I had the opportunity to grab Ramly Burgers twice during my diving trip to Tioman over the last weekend. As manly already know, Ramly Burgers over there are quite the different thing from the ones locally. The unique thing about this burger was that there is no fixed recipe. Whether it's a tasty one or not, was very much dependent on the person cooking it. Variations are abound and it's one of the surprises to look forward to when having a Ramly grease bomb.
The first burger I got came from a rest stop at Kota Tinggi. It's also the double special with 2 patties and egg. Noticed that the guy preparing the burger sliced the meat patty into halves almost all the way through and spread them onto the pan while adding some chilli powder. This thoroughly cooked the patty, a step which many of the Ramli "chefs" get by using another method of simply making incisions into the meat and pressing them hard on the pan instead. This guy also actually provided tomatoes, sliced onions and lettuce in the bun as compared to the ones made back home that usually only have dried shredded lettuce.
Look it! I'm getting hungry typing this.
Now check out the bite view!
On the way back after the boat trip, we made a stop which happened to have another Ramly stand nearby. I had to get one of them again. This time round, there were no onions. Just a slice of cucumber and that ubiquitous dry shredded lettuce which one of the stall's guys was shredding. Also, these two guys seemed more clumsy during the preparation of the burger than the one I had earlier which was also clearly better tasting. These fellas tend to get flustered at large orders and forget ingredients like the chilli powder for some of the orders. They also seem to be making the bread from some pre-"margarined" burger buns in plastic packs.
Now for the bite view.
