The wait is over: Hipster burgers have finally come to Kepong.
The burgers here score an A for effort but a B for execution. Looks-wise, this 'Hungry Man' (RM19.50 nett with fries) is a faultless construction of a beef patty topped with chicken breast, streaky bacon, cheese & smoked hickory BBQ sauce; in terms of flavor, the patty doesn't quite deliver the explosively savory juices that some customers will demand.
The inventive streak is clearest in the 'B.A.D. Breakfast All Day' Burger (RM18.50), substituting the patty with a spiraled chicken sausage, partnered with fried egg, bacon & hash brown. But while this seems like a laudably terrific recipe, it needs tweaking too; the flavors fail to come alive _ the sausage is fat & moist but bland, while the bacon's dry & chewy.
Still, we're optimistic C.E.O, which only opened this month, will get better as the weeks go by. One thing's for certain: The outlet cares about satisfying customers with its generous servings. The Santa Fe (RM18.90) features not only a genuinely hearty beef patty but plenty of guacamole, cilantro-tomato salsa, orange cheddar cheese & sour cream.
And we like C.E.O's vegetarian burger (RM13.90) too, a thoughtfully considered concoction of mushroom ragout, hash brown, Swiss cheese, parmesan crisp & basil pesto mayo. This one works well, signaling that what needs fine-tuning would be the meat patties.
C.E.O's fries are fine; fluffy & fresh, paired with a spicy-tangy 'Magic Sauce.'
The final secret weapon in C.E.O's arsenal: Tater-tot-style fried potatoes (RM12.90), showered with guacamole, sour cream, jalapenos & nachos cheese sauce, a carb addict's fantasy come true in the calorie-laden flesh.
