Although Cosmos Burger is a recently opened eatery, they already gained so many recognition among the local residents for their mouth-watering selections of burgers.

If you love beef burger with lots of mustard just like the ones you saw on TV, this one is for you.

Started their operation just last year in November, Burger Village Café has now become the ‘it’ place for pork lovers.

Astana Grilled Burger is a humble road side stall offering lip-smacking ‘Burger Bakar’. Upon first bite, you will instantly know you loved it, the grilled style bun is lovely with a nice crust and it is a perfect fit with the meat, just the right amount of bread to meat ratio. Topped with the usual ingredients – salad, tomato, cheese, chilli sauce and mayonnaise, but what made people keep on coming back for more is the meat. The patty is juicy, but a bit of lacking in taste of the house sauce but you won’t miss it too much. The beef is good, not great, could have been seasoned better and certainly not the quality of a John Dewar. Nevertheless, it is still worth a try and make you go, “Not bad at all.”

For a small burger joint that is located at a humble car porch, Project Burger is surely one of a kind.

Which is pretty impressive for a small stall. The most recommended dish here is the Pork Burger. It consists of a mouth-watering pork patty with mirin-cured bacon sandwiched between toasted homemade brioche buns. If you want a little extra, add on additional toppings such as Bacon, Poached Egg or Cheese. With such quality burger at such a low price, Project Burger should be on your must-try burger list. 

MK Classico Caffe is owned by the same owner of RJ Ayam Penyet and Ayam Bakar. However, this pretty double storey cafe serves mainly western food. Diners love dropping by here just to get their signature dish, the Grilled Lamb Burger. Served in a big portion, the burger comes with curly fries, calamari, and a bowl of gravy as the sides. The bun is firm but fresh and all the right ingredients in it seems like it is made by a burger connoisseur. The meat itself is warm enough that whenever you took a bite it felt like the burger melted in your mouth. Big patties, loads of sauces, and melted cheese, this would be one of the best burger you’ll ever have.
