The Grind House Burger Smile Oct 31, 2013   (Related Review)

The Grind House Burger (RM19 for Pork, Rm21 for Beef)
Pork/Beef Patty, bacon, fried egg, caramelized onions, natural cheddar, crisp green, onions, tomato and their special dracula mayo

 
Check out the MAASSSSUVE GINORMOUS size of the burger! This certainly has to be the largest burger I've ever eaten! It was soo big it couldn't fit into my mouth and I had to eat the burger Asian style (using culteries lol).

The burger fell apart as I embrace it so it's hard for me to taste the burger as a whole ^^". I ate the by two components, pork patty + caramelized onions + bottom bun and top bun + bacon + fried egg + dracula mayo I find the pork patty a little dry. The reason being was stated above. I ate it one its own rather than eating it with its accompanying condiments/compartments. It'd be awesome if I ate the burger as a whole! I really liked the draculla mayo. Don't be put off by it because it is pink. It actually tasted pretty awesome! It forms a perfect medley with the fried egg, bacon and top burger bun. The caramelized onions were cooked till perfection, soft, sweet and satisfying, adding flavours to the burger. The fried egg was really well done too, with the yolk spilling all over the burger, infusing with the melted cheese, adding richness to the burger.

However, I wished if they slathered on more draculla mayo on our burger. It wasn't messy enough, on my humble opinion =P I'm a big fan of messy burgers heh.

Kinoko Gohan Burger (RM17 for Pork RM19 for beef)
Short grained rice patty,
I went all "awww" when the burger arrived. It looked so cute! Like a sushi. Or am I the only one who thinks this way?
This was my dad's order. He opted for Beef patty.
The beef patty was really juicy. The juice came oozing out with a bite. It was very well-marinated. The rice patty was really something new to me. It was slightly burnt on top to give the patty a crisp and aroma. Oh no worries the patty wasn't hard at all! It was done to the perfect amount of tenderness. Or hardness. I was amazed and I wonder how did they manage to stick the grains together. Am also awestruck, how this whole burger come together so wonderfully. My dad just gave me a smaaaaaallll portion of his burger but I addiction kicked in with a bite. I sooo wished that I had ordered this burger instead =(

This burger is for the win.

Somehow I felt as if I was eating a fusion sushi when I was eating this burger too =P You know, those sushi roll you get from sushi zanmai?

Glorious Burgers Smile Oct 31, 2013

The Grind Burger Bar. Another addition of the burger joint to the burger-saturated Klang Valley (my burgerlab, Big Chomp Burger, Burgertory are a few examples)

 
We arrived at The Grind at about 2.30pm. The burger joint was quite empty, only a few seats were occupied. My mum was quite shock as during their previous visit (WITHOUT ME SOBS), they had to take a number and line up for a table! The friendly staffs then told us their kitchen closes at 3pm! But nevertheless, they still welcomed us in so yay for good service! lol

 
The Grind Burger Bar has a long communal bar table! Well it's a burger BAR after all! Geddit? ;P

The Grind Burger Bar has a rustic yet sleek interior. One side of the restaurant is painted grey, while the other side is a panel of red bricks. Vintage paintings and poster were plastered on the walls, giving the restaurant a hip and unique vibe.

The Grind Burger Bar also adapted the open kitchen concept, where curious diners get to observe how the burgers at The Grind Burger Bar were grind to perfection.

 
Their menu was really simple. It was printed on a piece of brown paper & laminated.
The Grind BURGER Bar also serves Hot Dogs, Meatballs and Spaghetti to cater for all different preferences of taste buds. But we all decided to go for their forte BURGERSSSS.

 
Their drinks and side order menu were on the flip side on the paper.
Despite the simple menu, The Grind Burger Bar has their own way of spicing up their menu. Notice the quirky names they give to their drinks. Brown Cow. White Cow. It tempts me to order em heh. And because The Grind Burger Bar is a Bar, they also serve alcohol! lol (Jeez, what's with me trying to create puns in this blog post)

 

 
Hono'lulu Burger (RM17 pork, RM19 beef)
Pork/Beef Patty, Grilled Pineapples, melted cheddar, crisp green, onions, fresh tomatoes and mayo
This was my mum order. She opted for pork patty. The burger was pretty simple but it won my heart. The ingredients compliments each other perfectly. The thick, juicy patty, paired up with the creamy melted cheese, tangy mayo and sweet pineapple created a memorable taste.

