Uncle Ben’s Burger Babi @ Ming Tien, Taman Megah – PORK BURGERS!!

Another Pork Burger place tried, tested & reviewed! 😉

I got to know about this place from a reader, many thanks to her for leaving a comment & attaching the FB link in one of my post; or else I wouldn’t have known about this Uncle Ben Burger Babi.

I admit I was a bit put off by the name at first; well… I mean using the word “babi” so literally! It sounded rude somehow?
But let’s ignore that for now & focus on the food instead..

When I visited the FB page, I was immediately fascinated, for it was declared on the side bar:
“We’ll defy anyone to find a better meal than ours! Our meal is a perfectly balanced ensemble of 100% PREMIUM PORK patty, cooked to perfection, with oozing MELTED CHEESE and served with fine cuts of VEGETABLES. All wrapped up in a hot toasted bun.”

Wow! That’s like Uncle Ben calling out my name -” becky becky, come try my porky patty! ” Heh!

The opportunity came rather unexpected yesterday when a certain event left all of us hungry enough to eat a pig, literally. And luckily for us, Uncle Ben Burger Babi opened their 2nd outlet (stall) in Ming Tien Food Court yesterday as well! A good sign; I thought.

Leisure Inn KL – The Preferred Business Lodge!

I’m always appreciative of budget hotels; simply cos they provide, what else.. the most cost effective method for lodging while I splurge my hard earned cash on shopping! 😉

Though I do not have high criteria for budget hotels, knowing that it is budget and all, I do expect at the very least, SAFETY & CLEANLINESS.

My accommodation in Singapore was pretty cool – Prince of  Wales Backpackers’ Hostel was clean, conveniently located & affordable.

And I was most pleased to say the same for Leisure Inn, after I viewed their rooms during the launch just days ago.

Pork Burger – Brussels, Jaya One

I came here under the recommendation of a reliable foodie who knows her burgers.

And I came here for the burger alone as I have never remembered food at Brussels to be memorable. So one can say this was a pretty straightfoward mission; get to Brussels, get a table, get my order fired & wait to devour the burger & split out my judgement.

The other half kept himself occupied with a Leffe, while eyeing me drumming my fingers impatiently for the burger. I just couldn’t wait to satisfy my curiosity of this “moist, juiciest ever & thick porki-licious patty“, as such was the lip-smacking description communicated to me by my friend.
