From the very first dish my eyebrows were raised with the sight of thin, wiry pipefish heaped on top of lettuce leaves circled with salmon slices.
No it couldn’t be, I’ve told myself, all the while staring wide-eyed at these seahorse-looking creatures on top of my yee sang.

With such a lofty claim, a burger fanatic would really have to check them out right?

Now, let me make it clear. No, Burgertory doesn’t make the best burgers in town. I haven’t tried their BEEF burgers so I’ll judge that once I do. Right now myburgerlab still makes the best beef burgers (IMHO).
For PORK burgers alone, Andes at Aman Suria does a mean one, while Nambawan, a lesser known outlet yes, but serves no lesser quality pork burgers. But the pork burgers here at Burgertory sure beats the likes of Ante at Publika, Fat Boys, Sid’s Pub, Tom, Dick & Harry, The Hungry Hog, The Big Bad Wolf Bangsar and all the other pork burgers I have had so far in KL.

Five Sen5es @ The Westin, KL features a weekend All-You-Can-Eat Simply Dim Sum Lunch for RM68++ that I have been eyeing for quite some time now. During a recent visit, I was told that the Simply Dim Sum Lunch is valid on weekdays too; at a very reasonable price of RM48++ though selection may be slightly limited.

Now if any of you here wants to join me for the dim sum on a beautiful Sat/Sun morning, please give me a holler ok? 🙂 I have been craving for dim sum!

That aside, I was at Five Sen5es recently for dinner. Why the name Five Sen5es is a common question on everyone’s lips and I got the same query from my friends. Basically, the previous EEST of Westin KL as we know is now Five Sen5es with a revamped menu and a rather interesting concept of using all your sensory signatures of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell as you dine.

Let me illustrate this.
When I stepped into Five Sen5es recently my Five Sen5es experience begun with touring 5 different rooms. Each room serves to bring out one of your sensory system. We started with..

TASTE.

SoonDae Ya Korean Restaurant, Ampang Putra – for Korean dishes that’s out of the ordinary!

The primary reason I wanted to share about this place was because of the out-of-the ordinary dishes offered. I’m a bit jaded with the typical fare of Korean BBQ, bimbimbap and bulgogi, of which I’m sure most of us here share the same sentiments.

Here, a 3 page menu depicts all SoonDae Ya has to offer. Yes, options are few and straightforward. So are the furnishings and food.

For me, this is one of the better dim sum house around the area of PJ, Tropicana and Aman Suria.

Newly opened, it has amassed quite a following in its short period of business. The reason is apparent. The dim sum is tasty and it is not too expensive.

I find most, if not all (or at least for the ones I have sampled) of their dim sum really good, well prepared and wonderfully fresh.

Yes I know they are famous for pork ribs. But no, I didn’t order any.

That’s cos I’m a pork burger addict and I was having a major craving for pork burgers for ages, which has to be appeased pronto before I start PMS-ing on those around me. 😀

FOOD: Chicago Rib House – 1 Utama, the “NEW” Old Wing

I thought for a while before writing this review, even wondering if I should.

In the first place, I went to Chicago Rib House after reading many many raving reviews online. Secondly, after much thought, I’m pretty sure ours was an isolated case.

Hence, I’ll be fair here and while I’ll still be honest & share with you guys what happened, I’ll focus more on the taste of the PORK BURGER (yes, this is another of my pork burger series) than dwell on the unfortunate “food poisoning” incident.

To start off my porky lunch, I attempt to allay the guilt by ordering a salad. This Oriental Salad (RM15.90) caught my attention as the menu described that the salad cames with mandarins oranges and a peanut based sauce.
