Fatboy’s The burger Bar and Mad About Coco @ Publika

Fatboy’s The burger Bar (not Halal)

My sister and our friend Suga, decided to hit something big in portion and heavy for lunch. And we did just that.

We decided to go for the burger bar around 2.30pm. I know, it’s a little pass our lunch time. But can you blame the KL traffic. So what are the rumours I heard about this burger bar? Burgers are different and unique. Its big portion and last you for a whole week (people tend to exaggerate).

So when we walked in, the first thing I saw was the gangster looking, fat boy with beefy arms, logo. Funny that is how I pictured him when I first heard of this place. I like the theme and the graffiti used in this place. Not many people around, maybe just a handful of late lunch goers such as ourselves.

There is about a list of about 10 types of burgers. All with unique name and combination. I went for something I know I never tasted before. We got two set of burger dish and one side dish.

Visual Observation: 8/10

Now the thing about burgers, it’s basically stacking. So if you mess that up. Your burger looks unappealing. So if the stacking is neat, you get good points.

Mahalo

Clean stack of burger with tiny Fatboy’s The burger bar flag. The sesame buns looks soft, and delicious. A nice helping of homemade fries.

The Elvis

Clean and neatly stacked burger with their signature flag. Dark oat buns. Also big slices of crispy fried potato. Yummy.

Honestly, I don’t know why I was expecting fat Elvis face on the bun for some reason. Sorry Elvis lovers LOL

Taste Evaluation: 8/10

Mahalo

This is basically pork all the way. Pork patty and caramelized onions, grilled pineapple. The buns are soft and the pork is juicy. I liked it, not too dry or too much meat that you feel like you gonna dislocate your jaw when you start chewing.

My sister got this one, I know she is not a big fan of onions and very picky if it is not caramelized properly. So my sis, she didn't take a liking to the onions perhaps it’s a bit too much for her. She liked the pork patty very much though.

The Elvis

Need I saw more, Fat Elvis = Peanut butter + banana. Thanks to my friend Suga, who recommend I try this baby.

Basically pork patty, peanut butter and banana. First bite, I loved it. I like how the pork patty goes well with smooth creamy peanut butter. You know how, sometimes peanut butter, tend to have slight salty taste. This one didn't have that. Instead when u bit further in you get this sweet grilled banana coated with peanut butter and when you chew them all up. It taste AWESOME.

I love how they cut the bananas into medium thin slices. But my only comment is that, Try not to put too much banana in it. For me when you are eating it at one point the sweet banana tend to overpower the meat. Now, I know that peanut butter and banana are like cute gay couple but sometimes it gets a little too much to handle. (no offense to gays out there).

I have to admit maybe it’s because of the untimely lunch we had. Both my sis and i did not finishing the fries. It was good but it was too much for me to finish. I may have sweep the plate clean if I was super hungry. But I guess I really wasn't at that time.

Deep fried calamari (side dish)

This one is not very remarkable that I want to jump up and dance about. Basically taste just like any other deep fried calamari dish and it comes with a normal dipping sauce. Just a reminder don’t eat this when its gets cold. Because that last piece was cold and when I took a bite it slapped me in the lips. OUCH!!! (Means it got rubbery)

Overall conclusion: Impressed and filling

I wanted to try a good unique burger and that is what I got. We enjoyed it very much and had fun teasing our quivering taste buds? Yes? No …..Wrong choice of word? LOL. Just make sure u make some “room” before you eat here. The portion are big and it can be a bit too much if you have something earlier. Very filling indeed.

All the burgers (comes with fries) is RM16++ and above. Tax and service charges is applied.

Mad About Coco

Yes, we did it on the same day. LOL We are goblins when it comes to food.

So I was looking at some food blogs and came across this place. First thing I saw was chocolate next thing I did was call my sis and made plans to go there.

