MyBurgerLab @ Mytown, Cheras

-
Follow my food account @fixingcravings on IG for more daily food reviews!
 It was a late Sunday night and I was just scrolling through Instagram, catching up with everyone's Instastories, going on the explore page and stalking food accounts (I stalk food, not people). I spend a good half an hour, staring at pictures of burgers, which is rather rare as I don't fancy burgers. I then went to bed that night with a huge craving for burgers. I was literally having a mad attack for burgers.

 The next day, I was still craving for a goddamn burger ok. The only place that came to my mind that could possibly fix that craving of mine was MyBurgerLab so I went and search for their Instagram. Andddd..... guess what? That very week, MyBurgerLab opened a new outlet in Cheras! I literally shouted "OMGGGG YAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS (it was a long one)!" aloud and started telling my friends and family about it! So that's my little story. 

 I had always wanted to try MBL but their other outlets are too far from where I stay and it's really inconvenient to get there. The next day itself, dad and I went to MBL for lunch. We went there around 12:30pm and it was already almost full. Minutes later, they had to put up the "45 mins waiting time" sign up. Yup, it really was an exciting week for us Cheras peeps.
Ultraman (RM19) aka The Salted Egg Yolk Burger 
 It's description says that it is their "Famous salted egg yolk burger paired with a mild curry mayo slathered over a Thai style marinated fried chicken thigh". Honestly, I wasn't quite sure about pairing salted egg yolk with Thai tasting food? Still, I gave it a go anyway because it sounds the most interesting one. The burgers do take longer than usual to arrive but good things take time and the burgers here are prepared upon order which is what I like about them. One of the main reason why I don't eat burgers is because I don't eat processed meat or pre-cooked meat.

The first bite. It was amazing. I was Wow-ed. To watch my reaction, click here [3:30]. The salted egg yolk goes so well with the Thai marinated chicken. I loved the Thai flavouring of the chicken. I savoured every bite. The only thing I have to say is that the fried chicken was a bit too oily. A thing that turns me off when it comes to food is the oil. I had to take a tissue and dab off some of the oil. Do note that this burger might make a bit of a mess from the egg yolk sauce. The chicken was really juicy, i'm serious. I rate this 9/10.
Pretty sure you've heard of the famous burger joint, In-N-Out in the States right? Well, this is their The In-N-Out Tribute (RM23.50). It's description says that it is a "Double sharp cheddar beef patty seared with mustard + secret sauce".  I don't eat beef so only dad tried it and he said that it was good. To watch his reaction, click here [4:24]
 Now this, ladies and gentleman, is what we call a burger. If this does not fix anyone's burger cravings, I don't know what else would do. This is their Bait & Switch (RM17). It's description says that it is a "Fried chicken thigh paired with spicy and tangy bell pepper relish, cilantro, red onions and Kelantanese Budu sauce".

 As much as I love the Ultraman, I would choose this over it as I love a kick of tanginess, sourness and spice in my food. This felt like a summer holiday in my mouth. The cilantros and red onions really gave it a more fresh and raw flavour. This is definitely a more savoury burger.
As for the sides (pay additional RM4.50), there are choices of fries, nachos or their umami mashed potato with either beef gravy or mushroom gravy. I had the Mashed Potato with mushroom gravy. Nothing much to shout about though my friend ordered the fries which are seasoned with fresh Rosemary and Thyme and it was good. It is just at the perfect fries size.

OVERALL VERDICT: 

Food: 8.5/10 

Price: 6/10 [$$] Quite pricey but you do get a good portion of it {big chicky} and for the one of a kind flavour combinations in a burger. 


Ambiance: Service at the MyTown outlet was really slow but I get that they've just opened and their workers are still under training. *update as of July'18* [They now have a counter at the front where you order and pay ots like in MCD's and then you'll get a beeper thing, and when your food is ready, you'll have to collect it yourself]


Would I Return?: Yes! I'm still waiting for the Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang, Bulbasaur and the rest of the gang to arrive at this outlet! *update as of July'18* [The whole gang is now there]

Is Eating Suki-Ya As A Vegetarian Worth It?

-

EAT WHAT LEH?  Last month, my friend and I went to Suki-ya for lunch. As you know, the best part about Shabu-Shabu is the free flow of meats. We planned this in January, before I went on my meat-less diet. I didn't want to cancel the lunch as it was my treat for my friend's birthday and we had been waiting for it for months. As the days got nearer to our lunch date, I thought to myself "What exactly am I going to eat? Will it still be worth the money if I don't eat the meats?". We went there on a Friday afternoon and it was really crowded and if not mistaken, there weren't any empty tables. I did called a week before to make reservations but they said that they only allow walk-ins now.      If you're unfamiliar with Suki-Ya, it is a Japanese restaurant. They have ala carte dishes but people mainly go for their all you can eat buffet. There's the buffet bar that has a good selection of items for your hot pots, a variety of sushi, dippin

Newly Opened Starbucks Reserve @ Four Seasons Place, KLCC!

Another Starbucks Reserve has recently opened in Kuala Lumpur and this time it is at Four Seasons Place. I'm not a regular at Starbucks so I didn't know that Starbucks Reserve was already around. Seeing that I was just nearby, I thought I would drop by to take a look and see how it differs from the ordinary Starbucks outlets. They kept the interior minimal and only has a statement decoration which is the lighting fixtures, that gives the whole space a modern yet sophisticated look. Below, is the coffee making space for the reserved bean's drinks. Right across is the normal ordering counter, cake displays, merchandise etc. I love this part of the cafe the most. Really love the dark grey walls that is decorated with copper decorations. I talked to one of the barista there and she told me that the ones that will be brewing the "Reserve" drinks are actual coffee masters. Pick the type of beans you want and the brewing method! They also hav

BEYOND VEGGIE by SECRET RECIPE @ BANGSAR SOUTH l VEGETARIAN

EAT WHAT LEH?   I've recently started becoming a vegetarian (literally 6 days ago) and no, it's not because of religious reasons. I'm not sure how long will I be vegetarian for but I would definitely try to stick to it as long as I can. Becoming a vegetarian is not a problem for me because I personally don't really fancy meats. The only problem is when it comes to eating outside. I had been on the internet so much recently, searching for vegetarian restaurants near me and I managed to come across few blogposts that really did helped a lot! This is also one of the reason why I am starting a blog. To help people to search for places to eat! So if you found this post, Ola! Allyna to the rescue! smirks    I went for a casting at The Vertical (opposite Bangsar South) and decided to go for a quick lunch as there were around 10 people before me. There were many restaurants at Bangsar South but now that I'm a vegetarian, I thought why not give Beyond Veggie a try
