Big Bob Burger and Coffee @ PJ

It's been aaaaaages since Bravo and I have been on an official foodscapade mission, and we finally accomplished it over the weekend!

What better way to reignite the foodie fun than with burgers. There's one I'd always wanted to try - Big Bob Burger and Coffee at the revamped Atria Shopping Gallery.

Big Bob Burger and Coffee
The entrance to the parking at the mall was tricky to find but we eventually found it. Then, there was the fun of winding our way up the levels to finally find free lots. Then, down the cargo lifts to the mall, walked all the way to the other end of the mall and finally we're at our destination!

The burger selection.
It wasn't too difficult a decision to make when it came down to ordering.

I got the Classic Cheese Burger while Bravo's choice was the Most Wanted - which was similar to mine except it's got the extra sliced beef in it. We both got the combo which comes with a Coke, and either a side of French Fries (+RM6.90) or Onion Rings (+RM7.90).

Classic Cheese Burger (RM.23.90) and the Most Wanted (RM25.90).
The burgers were pretty sizeable - almost as big as my hand haha.. The patties were juicy and uber beefy nomnomnom! I only wish the onions were cooked. The onion rings were yum but a tad salty. But otherwise, the whole experience was good. Could barely finish the whole thing though. And for once, neither of us could fit dessert in. Shocking but so very true.

Verdict: Pretty good burgers. Think I'd just share one next time, or maybe try their pizzas or pancakes or waffles mmm...

Fun fact from Bravo - the importance of equalising pressure to avoid pain in the ears when diving. Had no idea till now!

Yut Kee Restaurant KL

Why, hello again! It's been quite a busy few months of a hiatus and I've finally got some sort of a breather for a post for the brand new year!

Today, I was introduced to Yut Kee Restaurant in the heart of town. My partner in crime notes that this establishment's signature is their chicken chop. Throngs of people have been known to flock here and in true Asian style, queue up for the food. Today was no different but the wait wasn't long, and it helped that our tummies weren't growling (loudly).

Yut Kee Restaurant
I quite liked the interior, with its old-fashioned feel. The tables and chairs brought back fond memories of my grandparents' home.

The old-world interior of Yut Kee.
Right, enough blabbering. On to the serious stuff.

The steamed bread with kaya wasn't bad. Although I would have preferred it to be crisper but it's steamed so up to personal preference! The butter was good though - can't go wrong with New Zealand butter eh? ;)

Marble cake was good. Period. Super buttery, which makes everything just that more heavenly and sinful.

Steamed bread with kaya and marble cake (RM1.20).
Now, on to the mains.

Chicken Chop (RM9.50) and Roti Babi (RM9).

Not that I've had much experience with chicken chop but this version of Chicken Chop is not what I'm used to. It's drenched in brown sauce with sides of potatoes, veggies, and overcooked onions. Not a huge fan of sloppy chicken skin but the meat and everything else was ok.

The Roti Babi however, really played to my tastebuds! For the uninitiated, it's basically French toast filled with fried pork in between. Nom Nom Nom!!! What made it even better was the crunch of the sengkuang. Not sure what it is in English but it's some sort of turnip. I could eat this everyday.

Verdict: Happy and full foodies. Good thing we didn't order another main or we'd be stuffed and the afternoon's calorie-burning regime would have been an epic fail.

If you're a fan of old-style settings and good old fashioned sinful fare, give Yut Kee a visit.
