150G HOUSEMADE VEGAN VEGGIE ON A BUN

Pretzel Bun + Gruyere + Sun-dried tomatoes + Grilled pineapple + Honey Djon + Homemade Guacamole + Roasted Garlic Aioli + Sliced Avocado

All bread served here are in fact freshly made and delivered by the established Renaissance Hotel. It’s been a constant and strong partnership all this while for the unwavering quality in the bakeries that has since garnered approval affirmative from the chef at its US headquarter. All breads are baked till perfection where the US maestro himself compliments  that the bread made here is so much better than the one available in CA itself. Wow, kudos!

150G HAND-CUT AHI TUNA SALAD STYLE IN A BOWL

Salad Style In A Bowl + Quinoa (Myr 3.50) + Savory Cheese + Basil Pesto & Sweet Sriracha +  Alfalfa Sprouts + Fried Pickled Chips + Organic Mixed Greens + Sliced Radish + Fresh Grilled Pineapple + Sunny Side-Up Egg + Sliced Avocado

I heed the recommendation to have my tuna done medium rare and it turns out surprisingly good, if not better! For a person who oftens shun away from maguro, this attempt is indeed very encouraging for my next gastronomy journey. I believe this is largely due to the freshness and quality standard embraced by this establishment. Superb!

Burger patty start from MYR 28 onwards for 150g up to 450g.

Seasonal grilled corn to tickle you further.

SWEET SRIRACHA FRIES AND PARMESAN FRIES (MYR 18)

I have it 50-50. Essentially started off with the base as shoestring fries, topped off with different alluring toppings. The former came with sweet sriracha, sweet onions and toasted sesame seeds while the latter is doused with parsley, rosemary and roasted garlic aioli.

You could also have this mixed with crispy onion rings too under the Snacks + Starter selection.

Up next is a must-have whenever dining here.

THE MELTDOWN (MYR 26)

Sandwiching 100% chicken meat (chicken breast to be exact) that is lightly marinated but terrifically juicy and succulent. Later I was told that it has actually been cooked sous vide way, no wonder it helps to retain all the juice within. Ma ma mia!

Some dessert for the sweet tooth of course!

KEY LIME PIE (MYR 18)

Long time no see old pal! Glad to have met it here as this piece of confectionery is hardly seen nowadays. Velvet and mouthwatering in each scoop, although I don’t mind it to be tad more piquant and zestier.

APPLE CRUMBLE (MYR18

Authentic recipe crafted in French way. Each cube of apples are moist and bursting in juices, that forms a delectable nuance with the buttered biscuit crumbles.

Wash it down with soft drink, iced tea, bottled water, sparking water or shake.

CARAMEL JAVA MALT (MYR 16)

Coffee, caramel, chocolate syrup and malt- certainly a perfect drink for both chocolate and coffee lovers!  Made with premium vanilla ice cream and topped with whipped cream.

BEACH BLAST (MYR 16)

Strawberries, banana, pinapple, orange juice and fat free vanilla yogurt- my best thirst-quenchers!

Hence, another return for this awesomely fantastic American burger is definitely a must for me! What about you? Who knows that it’ll also be a case of love of first sight for you too(= Remember to check it out soon guys!
