Why it is our number one: This is the quintessential Malaysian street burger experience that gained massive fame following a celebrity visit. Go for the messy, sauce-laden 'Ramly' style burger that defines local late-night culture, but check if they are actually open before heading out.

Worth going out of your way for
74/100
Why it made the list: Go here for the indulgent bone marrow butter, but be prepared for a high price-to-portion ratio. We value it for its flavor profile, though many locals find the lack of sides like fries at a RM39 price point hard to swallow.

hands down one of the BEST burgers in town 🍔 simple beef patties burger w sautéed onions and pickles to cut down the grease, makin it perfectly balanced
Why it made the list: This is a specialized smash burger joint that successfully challenges the beef-heavy market with excellent chicken and lamb alternatives. It is the best choice in Bangsar for those who want a smashed patty but don't eat beef.

We are not giving this one a Vie Score: only 1 person has posted about it for this dish, and we do not score anything under 3. It is on the list because what we did find is worth knowing.
Why it made the list: We suggest sticking to the cakes unless you have no budget constraints. While they serve a smash burger, the local consensus is that the price is excessively high for what you get.

Why it made the list: This is the spot for a dark horse order. While it is marketed for fish and chips, the chicken burger is the real standout that surprises diners with its quality.

Went for the fish & chip, but surprised by the chicken burger 🍔 🔥
Nothing was excluded on this one. Every place we found with recent posts about it was posted about for burger, so none had to be set aside for being famous for something else.
