It was such a hazy day so my 4 of my colleagues and I decided to go indoors and have something super nice to counter the bad weather. We arrived at Fat Boys and it wasn’t so crowded. The staff seemed nice though visibly inexperienced and very neutral (not happy, not sad/angry) welcoming us. I’ve been here for dinner before and the food was really good and hearty. So, I was really looking forward to the lunch menu that I’ve never tried.

I ordered a Spicy Chicken Burger (RM15) lunch set and my table shared the party platter (RM19). The lunch set comes with a drink (choose from Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke, Ice Tea) and the house salad. When our drinks came, they informed me that they had run out of Coke and Sprite so I had to choose between the remaining two. When the Diet Coke I ordered came, it was flat with no gas, I insisted they change it for me (even if they claimed that they opened it fresh from the bottle). So, in the end, I was left with ice tea.

Not great considering it was the start of a new week at lunch time.

My salad came and it was tasty. A very simple bed of greens (lettuce, tomatoes, arugula) lightly drizzled with a vinaigrette dressing. Our appetizer to share came and it was quite a let-down. For the price paid, I saw a big plate with 3x

very small sized half spicy chicken wings, 3x onion rings, 3x fried calamari, 3x fried Mozzarella sticks. Sounds like a lot but the portion expected was quite underwhelming

. Maybe it’s great for two people, but no more than that. The dish also comes with 3 dips: barbecue (dark rich color), wasabi mayo (mint green) and blue cheese (creamy texture). The wasabi mayo seems to be the favorite of the table and went well with everything on the plate.

Finally, my main course came. It was also a bit underwhelming compared to what I usually get during dinner time. When it arrived, I saw more of the plate than I saw my food. The burger was normal sized and came with a piece of lettuce, a piece of tomato and a small portion of fries. My Spicy Chicken burger tasted good at the first bite and tasted better after I removed the huge amount of mayonnaise in the middle (which wasn’t even spread properly). The best part of the meal really was the chicken piece inside as it wasn’t broken down into a patty and it really maintained the taste of the grill from start to finish.
If I have to recommend this place, probably go for the regular menu during dinner time to get a really good experience. If you want something really simple, the lunch set is still good for its price compared to the rest of the regular items on the menu.
