Getting There & Parking
This place is located within the Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park enclave. So the parking situation would be the same as for Misaki Udon.

Ambience
The place is clean and well-lit. The decor is simple and un-cluttered.In fact, I was told it kind of reminded people of the dining places in Seoul.


The place is a little unusual and you can see this the moment you enter the place. This is because the Cashier/Order Counter is right at the front of the shop and diners must place their orders & PAY before entering to secure their table and seats. I say unusual because I thought this only happens for fast-food outlets. So, when I encountered that, I was a little put off.

Presentation
Nicely plated on square white china. However, the plates are a little too small as I find that tiny scraps of food keep falling off the plate.

Food/Taste
The pork patties were obviously home-made. Thick and juicy and extremely irresistible. I have never seen them on sale anywhere before. Just describing them is making me salivate.

The portion is also quite generous as even without the fries, I found myself quite full & satisfied with just the burger alone!

I for one am very glad that this place serves pork burgers (Sorry Ninja Joe)! I know there are a couple around but there should be more of these places because pork is SO GOOD!

But altho' they look pretty good, I was a little taken aback by the amount of oil that was still on the buns as they were served. I think almost everyone eats burgers with their fingers but when I picked it up, my fingers were drenched in oil.

Variety
They have quite an extensive menu, with burgers to suit all kinds of diners. They have Chicken, Beef & Pork burgers. They also have a tiny pasta section plus 1 Hot Dog item - the Double Jumbo Hotdog (RM14.90) - a delectable Taiwan Style sausage wrapped in minced pork and then served on a bun.

Some of the items have a very deliberately Oriental slant to them:
- Char Siew (BBQ Pork) Chicken/Pork Burger
- Teriyaki Chicken/Pork Burger
- Nam Yu (Fermented Tofu) Chicken/Pork Burger

VFM
As boutique burger bars spring up all over the Klang Valley, the prices are pretty competitive. They are not cheap coz at an average of RM15 a pop, for just the burger, I could've gotten 2 Burger King Meal Sets with fries & drinks. Altho' here, diners have the option to "make it a meal" by adding on RM4 for the fries and drink.

Comic Review - Cat got your tongue

This is my attempt at creating a concise compilation of cat-themed comic characters.

In no particular order, we start with...

Catman was Batman's enemy (some now may call him an anti-hero, that is to say, he may have a bad image but he does good things) but I only started reading about him about 6 years ago in Villians United.DC Comics,DC Universe,фэндомы,Deadshot,Дэдшот, Флойд Лоутон,Bane,Бэйн,DC Evil,Злодеи,ragdoll,Silver Banshee,Scandal Savage,Catman
Puma (Thomas Fireheart), was originally a Spider-Man villain, but having fought Spidey on multiple occasions, he started to respect Spider-Man and eventually became Spidey's ally.Marvel,фэндомы,puma
Zabu the Sabretooth Tiger, Kazar's ever faithful companion in the Savage Land.

T'Challa, better known as Black Panther (who will have his very own Marvel Movie soon - Yaayy), a key member of not only the Avengers but also of the Marvel Illuminati (along with Reed Richards, Namor, Professor X, Iron Man and Black Bolt) and more recently, as a stand-in Fantastic Four member along with his wife Storm from X-Men.

Selina Kyle, better known as Catwoman, who by now would be much better known that the other characters from this page thanks to her appearance in Christopher Nolan's Batman movies, as played by Anne Hathaway. She is sometimes a thorn and sometimes something more inviting to Batman, who is trying to keep her on the straight and narrow.

Héctor Ayala came across the mystical Jade Tiger Amulets that were originally from the Sons of The Tiger and became the first White Tiger. However, he was eventually shot and killed. The mantle of White Tiger is now passed on to Angela Del Toro.  
Greer Nelson, aka Tigra. Honestly, I really don't know much about her as I hardly read any stories with her in them, but she started out as a non-super powered crime fighter known as the Cat and eventually mutated into the super powered tiger-woman we all know as Tigra, who is a sometimes Avenger.
Hellcat
Rosa Mendez, one of the later additions to the Teen Titans in the '90s. Her life as a super-hero was cut short during the Infinite Crisis event where she was killed by Superboy-Prime.

Barbara Minerva and Sebastian Ballesteros are among the most well-known hosts to possess the power of the Cheetah from a plant-god (uh-huh) named Urtzkartaga.

Ted Grant, stalwart of the Justice Society of America along with the Flash (Jay Garrick), Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and Dr Fate.

Believe it or not, Patsy Walker (aka Hellcat) was created back in the '40s (! yeah, you read that right!) and was introduced in the Avengers but ended up joining the Defenders. All of this happened in the '70s.

Felicia Hardy was only a small time crook/villain to Spider-man, but eventually, she managed to steal his heart and they were an item for some time.

A deadly martial artists, Bronze Tiger is sometimes considered a hero and sometimes a villain. He s usually associated with DC's Suicide Squad (who will also be having their very own movie soon - double Yaaayyy).
