The Most Hideous Burger In Town?

So I took my mum & Yaya for dinner last night. We went to My Mom's Chicken Rice (the famous Linda Onn's dining spot) nearby Ampang Point, which I don't quite understand why it got so famous. If you ask me, I've tasted better chicken rice. Perhaps, because it's Linda Onn's it has some star appeal to the customers. Anyway, driving home Yaya suddenly mentioned about 1 particular burger stall which is quite famous. Having a big appetite, I thought 'Let's check it out'. 10 minutes later, here we were, at Burger Om.

Seeing the stall at first sight, the stall definitely does not spell out much appeal. It looks like your typical burger stall that you came across every day. By the way, don't get me started on asking why the hell do all burger stalls are located so close to 7-11? The only difference I can see is the one who's making it. Most stalls that I go to are handled by teens at their 20s, not some old chap with his wife as you can see here. And thanks to my eavesdropping skills, I learnt that he has been involved in this business for the past 25 years.

So, after waiting we got our burgers and we headed home. I can't wait to see what's so special about this burger. Is it so delicious beyond imagination? That would probably be too ambitious, judging from the appearance of the stall. But I'm not to judge, I'm just wanting to have a good meal. I opened the wrapping when I saw this:
I might be wrong, but could this be the most hideous looking burger I've ever seen in my life? I mean look at it! Does it not spell sloppiness and poorly prepared? How come this burger got famous? Mind you, I've ordered a beef special, not a double beef special. You can only imagine how double beef special will look like after looking at the above. I looked at Yaya when she insisted me to try it first. I had my first bite, and then everything changes. It DOES NOT taste like it looks. It may look poorly done and all, but it sure tasted good. Juicy, tender, full of flavour, as what you might expect from an experienced burger maker. But again, looking at the image above and you are not wrong; it looks like it is deep fried, with all the oil and grease...and...may I suggest full discretion upon eating this. Your health is yours to take care of. Hehe.

Satisfied with the 'sloppy burger', I browsed the Internet to verify the claim that this 'Om Burger' is in fact famous. I was stunned. There have been a few food blogs praising about how good this burger is. And one more thing, it may be the most hideous burger in town, but it also holds another record, according to popular votes:

I'm not kidding you. Fried Chillies (a legit Malaysian network site on food) organised the 1st Annual Fried Chillies Foodsters Awards and Om Burger was voted 'The Best Street Burger In KL'! (you can check the list of winners here).

So, don't just take my word. Try it out! Om Burger is located at Lorong Kolam Air Lama, 68000 Ampang Jaya, Selangor. (N 3.16063 E101.78560 for those of you with GPS). Who says sloppy can't taste good? Till the next post...
