Restoran Man Burger Kukus Lava @ Damansara Damai, Petaling Jaya

Restaurant Man Burger Kukus Lava is located in the Street Mall, right beside Mc Donalds in Damansara Damai. They are one of the first in the country to introduce the concept of Burger Kukus Dan Bakar. I have always been curious as to how it is done. As I was home early today, I decided to drop by the check out the place.

As you can see from the posters, there has been so much mention about them in all the mainstream medias. Even the Jalan Jalan Cari Makan Team has endorsed them. I have not seen so much mention on any restaurant before. This is definitely giving me the confidence that they must be really good. As I was nearing their place, a bunch of my friends called me and said that they too would like to join me. That's good news for me as I am able to showcase more food items here instead of just one or two should I have gone alone.

They definitely occupy a huge space at the Street Mall. As you can see from the above pictures, their menu is quite elaborate. They have a variety of burgers prepared in different styles. They serve Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Deer, Rabbit and Ostrich. Sadly, they do not have Fish. Do note that all their burgers are patties and not the of the shelf burgers that you commonly get from the supermarkets. I was told that this was originally started by a couple many years back. Then, it was just a stall at a Night Market and then expanded to be a stall at a location and today they have two outlets like this.

They operate this as a fast food outlet concept. One has to go to the counter to place the orders and pay for them. The food is then sent over to the respective tables. A number would be given to you once the payment is done and this has to be placed on the table.

Once back to the table, I was observing how the burger is done. The buns are steamed and the patty is grilled. Now I understand why they call themselves 'Kukus Dan Bakar' . Seats are in abundance and they have their own dedicated space in the Street Mall which is quite huge in itself. 

Cutlery

A&W Float @ RM 4.00 (Large)

A&W Float @ RM 4.00 (Large)
This comes in two sizes, Large and Extra Large and I went for the large which was already sufficient for me. The A&W came with two scoops of ice cream on the top and the drink was good. What I did not like is the amount of ice cubes that were added to this. It would have been better if the drink was chilled and served without ice cubes. Nevertheless, it was a good preparation and I would rate this at 7/10 .

Ribena Lychee Special @ RM 5.00
One of my friends ordered this drink and it was a cute combination. Ribena with Lychees, it was indeed good and I would rate this at 9/10 .

Mango Sago Lava @ RM 6.00
The Mango Sago Lava was quite pure and concentrated and there were chunks of mango on the top. A very refreshing drink. I would rate this at 9.3/10 .

Tembikai Sago Lava @ RM 6.00
Another excellent preparation here. I must say that I am impressed with the drinks. This again was good and I would rate it at 9/10 .

Patrick (Fatty Patty) Lamb Special @ RM 9.50

Patrick (Fatty Patty) Lamb Special @ RM 9.50
This was heavenly. A thick patty of juicy lamb with so much cheese, sauces and ultra soft buns, they are a definite treat to your taste buds. Having grilled the meat, there was minimal fat in the serving and yet it was very juicy. Worth every penny. I thoroughly enjoyed this. This single patty is more than enough for a moderate eater. I would rate this at 9.8/10 .

Mr. Krabs Beef Special @ RM 11.00
My friend went for this burger and it comes with a slightly larger Beef patty. Special here means add cheese and for just RM 1.00 more, you get a lot more cheese in your burger. I asked my friend to rate this from 1 to 10 as I do not consume beef, and he rated it at 9/10 . Definitely looks great too.

Hot Dog Monster Chicken Special @ RM 6.50
Oh, this again was simply delicious. I took a bite and it was very good. The sausage was just so delicious and when served with the extra cheese, it was so good. I would rate this at 9.5/10 .

Meatball Lava @ RM 9.80
Juicy Beef Meatballs served in Black-pepper sauce with French Fries on the sides. The dish looked very good and once again, asked for my friends opinion on this dish and he rates this at 8.5/10 . Maybe it was not as good as the burgers, that I feel. 

Exotic Deer Double Special @ RM 10.00
I have tried Deer meat before but this is the first time that I am trying Deer Burger. We went for the double patty and it was huge, messy and absolutely delicious. We could not help resisting using our fingers to eat instead of the fork and knife. Just one word to describe this dish.....delicious! I would rate this at 9.2/10 .

Crispy Chicken Lava Double @ RM 15.00
This was anytime better than KFC's Zinger Burger. Two crispy chicken boneless tenders with loads of cheese served with some Black Pepper sauce on the side. A must try for fried chicken lovers. I would rate this at 9.5/10 .

Sponge Bob Chicken Triple Special @ RM 13.00
Sponge Bob patties were slightly thinner and were squarish in shape. The triple burger was very good again. But between this and Patrick series, I would have preferred the latter. I would rate this at 8.8/10 .

On the whole, the dinner was simply awesome. We had a very good time and the food was absolutely good. Best to come in large groups as you can get to try out a number of different varieties like us today. This is a place that I would highly recommend! Definitely a hidden gem in Damansara Damai.
