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

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. 😂

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

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

Tea Garden, preserved olive vegetable chicken fried rice

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.

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

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.

Bobby's Burgers, bobby's double

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

Bintang Coffee (星咖), kopi

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.

Noticed this stall at ICC Pudu (Jalan Kijang, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur 55100) and was curious about what made the poh piah crispy.

Got a regular one and another topped with chicken floss. The floss was stuck to the poh piah by a drizzle of something that might be peanut sauce.

The wrap was loose and the rolls fell apart as we tried to pick up each slice. The fillings included some fried batter which made them pretty crunchy as poh piah went. The one with pork floss seemed to have more fresh vegetables and less stewed turnip compared to the regular one.
