Riblee's @ Desa Sri Hartamas

If a restaurant could guarantee you an epicurean taste and scrumptious dinner, ask yourself, what if the service is bad? Being a customer ain't easy, especially waiting for something you want it so badly. Being a waiter isn't good either. Getting a harsh scolding by the customer definitely pushing yourself to a stage whereby you wish, and absolutely want to serve them a slap. I truly understand how does it feel cause I had once experienced it. Whatever it is, never forget two important rules.

Rule #1 : Customer is always RIGHT!
Rule #2: If the customer is ever wrong, reread rule 1!

Warning : Eat pork at your own risk!



Upon entering Riblee's, we were warmly greeted and led to a table for two. Despite being seated at a corner with less dim light, I requested a table for four with comfortable couch and bright dim light. No later than 5 minutes, the supervisor (I presume) actually preferred us to be seated at that particular corner. It questioned me immediately, "Are you literally asking us to get our ass off to that table AGAIN?" Indeed, they insisted and so we went back to initial table.


The real shandy

Honestly, this post wasn't meant to be a criticism on their services. If the foods are scrumptious to retain a picky customer like me, I mean, I would rather wait despite it's a long wait! I'm always skeptical about going to a new restaurant but by judging at the patrons on that day, I would say, the bad services kinda prove me wrong.


Smokey Rolls - RM18.80

It took them 30 minutes to prepare, fried to crispy perfection and lastly served. I was really mad,uber MAD. Honestly, I had never eaten ferociously!


Classic American Babyback - RM39.90

When we asked the supervisor for recommendation, he advised us on skipping roast wild boar ribs as it's quite stiff and tough hence we opted for classic american babyback. So we waited 30 minutes for starter and later we waited for another 30 minutes for main course. Look, do you get the whole picture? One particular disappointment is that riblee's babyback ribs has lost its originality as barbeque sauce had masked the classic flavour. It would be perfecto without needing any sauce.

Riblee's babyback ribs was classified as signature dish and I do like it. The meat was coated with rich black pepper sauce on the outside, and soft and fork-tender on the inside. It was good and substantial but I still find Healy's Mac ribs is the best! The presentation was nicely done especially the pigtail fries, opps I meant curly fries!



Despite an hour waiting for the food, the supervisor compensated us a dessert. As such, vanilla ice cream with chunks of orea, drizzled with chocolate syrup was served no later than 10 minutes. And I reckon the supervisor has done a great a job in compensating us by serving ice-cream to cool down the fire burning in my body. I'm still mad nevertheless!

Believe it or not, the food managed to retain me and I'd say it's place I'd recommend, and hopefully with better service on your visit. Don't say I never warn you! The service proved to be polite, however, a tad inefficient. The waiter had to continually come back to our table to inform us that we have to wait several minutes as they were preparing the food. Few minutes later, they came back with same sentence too. Anyway, rest assured that you'll like the food!
