Sorry folks, SG foodie had been busy with work and family commitments and haven't really sat down to record the enormous amount of food she has consumed (GULP!). If like SG foodie, you have children, you'd understand what I mean about them growing up way too fast. K1 is a full-fledged teenager with the usual growth spurts AND constantly hungry... perhaps it's also a way of coping with the stress of education and growing up but hey SG foodie's genes so... FOOD. K2 is entering the teenage years and while the growth spurts have not kicked in just yet, these look like they're just around the corner. SG foodie can only stare and offer shudders of fears/worries and disbelief at the reality of her children being taller than her (SG foodie is far far far from being a petite person so ya imagine the children being TALLER)! So yes, with the growth spurts (vertical for the children, horizontal for SG foodie) come the need to supplement the growth and development with good food!
Ok enough rambling ... the family wanted beef but not a steak so instead of the usual Burger Junkyard that we frequent, we thought we will try somewhere else... frankly we haven't had the patience to queue at The Burger Lab (although one of SG foodie's closest friend is a major fan of The Burger Lab). We drove down to Bangsar, Jalan Telawi 2, thinking we would try out KGB (Killer Gourmet Burgers) but when we got there, there was a queue and being as adverse to queueing as we are, we decided to go the The Grind instead since we've not tried it.
Despite The Grind being our 2nd choice, we were pleasantly surprised at the find and would certainly recommend this place to those seeking to satisfy their gourmet burger cravings. The Grind is situated at a quieter street of SS17/45 so thankfully DH was the driver since SG foodie, with her bad sense of directions and inability to follow maps (including GPS directions... don't judge her!) would have taken a much longer time to arrive at the destination. Found out that The Grind is situated on the same row as Raju's Curry House which SG foodie has been told she should try out for its banana leaf and so she shall be returning to that street on another occasion.
These were what we ordered: 1) The Grind House Burger, 2) The JD Burger, 3) The Hono'Lulu Burger, 4) The Big Black Dog and 5) Onion Rings. As you can see from the picture, the onion rings was a favourite as they got gobbled up before SG foodie remembered to take a picture. As indicated earlier, we all wanted beef so all the burgers were beef patties although you can choose chicken patties with some. The Grind House Burger and the Hono'Lulu Burger were relatively similar except for the extra pineapple on the latter. The burger patties were juicy and tender and were not overshadowed by the accompaniments (cheeses/sauces/etc) in the burgers. SG foodie honestly recommends the JD Burger (JD = Jack Daniels that is used in the gravy/sauce on the burger patty). It was heavenly! The bacon (what's not to like about bacon?!) complemented the beef patty and the JD sauce too. The Big Black Dog was delicious too... a gourmet hot dog on a charcoal hotdog bun with condiments to complete the whole sloppy-joe/coney-dog idea. Almost ordered a Big Kids' milkshake but was informed that it contained alcohol so couldn't share this with K1 and K2 (since SG foodie is unlikely to be able to finish a milkshake together with the burger) so SG foodie gave up on the idea and got K2 a regular chocolate milkshake instead.
