Burgers galore!!!

OK, I am finally back in Petaling Jaya to visit my parents and brother because of the tuition-free week.  Celebrated my fifth day here by having my car get hit from behind last night.  The bad part is that it wasn't actually my car...it was my dad's car, which I borrow to drive around every time I come back here.  Enough about that though, I'm not here to rant about accidents.  I'm here to rant about BURGERS.

One particular evening, a friend and I somehow decided to talk about food.  I don't remember the whole conversation but I'm glad he broached the subject of burgers.  The McDonald's Grilled Chicken Burger (GCB) was 'released' just a few weeks ago, and sometimes, rumours abound about the local McD running out of GCB burgers until new stock arrives.  Fellow blogger/"brother in engineering" Dzim is one of the few people I know who tried it earlier that week.  

Above is a picture of it unwrapped.  I won't say it's the tastiest burger around, but it was OK.  But in the future, I'd rather order my usual double cheeseburger combo meal rather than the GCB, largely due to the price.  Double cheeseburger combo is approximately RM 7++(around USD $2.50), compared to RM 9+(around USD $3.50) of a GCB a la carte.  You can call me thrifty or whatever, but I prefer to get more at a lower price, compared to a single meal at a higher price.

And then there is the Kinky Fat Chef Kitchen (KFCK) in Piasau.  The weird part is that I can draw maps and tell people the directions to get there, but I had never tried anything from that particular eatery.  My friend joked about wanting to punch me for admitting that  Thank goodness I finally had the chance to try something from there last week, thanks to Dzim once again (I think I might forever associate you with burgers).  So, along with our geologist sister Zura, we went to KFCK to order burgers.

I think KFCK has no problem with advertisements and all that, because in Miri, word of mouth is still the best  method of spreading news.  When it comes to food, I trust my fellow Mirians *big smile*.  Ordered a grilled beef burger with homemade special sauce (don't know what it's made of, but it has a kinda sweet taste to it), and I must say, YUM! The patty is homemade, not the typical bought-from-a-store patties used by several burger stalls in Miri.  A few friends advised against ordering the black pepper sauce, but it's probably more to preference.  I might try it in the future.  Anyway, do check out KFCK's Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/KinkyFatChefKitchen . Support the Miri food industry. *bigger smile*

The final burger on my list is from Burger King, something with "XL" and "Supreme" in it, I've forgotten its full name.  Tried out the beef version at Desa Sri Hartamas a few days ago.

OK...so it's not as long as they claim it to be (I used to think that only guys do that *cough*).  Too bad I forgot to take a snapshot of this burger.  The taste was just alright, though I felt that it had too much onion in it, so I had to scrape most of them aside.  Had to 'rinse out' the onion-y taste by drinking lots of Coke, quite a bad decision.  

But the most traumatic aspect of this experience is, I believe, shown in the advertisement below:

GOOD GRIEF! *faints*
