NOT a food blog
“I’m not telling you, ‘Never eat a hamburger.’ Just eat the good ones with real beef, you know, like the ones from that mom-and-pop diner down the street, … And it’s so good that when you take a bite out of that burger, you just know somewhere in the world a vegan is crying.”
– Homer Simpson
Craving for pleasure in a 9-inch package?
But not quite.
A 6 kilogram wonder – 2 kilos of freshly ground juicy beef patty, 1 kilo of cheese, 1 kilo of pickles, tomatoes and greens, and 2 kilos of multigrain bun that tries to make this healthy.
And the true test of a good burger? Lift it up, hold it between your fingers as the juices drip down your wrist, and take a big chomp through the entire cross section. Then lick up the spillages.
Talking at this point is not advisable.
***********
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of The Daily Grind. When the owners invited me over to try this monstrosity of a burger, I went for a medical check-up first before agreeing. Eating a burger this size is like preparing for war. You have to be prepared.
*grin*
Nah. It’s meant to be shared – lah. For us Malaysians, communal dining is nothing new. If we can sup over rice and curry and ko lou yoke, we can certainly sup over a giant burger. What an amazing bonding opportunity.
This burger can easily feed 10 to 12 persons. The price? RM360++. Please order 48 hours ahead because something this size needs tender loving care and planning. I’m still talking about burgers, of course.

Food, for me, is a means to an end and not an end in itself.
Food, for me, represents the love of family, the fellowship of friends, and the community and communality it brings.

Baby Sumo, Michelle Chin, lotsofcravings: Yup, gigantic! But it’s meant to be shared, so it isn’t as daunting when you eat it in parts. 🙂
ciki: Yup, he put it up on IG immediately. The burger was delicious!
Pureglutton: No lah…..wanted to die after approaching 1/6th of the burger each….

Gosh Meena… that THING is gigantic! Shall Ayden and I prepare a 9 inch cupcake or cookie to compete with that creature? Warning clause: not responsible for sugar-hyperactivity.

Wow! This reminds me of Man vs Food on Travel Channel. Every food is either mega-size or has a taste challenge to it. My oh my!

I came across your blog while googling for information on Huck’s cafe. I love your wits, the photographs of the food u’ve captured and of course the gazillions explored places you’ve eat your way through. You are a true blue foodie. =D
