After a long day at work, I decided I need a good hearty meal to fill my growling tummy… But, hub and I were kind of unsure where we would like to eat and we were throwing the decision back and forth.

Then, I recalled my brother-in-law mentioning about this burger place in Kota Damansara and thought that perhaps it was a good night to give it a try. This restaurant is quite easy to locate if you are familiar with the Strand (Kota Damansara).

Thankfully, this area is pretty deserted at night and locating parking is a breeze. Afternoon crowd is CRAZY around this area and it’s near impossible to get a space. There’s probably 3 restaurants for every 5 shops in this area.

The place is air-conditioned !!! so, this means NO-smoking. Yay. After placing our order with the front counter,

The Burger Menu

we were presented with their unique order number – The Rat. It’s a black furry rat soft toy with a tag on it’s ear. Cute… but, I’m not so keen to touch that thing. LOL

The rat and lunch set

Our Rat waiting with us. The lunch set seems pretty decently priced. Our burger got served pretty quickly. I think we only waited about 15 mins.

Hub got the Buffalo Soldier. The chicken was really nice and juicy. I love that they are using the whole thigh instead of mince chicken / chicken breast. The sauce is a wee bit overpowering. I think I would have prefer some salad in it to give it another layer of taste and texture…But, it’s just me.

Buffalo Soldier

As for me, I can never resist when I see egg and pineapple on beef patty. Brooklyn for me !!! Look how awesome and tall this stack is. nom nom nom. I was salivating already when they placed it in front of me. Luckily, I had the willpower to take a snap before devouring it. (Some article claim that people who take picture of food have mental problem… WHAT?! how can that be true… Think of the willpower it takes to have the discipline to take the picture before chomping away…tsk tsk tsk)

Brooklyn Burger

Look at that !!! The greens are nice and crisp too… That’s hard to find. Most places I go serve burger with almost wilted dying salad leaves. This is beautiful. Awesome choice if I may say so myself. hehehe…

Did I mention that the fries are really good? Almost chips-like. And, I love how rustic the fries looks with the potato skin around the edges.

One of our friend decided to join us and she got a half size (90gm patty) Vampire Slayer. Basically, garlic garlic garlic. Vampire Slayer (Half)I think it’s ok. But, the garlic is overpowering the poor beef patty. Somehow I felt that the patty is the supporting star and the garlic stole the show. I would have added baby spinach on this baby. That might have bring back some balance and draw the palate back to the fresh sweetness of the beef patty.

Overall a good burger joint. Would definitely return to try some of their other burgers in the menu… perhaps the fromage et fungi ?!

Mont Blanc – Chamonix, France

It was a lucky thing that

1) We manage to squeeze some time form our tight schedule to visit the Mont Blanc.
2) The weather that day was beautiful and clear. (Supposedly it’s very rare in Oct as it rains alot)

So, off we go to Mont Blanc (French) or Monte Bianco (Italian) which literally translate to White Mountain. Ascending to the height of more than 15,700ft above sea level, this marks Mont Blanc as the hightest mountain in the Apls.

Unfortunately, we don’t have that much time to include skiing into our schedule. sob sob… dang it. Anyway, we took the cable car up from Chamonix.

Cable CarI’m not someone who is afraid of height… but, I have got to admit that at certain point during the ride up, I was afraid. Especially when the wind was so strong that the car started swinging. It was quite an experience.

View from Cable Car 02 View from Cable Car 01I don’t remember how long the ride was as I was constantly either praying for safety and being wowed by the awesome view surrounding me. Not to mention, with so many people (at least 20+), the ride up was pretty much quiet. I think everyone is just speechless and humbled by nature.

Once we got off the cable car, you can hear the crowd got really excited and noisy. I was glad the ride was over (for now – since we still need to get back down later).

My friend pointed to us where we were

Where we stopThe view up there is just amazing. Too amazing to describe. So, I’ll let the picture speaks for themselves.

Amazing View 01 Amazing View 02 Ice TunnelIt was truly a great experience. I was a tad bit reluctant to leave and head back down. but then, my tummy wins and I finally tear myself and head back down to Chamonix for lunch.

The best part was, I manage to head to Monte Bianco from the other side the very next day… so lucky indeed.

This side is from Italy where you can head up from a little town call Courmayeur in Aosta Valley. We manage to get some shopping done there and I bought myself alot of pasta to bring home. hehehehe…