Unlike most burger joint, The Grind Burger Bar layer their patty in between two buttery aromatic brioche bun. The brioche bun was lightly toasted and buttered to enhance its taste. It was crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy in the inside. Thumbs up for their buns!

Oh and notice the huge stack of herbed fries behind the burger. Yeah, The Grind Burger Bar is definitely generous on their fries. Their thick cut fries were pretty decent. Seasoned lightly with herbs and spice, it goes really well with their homemade special sauce which tasted quite similar to my burgerlab's. I prefer my burgerlab's fries over the fries served here, but personally I preferred The Grind's special dipping sauce over burgerlab's.

All burgers are served with a small side of greens and large side of herbed fries.

Bacon & Mushroom Risotto RM10.90
Bacon & Mushroom Risotto, topped with a sunny side up and a side of green.
When I skimped through the menu, this dish caught my attention immediately because of its price. I mean, where else could you find a risotto at only RM10.90?! The price of a risotto at a typical Italian Restaurant is normally priced around RM30+!
Never judge a book by its cover, never judge a food by its price. The Risotto, was IMPRESSIVE. The texture was smooth and creamy, really well-done. Each bite was really flavourful. The creamy saucy risotto tempted my taste bud for MORE AND MORE! The beef bacon and mushroom taste infused with the rice, further enhanced the taste of the dish. The greens serves as a perfect respite from the creamy risotto. It mellows the jelak-ness of the whole dish, complementing the risotto perfectly.

Upstairs Cafe is just located upstairs of Kafe Bawang Merah, a Malay cafe which is also quite famous among Subang Folks. Heard that the owner of Bawang Merah and Upstairs are actually Father and Son btw!

It was a great dining experience. And a really good place to chill and hang out. =) Will be back soon to try out their full range of breakfast menu!

After my many failed visit to upstairs cafe, I'm finally here with my college mates!! (After cracking our head and squeezing our brain juice during our Bio paper 23) =) We walked here from our college, under the sweltering heat, cause we were bored of food at SS15, and we had no other mean of transport LOL. #cantdrive

 
Upstairs Cafe, as its name suggested, is actually located upstairs, on the first floor of the row of shoplots facing Ramsay Sime Darby Medical Centre (SDMC)

 
Upon entering, we were greeted by the friendly staffs. The environment at upstairs cafe was very homey and welcoming. Upstairs Cafe was buzzing with activities- The sound of the coffee machine coupled with the chitter-chatter of the patrons, with jazz music playing in the background. We couldn't find a table that could fit all nine of us so we were forced to sit at the balcony area, which was actually a smoking zone.

 
Upstairs Cafe practices the self service culture where customer would place their order and pay at the counter.

 
Upstairs Cafe drinks menu! As you can see, their price is much lower than the conventional coffee shops such as Starbucks, Coffee Bean and so. Where else can you get a frap for RM9? =D

 
Their Breakfast Menu! I was elated finally being able to try their breakfast food. All these while I had only been here for their cakes, coffee and pasta. =D
Their menu are all written on the chalk board as there's a different menu for dinner.

 

 
Upstairs Cafe's Forte- CAKES
Believe it or not I actually tried ALL the cakes from Upstairs. And I'd say all of them are pretty darn good.
Especially their red velvet, hummingbird cake and chocolate brownies! So moist, fluffy and heavenly!

Our orders took quite a while to arrive as it was full house.

Big Breakfast RM15.90

 
Two sunny side up on a slice of toasted French Baguette, Two Chicken Sausages, Ham, Sauteed Mushroom, Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Baked Beans. Comes with a glass of orange juice.
My friend's order. She wanted to order the Egg & Turkey but they ran out of poached egg. I presume due to the high demand off Egg Atlantic.

The sunny side up was very well done. The yolk was still runny, the flip side of the egg was crispy, like how a perfect sunny side-up should be. It was slightly seasoned with pepper and herb to further enhance its taste. The chicken sausage was really flavourful. The cherry tomatoes were roasted to perfection, bursting with sweetness as I take a bite. The only item I couldn't care less about is the hash brown. The hash brown is your typical MCD hash brown, except this version is slightly thicker with a crustier skin. My friend and I don't really like it as all we could taste is oil, oil, oil.
