Burger King @ Sri Hartamas

Burger King Corp. (BKC) is the second largest fast food hamburger chain in the world with more than 11,200 restaurants in all 50 states and 69 countries and U.S. territories worldwide. BKC was founded in 1954 in Miami, Fla., by James McLamore and David Edgerton. The WHOPPER® sandwich was introduced in 1957 and quickly became one of the best-known sandwiches in the world.

It was quite sometime ago I had not tasted Burger King. So off I went with my wife. I order a BBQ Cheese Burger set and Black Pepper Whopper for my wife. The luncheon was good and I find that the meat were really tender. The Whopper is indeed a tummy filling one as my wife could not finish it and I had to chomp up the remaining. But still, we did not finish our french fries. Just too full!!

The Black Pepper Whopper Set Meal @ RM12.95 ++
The Black Pepper whopper - A flame-broiled beef patty topped with red ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, creamy mayo, kethcup, crunchy pickles, and oninons with Black Pepper sauce, all on a toasted sesame seed bun. Really a tasty burger!

The BBQ Cheese Burger @ RM7.95++
One flamed-broiled beef patty topped with melted American Cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard all on a toasted sesame seed bun. A masterpiece of simplicity!

Prawn Mee @ Restoran Chinatown Pavillion


Went for a quick lunch at The Chinatown Pavillion Restaurant located at Jalan Sultan. A hot bowl of Prawn Mee always makes for a deliciously satisfying lunch. A standard bowl of Prawn Mee comes with small shrimp, half a hard-boiled egg, kangkung vege and lots of fried onions. But this stall in the restaurant has 'Fu-Chuk' included too.


The prawn mee just tasted normal. I think what makes a bowl of hot noodle soup actually lies in the soup itself. The soup base was actually too sweet for my liking but they did gave some reasonable portion of shrimps. Not so much of spicy. So I had to eat along with the chilli paste that in a way did make the noodle more tasty. If they could add in pork slices then it would be so much better. Anyway, it still fills up my stomach. The meal costs me RM4.00.
