Burgers @ Darabif, Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur

Keeping in the pink of health

Since I managed to rack up a few places to eat during my long break, I thought I'll mix and match them - the good and the bad. Although sometimes, my policy is not to blog about places that serve bad food, I reckon rules should be broken.

green green guacamole

Ever since, Darabif sounded out the intention to open a burger shop at Desa Sri Hartamas, we were both excited since we love burgers. Last week, when we were nearby at Devi's Corner, we checked this place out and vowed to return to try the food. On Sunday night, we finally had a chance to fulfil our promise.


Moooooooo! Yes, there's a cow in here.

I liked the look of the place - white, with bright green and black furniture. There's booths and also tables with plastic chairs in the same green and black. Lighting is excellent here - all white lights with loads of them around. The menu is based on the Darabif burgers, which can also be found at frozen products section at your neighbourhood supermarket. A choice of beef, lamb, chicken and salmon burgers are available here. There's even a mini size, if you fancy a quick snack.


Attack of the Glam burger

Depending on what you fancy, you can also choose the sets, which has a soft drink and french fries. We were eyeing the corn chips(RM3+), which you can pair with various dips - mexican mayo salsa, plum barbeque, curry mayonnaise, tomato salsa and etc. We went for the guacamole (RM1.50+) since that is our all-time favourite. A generous portion, we both found the guacamole a bit sourish. Could be the imbalance of lemon juice within the mashed mix of avocado.

I picked the Mooo burger (RM5.90+) - just a beef burger, which came slathered with lots of sauce, cabbage and raw onion rings. Although the burger was tasty, I didn't quite like the texture of the burger as it felt very processed and slightly rubbery. Splashie Boy ordered the Glam (RM6.90+) burger, made from minced lamb. I liked the touch of mint sauce with the burger but again, we didn't like the slightly rubbery texture of the patty.

Although the food didn't impress much, I did enjoy the fresh juices they serve here. With no added sugar and water, they are as pure as you can get with a range from RM6 to RM7. Since I was fighting a slight flu, I had their hot Cold Killer - a mix of ginger juice and honey. Splashie Boy had the Dragonfruit Passion (RM6.90+ for a mix of Pink pitaya juice with lemon juice). A bit tasteless I felt, but it was a nice hot pink colour.

Despite its nice appearance and unusual varieties, I still prefer Ramly or Otai burgers, which remain unbeatable in my score book for cheap, juicy and yummy burgers. Oh, and the service isn't great either as they tend to take their time to prepare the burgers (definitely not fast food here) and even forgot to deliver our burgers when it was all ready on the counter.
