Every suburb deserves its own burger parlor; with that philosophy in mind, starting this month, Setapak's residents can munch on Smashies burgers, a half-hour's drive from KL's city center.
Buns colored with natural ingredients are among Smashies' hallmarks. The charcoal-black ones will be familiar to fans of MyBurgerLab & the pink buns evoke Crayon Burger's red yeast creations; the more novel introductions are yellow buns laced with lentils & orange ones made faintly tangy with the Mandarin fruit.
Basic burgers here contain smashed beef patties, cheese, beef bacon, caramelized onions & hash browns, scoring reasonable marks for both juiciness & flavor. In other words, even though Smashies isn't exceptional, it's still enjoyable enough.
Well-versed customers might justifiably feel a been-there, eaten-that lethargy, but we'll keep a positive attitude toward Smashies. Sure, to use the cliche, there's 'nothing to shout about' here, but folks constantly looking for something to shout about can get irritating.
Other options here include an egg-endowed Annoying Orange (RM19 nett). Satisfyingly sloppy.
No lack of chicken choices: the Hot Chick (RM16) features fowl with pineapple, hot sauce & egg.
For the vegetarians: Twilight Bella (RM11), with a grilled portobella mushroom.
RM8 for Cajun-spiced fries? Billing error, we hope.
