's where they roll their food over to their kitchen and back to the pick-up counter. Interesting!!



The tracks for the rolling of the food. 
Check out the food that we ordered below:-

Add -on Pasta (RM8.00) - pretty plain and I don't recommend this.

Add-on French fries (RM8.00)- quite nice

Got Balls with Rice (RM15.00) - not bad


The Ultimate Ribs Not Really (Full Serving) (RM38.00) -nice ribs but the sauce not to my liking

You Braised Me Up with Charcoal Bread with Extra Egg (RM16.00 + RM2.00)

Add-on  ZZZALAD (RM8.00)

Cappucino and Milo (RM5.00 and RM4.00)
The food were reasonable. I was informed by the waitress that if you rate them 5 stars on the trip advisor sites, you will get RM20.00 sandwich voucher. My friend who went there on the same day in the afternoon, rated 5 stars and got a free T-shirt. However, she said the T-shirt was not to her liking and she will not advertised Pork, etc and wear it publicly. I did not rate them at all as I don't think I will go back as the menu is too complicated and this restaurant caters for the young working adults!
