up town center: shrimp buckets

expect some wait time in shrimp buckets especially during peak hours. when they first opened up, no one was eating and my mom was so sympathetic to them she felt bad people weren't eating there including us (well i had a list of must try places and they are not on my list then), but apparently kris aquino featured them and now they are always packed. but food is really really good. worth the calories!

kl: johnny rockets

i don't know how to begin with this post. but there's only one thing lingering in my head right now about johnny rockets...waste of calories!

kl: the daily grind

the daily grind is probably the first gourmet burger joint in kl, but it's leaning towards the higher end of the market so their prices are steeper compared to the more popular ones. logically, we should have tried the regular burger but we couldn't resist the fancier ones.

kl: red lobster

this is one of the chains i wanted to try during my last us vacay but failed to do so. i was so happy they opened up in kl. i was actually just in for the free cheddar bay biscuits which are good but a bit salty. everything was mediocre especially the almost overcooked pasta.

kl: kgb burgers

killer gourmet burgers is one of the forerunners during the burger boom. i like the fact that they have two ways in cooking their burgers (grilled or crust seared) and they have a variety of flavors for their fries. plus it's more accessible for me since they have a branch at my favorite mall.
