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.

Love and Hate KL

It's a love and hate relationship that I have with good old KL. I grew up in this town, and I say town because I have lived in the big city - New York City. You can't really compare the two, but as I start to feel the cold coming on in the city, I was thinking about my little town.... The Positive first. I Love KL. Food! Any Malaysian would tell you that. Family and Amazing Friends Large air conditioned Shopping Malls Warm all year round... Easy to Travel! Close to Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia...the list goes on Stylish People & Lifestyles Celebrations & Festivities *Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali... Highways I Hate You. It's just too small. Everyone knows what you're up to, including your nosy relatives. Expensive Groceries! (I love to cook, so this sucks) Thai Food sucks here.....and I love Thai food! Mat Rempit (Sleezy Biker dudes/gangstas) they need their own category. Apparently Bath Tubs are not in every home or apt.....

To Blog or Not to Blog...in the digital age.

It's taken me awhile to decide on whether or not to blog. I always thought it would be an easy and natural thing for me to do. I just never had time to do it when I lived in NYC. I was too busy living a fast-paced life with work, friends and events always taking precedence over anything else. I barely went online unless it was for work. I went online on my phone only when I had time to kill, waiting for the train or waiting for a doctor's appointment. I even did some shopping from my phone (I just love my www.Gilt.com fix). I don't think I ever powered up my computer at home. So now, since I have all the time in the world - I thought well, why not blog? I finally have the time to do it right? I realized though that now I'm sharing my thoughts with anyone and everyone. It's personal - it's much harder to do now that I realize that.  I'm going to just take a leap of faith and share myself with everyone...how generous right? Call it therapeutic. Call it moti...
