My burgers were made for the spoilt. I personally have my burgers with a thick patte of medium rare or medium piece of meat (my first choice is always beef) plastered between two-pillow like buns with blue cheese dressing/Texas style BBQ sauce/Wasabi/Olive Mustard/Ranch Dressing/Sloppy Joes sauce/Brown Sauce. Not forgetting that they must be generously garnished with fresh and plump veges (preferably) rockets.

Oh, and I usually have a fork and knife placed next to my burger, but girls like me rarely give a damn about table etiquette when messy food is supposed to be best enjoyed when it gets all over you.

So when I get this Facebook invite from Cerventus, I knew it would be a good break from all that RPG addiction to ‘Tales of Symphonia, The New Dawn’.

A look at the menu and it’s all the same ‘ol; same ‘ol stuff. First you’d have to decide what kind of meat you want. The choice is as obvious as chicken, beef, processed fish fillet and hot dog. You then later decide if you’d like two pâtés and if you’d like to make it “special” by wrapping it omelette-style with cheese.

If you have trouble making up your mind, Don’t ever ask “Mr. Pakcik” what he would recommend. He’ll tell you everything is good >:)

Most of the burgers pâtés were pre-cooked resting in a metal basin next to the flaming grill. You get your burgers tossed and toasted by him, while his wife will pack the burgers and get your moolah in return.

Don’t go all pretentious if you find yourself over there about how guilty a bite would make u feel or how it will choo-choo it’s way to your hips. Of course Malaysian food is not healthy but grease and junk food is more kind to the tastebuds.

My verdict: For an affordable burger (RM5.00) my Double Daging Special (double beef pâté with cheese, wrapped egg, mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce and diced onions) was worth skipping dinner for.

It’s a sloppy mess to eat (just the way I like it) with a burst of mild honeyed spice, slight tangy, and salty-ness of the pâtés. It must be eaten fresh from the grill IMHO or the buns would just soak up on so much grease, mayo and chilli sauce, the burger becomes nothing more than a cold soggy lump of meat between flattened bread.

The bread is lightly toasted on the grill to warm it up and give it a slight singe and crusty edge. The diced onions keep up with their own crunch. Nothing compared to my usual Gourmet Burgers, but this is cheap and good. (Peng, Leng, Zheng)

Pakcik sells at least 200 burgers/hotdogs a day (Woah!). He’s even featured in some short film, is in the MAS travel magazine.

Of course, it would be plausible to conclude from the next few photos that yummy Happy Burgers make Happy People.

Pakcik’s Ramly burger stall is located here. Right across the Menara Putri Kojaya Condos, between MARDEC/ISKL and SPCA off Jalan Kerja Ayer Lama.
