Smash Street, Amoy Street

Finally got to try Smash Street (50 Amoy Street). Space is narrow and the ventilation here isn't great so be prepared to smell like burgers when you step out.

There's a Classic and the House. The former has 2 patties and the latter has 3. This was a House which I requested for sauce on the side but there was still some sauce in it. Thankfully it wasn't overdone.

I like this. With some sauce and pickles, the meat and cheese came through like how I like them. Buns were soft but held up. May try with other toppings another time.

They forgot my pickles so I had to get some later and stuff them in myself.

Fries are good here.

Cornflakes flavoured milkshake. Pretty sweet.

McDonald’s x Old Chang Kee's Curry Potato Chicken Burger

McD and Old Chang Kee's "collab". Burger looked ugly when it was unwrapped. Like a pouty clam. 😂

I kinda like this one because of the curry potatoes which together with the egg and chicken made it a little reminiscent of the OCK puff. Chicken had a crunchy skin with what I thought to be a hint of ginger.

One week later......

So here's the double meat version. Fried chicken doesn't stack well for a hand held sandwich and those curried potato cubes were falling out much faster than the single meat version. The potato-to-chicken ratio was kinda "imbalanced" if you catch my drift.

Preserved olive vegetable chicken fried rice from Tea Garden

Last meal before flying back. It's back to Tea Garden again - not that there's much options at Subang Airport. Just to trivia drop here, preserved olive vegetable (橄榄菜) is actually made from mustard greens simmered with olives (and other stuff). It's not the leaves from the olive plant. The product is salty, sweet and umami at the same time and makes great flavouring for...many things.

Anyways, decent rendition of the fried rice. Would prefer it if there were more of the preserved olive vegetable. The bits of chicken in there were really tiny. There were also a few goji berries in there. Yup, it's just a few. 

Duck Duck Fried Kuey Teow (得得地), ICC Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

More food from ICC Pudu (Jalan Kijang, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur 55100). We were curious about what made the duck kuey teow special since the name of what they sold was much larger than the name of the stall on the signage. I gather that duck eggs have a richer flavour from what I've read but I'm not getting any of that here. Tasted like regular kuey teow. There's not even much duck eggs in the plate. Not memorable.

Bobby's Burgers, The Exchange TRX, Kuala Lumpur

So Bobby's Burgers is named after a satirical character Bobby Saputra - a fictitious billionaire, playboy philanthropist heir to a bottled water empire. This character is amusing. Haha. Anyways, his burger shop has an outpost at the basement of TRX (C.59.0 Concourse Level, The Exchange TRX, Imbi, 55188 Kuala Lumpur). I really need to figure out how to decipher addresses in Malaysia from Google.

The menu's pretty simple. A couple of burgers, a couple of fries and drinks. This was Bobby's Double featuring Angus smash patties, onions, pickles and cheese with less Billionaire's Sauce.

It's actually quite nice. I'm attributing it partially to having less sauce in the burger so I could taste the other items. I guess this configuration fell in the "correct" ratio where the "other" items like onions and pickles didn't mask the meat and cheese. Tallow fries were quite good too. Flavour wasn't like how I remembered them from Omakase Burger though.

Bintang Coffee (星咖), ICC Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

Tried a claypot coffee from this stall at ICC Pudu (Jalan Kijang, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur 55100). The taste was similar to Claymug Coffee - meaning Hainanese styled and not particularly fragrant. Not a fan.
