Dirty duck diner


How did they derive with the name 'Dirty Duck', well here's the story..

When they were building the restaurant, they thought long and hard about a name. Many good suggestions came from friends, but none seemed just right.

They knew they wanted a Balinese name that translated well into English. However, for a long time the metaphor eluded them.

One tropical monsoon morning, when the restaurant was very close to being finished (They had the concrete floor down, and the tables in ), a flock of ducks from the rice field across the road ( yes, there were rice fields all around them then ) ran quacking and squawking into the restaurant and across the floor and tables. They left muddy webbed footprints all over the place. They were the first guests - those dirty ducks !



The signature dish



Sambal banana leave wrapped fish


I draw good bubbly!
