First meal of the year, I met up with A lil fat Monkey at El Meson Bangsar before heading out to the karaoke session at the Curve with Hairyberry, YKH, LL, Chuiz, CY, Cheryl and Bari.
Many food bloggers have covered this place rather extensively on dinner, so let me just say that for just RM35, you can have a Set Tapas lunch of 2 tapas of your choice, plus either a glass of wine or beer. This is a pretty good deal considering a glass of wine could already set you back by that sum alone.
These meat balls, the Albondigas were delicious. A mix of pork and beef, it had a slight crust.. batter perhaps. Sauteed mushrooms were our second choice and this was good too. The sauce was really creamy but not as garlicky as the La Bodega Champinones. For me I still prefer the way LB does it.
On the Lunch Menu is the ‘Ultimate Pork Burger’. Priced at RM26, you have a rather ‘condensed’ burger with a real gamy taste to it. The portion is not big, but the sheer meatiness of it was enough for me. If you like your pork burgers very salty, strong-tasting and really ‘porky’ , this is it. Add a generous portion of back-bacon fried to a crisp, mushrooms and cheese, and what you have before you is a compact, satisfying carnivore’s meal, sandwiched between two sesame buns!
Point to consider: Why is it that we are seeing an increasing rise in the occurrence of Pork Burgers these days? Is this the tipping point? Is this a passing fad/trend..? is it plain beef boredom? Please feel free to comment.
Monkeying around.. my face is pretty black from the sun as we just got back from Ko Lipe.
Ciki and A lil Fatmonkey DIG this place!

its the trend mah..
funny how they serve pork burgers but they show a bull on their menu, wheres the oink oink love on the menu?
haha.. true about the bull. but they do serve that too.. anyway the true on the trend but enough already huh, ya think?
I’ll die to have the pork burger! I haven’t seen a trend/fad in Melbourne just yet.
wow, really? maybe there are enough pork dishes and restaurants to not have a need for it?
I think i’ve said well enough on my blog today… we’re all in love with Pork. Plus our love for all porky goodness has been surpressed until lately, so it’s only fair for us to rebel against other meat and indulge is this non-halal meat
yar but like.. NUFF oredi! hehe
Oh btw, larveleee shots, love the wine and burger pic
thx munkey boy!
yay! pork burger, i will go check it out
Need. More. Pork. Burgers.
Welcome home! *hugs* Missed ya.
thx
Pork burger for RM26??? I’m so there!!
well.. after eating many burgers.. I do feel personally tht pork burgers a re somewht juicier, even the beef burger at Dome (RM26) (or less/more) wasn’t juicy enough.
Maybe I should try Daily Grind’s to find out.. whr else does a good beef burger?
really ar – i am not sure it will pass your tastebuds though ..
i like pork burgers, but it’s time for the next fad! how about hybrid burgers… a succulent burger containing both pork and beef, or chicken and duck, or perhaps a carnivore’s extravaganza: a burger that has pork, beef, lamb, chicken, duck, venison, turkey and ostrich all in one!!!
Sokong! one clear voice.. yay!
maybe they prefer to do non-muslim business? and sell alcohol to make the whole place more non-halal friendly.
A few restaurant I go also slowly fill in pork menu which once a non-pork place. is it a trend? Who knows maybe Kobe Pork coming soon… haha
kobe pork!?!! wow.. hehe, we shall see.. maybe ur on to something
The ultimate pork burger for RM 26 – pretty reasonable, even if the portion is small, especially when you say it tastes game-y. I like gamey.
porky and extremely salty .. yup
Looks like a nice place to dine….
Pork burgers, errrr….I’ll just stick to Ramly Burger…
i like em all.. but I like em staggered and not repeated for at least a month!
for a hardcore babitarian like me… gamey is nothing
Now I only have to time perfectly so that the little princess can actually dine with us without causing any ruckus
excellent!
That tapas set is reasonable…with wine or beer! I think I’ll go for the pork burger, since burgers are more my thing!
*Welcome back gorgeous!*
or go for BOTH!
wah!!! good food followed by a karaoke session…sounds like my kinda thang…hehe….oh, let’s not forget a good dinner after that as well.. ;D
true nic! sokong!
Didn’t know u syook KTV oso
now u know
Looking good babe! hey how do you eat that burger? I always divide them into different layers to eat them – meaning bun, filling & vege. Lol…
i just eat it laidat!
pork = loveeee
yar i know u like ur pork burgers.. but how about a pork hybrid.. like pork beef or pork venison or something:p
It;s probably cz everyone gettin sick of beef burger nowadays. McD has them since I was born. That’s why …..
While those Ramly burger stalls have only beef n chicken.
How nice if one can get pork burgers at the Warung everywhere.
Warung and pork .. the two word cannot possibly go hand in hand.. ahem
