MyBurgerLab Seapark PJ - meets the NYC standard.

The Hangover - nuff said.
I have been away from the states only a couple months now, and after feasting on lots of Malaysian staples - I find that I am yearning the simple basic American fare like salads, sandwiches and yes of course the all American classic - burgers and fries.

I have been looking high and low in chains, in mamaks and ok, maybe not McDonald's just yet. Thank goodness because I think I have found it. And let me tell you, These guys know it. They know In-and-Out, and they know shake shack. These are the west coast-east coast favorite arguable best spots for burgers in all of the US of A. Of course, I'm a New Yorker so naturally I'm going to favor my Shake Shack!

Ok let's get to the meat...MyBurgerLab is really Malaysia's answer to shake shack/In-N-Out) The burger patties/meat is quality premium Australian grass-fed beef, ground in house, clearly all beef and no fillers. For that alone, thank you @myBurgerLab, that's all I have been asking for!

Now, for the surprise - they have this strange black bun. Freshly made in house (love that) and they are black because of charcoal powder. I don't think the buns taste any different but I like their creativity here in trying to stand out.

Here is the bonus: they have really good, in what looks like hand cut potatoes fried coated in rosemary. The cherry on top is their special house sauce which seems to be some sort of aaoli or mayo with Sri racha or chili. Makes the perfect condiment or both burger and fries. Now, all I need is a superb, creamy milkshake and you have the perfect BFM (Burgers, Fries and Milkshake) combo! Hint, hint.

The only slight set back at MBL is the waiting time and limited quantities. Something I am all too familiar with, having waited hours to get into New York's best restaurants, so I'm not completely put off by that but I hope they fix it.

In conclusion, this joint delivers on my burger craving - super tasty, great quality ingredients and really affordable. For all of you who have never had the pleasure of shake shack or having a real good burger in the US, here is your chance, and it's right in here in a little ghetto spot in PJ - Selangor, Malaysia.

End of the World, or the beginning of a New one?

So guess what? It's not the end of the world. It just isn't. I didn't think it would be, but I actually thought it was only months ago...when I realized something had to end for something new to begin. Think about all the toxic, bad things in your life that you let happen to yourself. Think about that moment when it finally kicked you in the gut and awakened your inner soul. It had to kick you real hard in order for you to wake up. You were sleeping a deep sleep. You let all this nonsense, all this poison seep into your very pores. Why? You felt tolerant perhaps or you felt that you needed to feel pain or misery in order to achieve happiness and acceptance. Truth is you didn't need to suffer. You have the choice. You have the choice to make decisions in your life that are hard in that very moment but you realize later it needed to be done. I have been reborn. I have let go of toxins and cleansed my world of grief, sadness, misery and self depreciation. I urge you ...

Best Burger in KL?

Shake Shack Burger  I expected a lot coming back to Malaysia. One of them being the endless options for food. So I spent the first month just excited to taste and have all these Asian food experiences I have missed while living overseas. After awhile I was starting to feel overwhelmed by noodles and rice, and craved a real good salad or basic sandwich. Most of all - I remember having plenty of amazing juicy burgers in the city. That is the type of food I lived on for the last 12 years. Noodles and rice were a treat and rare for lunch unless it was Thai or Chinese. So now I'm in search of the perfect burger in Malaysia, and meat is expensive here because it is imported. Unfortunately because of the expense, most burgers you find here is pumped full of binder - breadcrumbs or filler so that the final cost of the product is cheaper (less meat). My standards are high and these are my top 3 Burgers spots in NYC, to which my burger tastings in Mala...
