Killer Gourmet Burger(KGB) @ Any Joint

The Raging Bull

  Picture yourself driving back from work after doing overtime, your body is aching from the countless hours you spent sitting in an uncomfortable chair doing nothing but typing virtual letters and numbers at your computer. Your stomach growls back at you whenever you try to sing one of the lyrics of a song and you're craving for something satisfying yet packed with flavour to be thrown at the beast hidden in the abyss of your body. You see a burger joint and it frightens you but thankfully the KGB doesn't take in plebs like you and me. You walk into this place and you see the macho burly middle eastern man at the counter taking orders, you scout the menu at the top of the counter and see something interesting, "a tornado burger ?" you said in an uncertain tone.

  The burger is then given to you in a pocket wrapping together with a wooden basket, the burger peeks out of the pocket like a pearl in a clam except that pearl is obese and delicious. You look at yourself and look at the burly man, he nods at you like a soldier patting the back of his comrade before they enter the battlefield. You can hear a faint whisper in your ear "Good luck my friend" in a thick polish accent, you tighten your clamp onto the burger and jump into its world.

The All Star Team

Your eyes widen at the first bite, the next bite you close your eyes tightly and smile feeling like you're being hug behind, you look at the burger and you can see the yolk of the sunny side egg slowly oozing out and the medium done beef patty. The combination of the tornado if it was a spell would be one of the easiest spell a wizard could learn, so simple yet so powerful, Grilled grass-fed beef, onion rings, sunny side egg and buffalo wing aioli are its components. The buns were put on the stove to give the edges a crunchy crust while the beef patty thick and unlike the ones you would have at fast food restaurants and the addition of some onion rings can easily change the game because of its texture. The salty taste of the buffalo wing aioli sauce coupled with the seasoned juicy yet a bit chewy beef and the yolk provided a show for the mouth, the crispy onion rings were added to not bore the diner with the same soft chewy texture and all kept together by the buns.


The price for a burger can be expensive to some but I can say it is worth the money as it delivers in every single department, taste and texture. For RM16.90 the tornado is the burger you need when you're feeling tired or fatigue from work, it energizes the eater and definitely tamed the beast in the pit. If I were to describe in the whole package as in the burger, it would be the same as the Chicago bulls success in 1990-91. The beef carrying the name of Michael Jordan, the egg Bill Cartwright, the onion rings Horace Grant and the buns Scottie Pippin making one legendary team that destroyed the court and whoever that faced them with their exquisite teamwork and graceful skill plays yet able to defend their side valiantly and with fervour. This is the tornado.
