Ninja Joe Burger @ 1 Utama

Ninja Joe Pork Burger Fast-Food Restaurant was the first non-halal fast food restaurant in Malaysia. I still remember 6 years ago when they first started in Tropicana City Mall, we were so excited that we could have a fast-food restaurant that sells pork burger in Malaysia; however, I only tried once since they started. Their marketing concept was based on volume sales: the more burgers you purchase, the cheaper the price per burger will be. In my opinion, it seem like the concept didn't work out. The price and the size of the burger (very small) doesn't seem to match at that time, where else  Mcd and other burger fast-food restaurant were giving far more better deals.


After 6 years, more and more pork burger restaurants are coming out. More pork burgers are selling like hot cakes now. This time, I decided to come back here to give it another try. It seems like they have change their marketing concept and is more similiar to the likes of Burger King.

I have ordered a Chuck set meal and a Brucely set meal that come with a french fries or shurikens and a drink.

Chuck Pork Burger Set Meal-RM19.80
Chuck Burger comes with minced pork patty with bacon, cheese, egg, onion, tomato, lettuce and onion rings. Although the size of the burger looked quite small to us, however it tastes quite nice surprisingly. Don't judge this little thing so fast, 'cause we actually found ourselves to be quite full after chomping this small piece.

Brucely Pork Burger Set-RM18.80
The burger comes with pork chop patty with bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato. This pork burger is slightly smaller than Chuck. In addition, the taste wasn't as good  as Chuck but it is still acceptable. Overall, the taste was normal, I think the burger bread should be changed to some sort of a special bread if they want to compete with the competitors.

More and more pork burger restaurants are coming out and they serve way better pork burger than ever before. With that price and quality, I could get a much bigger and delicious pork burger. I guess they need to revise their prices to catch more customers.

The Strait Cafe @ Centrepoint, BU

While searching through my phone's photos, I found these photos which I took 2 months ago. Brother took me to Centrepoint that day to buy some power surge protectors for the new house. We bumped into this cafe right after the entrance we came in. It was lunch time and the place was packed and busy. We guess it should be good and go for a try. This place serves Penang food like char kuey teow, prawn mee, mee siam and others.

At a first glance on the menu, we were more interested in their set lunch. Besides the daily set lunch, they do have another menu mainly on new set lunch. I forgot to take a picture of their menu while deciding which one to pick as all of them are quite tempting at that time.

We finally chose the set lunch that come with Lor Bak as it is one of our favourite Nyoya dish ever. We hope that it would taste like our mom's Lor Bak and it does seem good!

Daily Lunch Set-RM12.00 nett (comes with a drink)
The set come with the assam prawns cooked with pineapples, lor bak(minced meat in roll) and some Ju Hu Char (mix nyoya vegetable). Brother actually loves the pineapples that were cooked with the prawn. The pineapples  used in the dish were fresh pineapples, not those kind of canned pineapples that most people use nowadays.  The taste was quite good, thumbs up!

Otak Fried Rice (I cant remember the actual name)-RM12
This is a new dish recommended by the waitress. It is actually fried rice with an otak-otak taste as I cant see any otak-otak in the fried rice. However, I feel it tastes more like the the Ulam Fried Rice except it doesn't come with so much vegetables. Like the photo above, the fried rice came along with other side dishes like kangkung, keropok, fried egg and lor bak. The potion was quite big, gave me a supper full meal. Try it!

The drinks were not that good, a bit too sweet.

Definitely will come back again. Kind of a good place for chit-chating with friends as the place was an open-air cafe inside Centrepoint. Pricing wise is still reasonable.
