The Crazy Bites is just 6 weeks-old. It is open from 12 pm to 12 am every day.

When I first arrived, I almost thought, am I in McDonald's playground? The fast food joint is so full of vibrant colours whereby the main colour is fuchsia, my favourite colour, so I almost went gaga looking all round me! I was like a child who first arrived and look around in wonderment, but being an adult, I had to suppress my childlike wonders. This is definitely the place to unleash the child in you.

It is so different from places like Texas Kicthen and Marrybrown whereby they even have their own mascot, Kinikuru, created by their own design team. The Kinikuru is for sale at RM 19.90 and it has its own characteristics such as Blood Level : O Type, and habits include eating, sleeping etc. (Sorry I lost the photo of the characters so probably you have to take a peek yourself?)

The logo itself cost RM 100,000. All the plates, bowls and cutleries have the trademark of Kinikuru on them and the pasta bowls are specially sourced to have the curve shapes so that they curve like the smiles of the mascot.

Once you step into the place, be prepared for a purple counter and fuchsia wall on the other side! So calling all purple and pink fans out there, this is THE PLACE TO BE! I like the staircase which has a painting of the mascot and their slogan, "It's just incrazible!" The concept is so youthful and totally has the kid in mind during the design process. Their target market is the low to middle class so you will be surprised that a burger cost only RM 13.80 together with orange potato french fries. The price of food is quite worth the portion of food. The food is pork and lard free too.

This cafe is founded by three handsome and gorgeous men, Edward Kan, Steve and also Johan, an Indonesian Chinese. What brings them together? It is none other than their passion for food and also to have a lot of control on their own business, basically, freedom, which characterise most youth. When they said "curiosity" was the core fundamental of this place, my eyes grew large. They enjoy exploring the unexplored in terms of food, and unlike new start up restaurants which usually have about 5 items in the menu, The Crazy Bites have a whopping total of 44 items in the menu! That is quite incredible for a fast food place!

The first item was Jacket Potatoes (RM 13.80) were quite amazing. It comes served in 3 small halves of potatoes that are baked with cheese and chicken. It has just the right amount of potato, not too much as I am not a big fan of potatoes.

The chef, Johan who is also the partner, told us that he could make pizza in any shape and he made theirs in the small rectangular shape so that it can fit on the special wooden board. I only had the chance to try the Crazy Lamb Pizza (RM 14.80) which has kofte inside. It brings fond memories of the Kofte my Iranian sister cooked for me in the past.

I did not have a chance to try the Crazy Seafood Pizza (RM 14.80) and the Crazy Mushroom Pizza (RM 12.80) but they sure look so delicious that I am going to get it another day!

The Clam Vongole (RM 12.80) was quite tasty. The clams were so fresh and big too. The sauce was flavoursome. I liked the thin crust bread that comes with it which is great for dipping.

The Seafood Aglio Olio (RM 15.80) was the best spaghetti here. It was spicy enough for my palate and not too oily. The prawns and mussels are also fresh. I kept eating many spoonfuls of this.

The Calamari Rings (RM 13.80) are so cute and crispy. I loved this so much that I kept munching on it. The Thousand Island sauce was great combo too. The fried items such as Calamari, Onion Rings and chicken are served on cute mini frying pans.

Each burger set comes with a small packet of fries made from sweet potatoes. I totally was in love with the sweet potatoes and it is somewhat better than the conventional french fries, which is where Crazy Bites really dare to do things differently.

Honololu Ox Bites (RM 16.80) - beef:
This is the star of all the 8 burgers here. The pineapple slice lent the sweetness to the Australian made beef patty. The pairing with bacon and also cheese was matches made in burger heaven. This is one burger that despite having so many other burgers to choose from, I never fail to come back to this. It is akin to us going back to our first lover after going through many dates who are ok but still incomparable. (Just a metaphor!)

Ox Bites (RM 13.80) - beef:
According to the owner, they said the beef is very tasty and my girl friend said the beef is amazing here. But for me, I felt that if you like beef, please go Honolulu style! This Ox Bites is just too plain for me who likes things sophisticated.

Goat Bites (RM 16.80) - lamb:
Lamb burger in Malaysia is simply delicious and I guess this is the first time I ever comment this way when it comes to lamb burgers. Even for New Zealand which is famous for lamb, I do not like the lamb burger there as it is too dry. So fancy paying RM 40 for burger in New Zealand and not liking them? Haha...that crazy person is me!

Apple Mushroom Bites (RM 13.80):
This combo is so unique and I have never heard of such combo in my entire life. Seriously, if you like trying something unusual, look no further! The sourness of the green apple is combined with the high end mushrooms brought the high spirit amongst us! If you do not feel like eating meat, you can always order this.

Chef Johan asked us whether we like spicy food and I said, "Bring it on!" Little did I know what he would bring till I saw the Chicken on Fire (RM 14.80) which was so spicy we were literally screaming inside and outside. The meat was quite tasty and thoroughly coated with the chilli paste.

BEVERAGES

Hot Earl Grey Chocolate (RM 10.80)

This is a very special drink as we rarely hear of this combination, after all, we are in a incrazible place with an adventurous chef. The drink is a little sweet but there was still the earl grey taste lingering inside. There is a beautiful heart shape on the foam. The other Earl Grey drink I had was the Earl Grey Coffee at The Humble Pie which has very intense flavour.

Earl Grey Mojito (RM 9.80)

Crazy Bites is well-known for its mojitos which I take to instant liking. I like the taste of Earl Grey taste inside, which is strong enough for me. I basically like anything with Earl Grey flavour from coffee to ice-creams.

Maracuja Pineapple Tea (RM 9.80)

This is a little too sweet for me and reminds me of iced lemon tea. Not much of pineapple taste inside.

Mango Mojito (RM 9.80)

This has strong mango flavour and done just the way I like it. If you are a mango fan, go for it! And the best part, it does not have the fake sweetness from mango syrup!

Forest Fruit Milkshake (RM 13.80)

According to my friend, the taste is similar to Malaysian cough mixture but for me, I am ok with it since I love cherries. The milk shake is very thick and will make one full fast.

Cappucino Freddo (RM 12.80)

There is a lot of foam inside so if you love foam in your coffee, this is the place to go. But I preferred the coffee to be stronger as I am a coffee lover.

All the coffee here is strictly Illy coffee. This shows that the owners place priority in top notch quality for their coffee.

....

There is also Crazy Breakfast served at 8 am - 11 am every day, price ranging from as low as RM 9.80 to RM 13.80. We just need to add RM 2 to get an orange juice or premium coffee like Americano, cappuccino or cafe latte whereby all the coffee are from the Illy brand.

Upstairs there is an open air al-fresco dining place and also an indoor place for parties. One thing is for sure - reasonably priced food and colourful set up.
