What used to be a new and starting mamak stall had now grown into a fancy bistro where it serves almost literally everything. Tawakal Restaurant & Café used to be a simple stall but now it had been upgraded and given a whole new fresh breath. The restaurant now had been renovated bigger into two shop lots but still divided into two area – air-conditioned and non-air conditioned. It was much fancier and there is now even a roof top dine in area where you can eat under an open sky at the roof top – though I’d say the roof top was rarely open due to lots of birds and rainy, hazy weather.

The shop – which was located in the city center of Bentong, Pahang was a very popular shops amongst the people there. It is opened for 24hours every day through the week.

The shop interior was way better than before and the air – conditioned side, there’s even two rooms with glass wall for reservations if there’s any special occasions or even, a simple family gathering. The chairs are all new and there were a few new freezers that sells unique desserts by local entrepreneurs.

The menu ranges from the mamak food varieties to the authentic malay-thai food, western dishes and the amazingly delicious steamboat. As per usual, I am a true western food lover and hence, the dish of black pepper chicken chop with mashed potato dish served upon my plate.

I’d say, the dish was splendid. All full marks were given because there is not one flaws on my plate that night. The chicken was original and not store brought. It was pure chicken breast fried perfectly with the beautifully decorated vegetables. I shall emphasize here that the broccoli, cauliflowers and the capsicum were all drizzled with olive oil and then grilled to perfection with the right amount of flames. It was not too soft yet not too crunchy. Just a perfect partner for the sauce. The mashed potato makes me feel like I’m on cloud nine. It’s soft texture – almost to mousse form! – were amazing and it was seasoned well. And not to forget the lovely plating.The special drinks there were the 3 layered tea. The special tea was actually a layer of gula Melaka syrup, evaporated milk and brewed tea. You have to mix it well before drinking. Next time I’ll try their delicious looking steamboat. Tempting!

A recent craze here at Bentong, Pahang when a new franchise restaurant open recently. It’s no other than Deen Burger Bakar. This unique kind of burgers have been catching the heart of burger lovers and now it’s sweeping the town. People loves burgers. But there are times when the burger stall serves one thing too common. But with this new and upcoming restaurant, the people couldn’t be happier.

This hipster restaurant is located at Medan Selera Kg. Baru, Bentong. The place used to be almost dead and closed but with the arrival of this shop, the place got its light back and more customers than ever before. The shop may looked fancy but the price was the most reasonable I’ve ever seen. With pretty decorations and even comfortable surroundings, this would be my new favorite hangout place in Bentong. The restaurants serves so many varieties of western food with a twist in the recipe. The burgers ranges from with addition of cheese, black pepper, eggs and salami to a unique burger called the Black Canyon that has colored burger bun. There were also choices of grilled meat, juicy Deen Meatball or special B.B.Q lamb.

When I first came here it almost makes me wants to buy every single thing from the menu because it was so tempting and delicious and scrumptious and tummy-grumbling looking. Not the type of food I could resist. The burger price range from RM 6.50 to RM 34.00 if you’re feeling like you have a monster as a stomach. There were also add-ons of fries, sausages or with an additional of RM1.00 you can change your buns into black colored bun. Talk of feeling adventurous. Each burger also has its own option of single, double or triple. So before you order, ask your tummy how much it wants to eat.

The system of the shop is also systematic and easy. When you come to the shop, all you have to do is queue at the cashier, order then pay up. No need to wait for the workers to come at you and take orders and have that possibilities where they mistook your order.

I ordered the simple cheese burger with an addition of sausage as a side dish with a total price of RM8.50. My brothers decided to filled both their inner monster and ordered the tower burger which consist of 8-layer of burger with each storey were squirt with different types of sauce and mayonnaise for RM 34.00. Both were take-away because the shop were almost at closing time. Sadly I couldn’t even had a glance on the tower burger because as soon as I came back from my room, the burger were all gone and digested well into both of their stomach. It was scary.

When I was queuing at the restaurant, I noticed that the shop has a very unique glasses for drinks. It was filled with funny words and puns and even motivational quotes. Overall my visit were satisfying. I would definitely come again to buy that tower burger. The hygiene was at its best and the food was splendid and the workers were all friendly.