This place is located at the second floor, above the Kari Mee Jawa. Just look up and if you spot a big afro with big glasses, then you are in the right place. The moment you walk up the stairs you can smell the chocolate. Yes just like in the cartoon, we got pulled in by the chocolate aroma. The whole place had this vintage 60’s café you see at old movies. I like their colour selection for the place. Very nice!.

It was almost 5pm when we got there, loads of youngsters like ourselves going HAHA and HEHEH over everything (quite noisy). So we found a nice little spot right behind the white curtain, I notice there was no menu. So I went to the counter and asked for some. The young lady at the counter said we should place our order and payment first at the counter. Not pay after.

So we decided on Innocent Devil Tiramisu Ball, Chocolate goodies in a pot, Traditional Chocolate Frappe and Chocolate Mojito.

Visual Observation

Innocent Devil Tiramisu Ball (RM20): 6+/10

The ball looks neat, cute and almost cuddly. White on the top dark on the bottom. But in my opinion, for RM20, I wish the ball was bigger and seriously those tiny biny slices of strawberry was really unacceptable. I’m sorry if I sound harsh, but really I was hoping for a nice portion for RM20. Say what you want “good things taste better in small portion” but I am a hardcore Malaysian gurl who likes my food to match the price they slap on it!

Chocolate goodies in a pot (RM18.50): 4/10

It was just a cute little pot with ice cream on the top. Not really notable. I mean at least I wasn't impressed.

Traditional Chocolate Frappe and Chocolate Mojito (RM15 each): 4/10

I mean besides the glass shape, I don’t know what else is impressive, I mean looking at it visually that is.

Taste Evaluation

Innocent Devil Tiramisu Ball: 8/10

Ok by far this was my favourite. I think this made a grand impression for me. I think the chocolatier did a good job. The waitress kindly asked us if we would like to take a picture of the ball before she poured the semi-hot chocolate over it. It got me thinking just how far we have come, that taking pictures of our food has become such a normal thing LOL.

Anyway, when she poured the chocolate over the ball it’s almost nostalgic to watch the top white part break and fall in under the chocolate syrup.

I think the dark chocolate syrup goes absolutely well with the devilish chocolate moist cake hiding underneath. LOL. We were already digging into it. I also wanted to call the waitress back so that I could lick the remaining chocolate off the small cup she poured the chocolate syrup from. HAHAH is that normal?

We all agreed it was the best and we all also wished it was bigger. LOL Almost screamed MOAR!!!!

Chocolate goodies in a pot: 4+/10

This one was a disappointment for me. I was expecting something different. Well it was not very goodie-ish for me. I mean I personally thought the cake under the vanilla flavoured ice cream, was rather dry and it was also stuck to the baking paper and pot. Making it difficult to scrape the cake and ice cream out together. Also I wish we had taken orange ice cream instead since it might have helped us enhance the taste. Otherwise it was just ok. Not so delicious like I imagined it to be.

I wished they used dark chocolate (slightly bitter) over the cake and orange ice cream instead.The chocolate used here was sweet and it did not mix well with the ice cream.

Traditional Chocolate Frappe: 3/10

This was rather disappointing for me. I was expecting more chocolate in it. But it felt more like powdered coco and was kind of tasteless. Also probably because of eating way too much chocolate earlier. But really I was expecting dark almost bitter sweet taste. Very icy was the first thing that came to my mind when I took a sip.    

I wished I had ordered chocolate martini instead.

Chocolate Mojito: 3+/10

I tasted this from my sister. I don’t think I taste anything different from mine. But the first thing I did notice is that it did not taste as icy as the above drink. I going to go with my sister’s comment. It was not something so impressive or rather stimulating to taste. Rather bland and don’t have enough chocolate taste to it.

Overall conclusion: Ok la

Ok I know this is not fair, because I order very little. But this review is based on what I ordered and tasted. So I would say, they might need to improve their drinks section. And of course looking around at other people’s table I did notice the portions are quite small. No service or tax charges. I might go again but will try something else.
