PORKIE AFFAIR | Oinkz Burger Section 17, PJ

Non-halal night out.

So one of our friends stumble upon Oinkz through Foursquare and suggested we try it out for dinner since we didn't have anything specific in mind at that moment. So a bunch of us headed there.

Oinkz is located at the outdoor area of a kopitiam (coffee shop) in Sec 17, PJ. Day time I presume the kopitiam operated with hawker stalls and all and night time when it's closed, this bunch of young guys use it to run their pork burger business :) So it's pretty interesting. It's a very laid back and simple makan environment (sorry forgot to take pics of the place :p) and you a variety of people coming here - families, elderly couple, youngsters, kids and all.

So to the food. After reading reviews, majority of us decided to order the Hanbo. We also added the Roti Babi as a side, just to try.

Hanbo - RM12

(Pork patty with bacon, egg, cheese, caramelized onions and fried mushrooms)

Add RM4 for a can of soft drink and fries to make it a set. 

Verdict: Reasonable burgers if you don't feel like splurging on those gourmet ones. Of course, you won't get gourmet quality here but you are not getting Ramly-street-style quality either so it's sort of the in-between version. Generally there's nothing wrong with the burgers and they taste like what they should but I was a little disappointed with the can drink came in 250ml size, not the full 325ml size. Oh and they also provide plastic gloves for you as they don't have a washing area so with the gloves you won't get your hands dirty (thumbs up for that!) =)

If you're looking for a reasonable burger joint to hangout with some friends in a no frills environment, head here!

Tips: They ran out of some stuff the night I was there i.e selection of drinks, mushrooms and some others so we couldn't order the Braised Spicy Pork Belly as they wanted to save their ingredients for other customers. So I suggest to avoid disappointment, try to head there early especially on weekends.

BreadFruits

Mother's Birthday.

Upon the recommendation of a friend, I decided to bring my family to BreadFruits (Sri Hartamas) for mum's birthday dinner and boy, were we very pleased. Absolutely loved what we ordered! Apparently, they just started serving dinner a couple of months back but mind you, although the dinner menu is relatively new, the food they serve is worth a two-thumbs up!

 Butcher's Paella (RM44.80) - Generous serving of paella with chorizo and chicken pieces. Very flavourful, well spiced and well cooked.

 Mushroom Wild Field Salad (RM19.80) - My personal fav! Fresh, juicy sauteed mushrooms sitting on a bed of fresh lettuce, rockets and cherry tomatoes.

Szechuan Paprika Pork Belly (RM28.80) - Eight slices of juicy grilled pork belly served with szechuan sauce. Comes with fresh greens, cherry tomatoes and purple japanese sweet potatoes. Compliments the meat so well.

Lemon Dill Seafood Stew (RM34.90) - Mum's fav. Fresh squid rings, clams and a whole fried fish cooked in a somewhat light creamy lemon based sauce. They also add celery and ginger in the sauce so it gives a very Asian taste to the dish. The dish is also served with potato wedges, sourdough bread, grapes and sour cream dip.

'Twas a very satisfying meal and needless to say we left with happy faces and tummies!
