These chefs reveal their go-to spots for burgers
There are few things that say comfort food as much as a good burger. Whether you’re a fan of the classic cheeseburger or prefer artisan delights with innovative twists, our burger scene in Kuala Lumpur is sure to have something to tickle your fancy.
Here, we are spoiled for choice with local burger joints, homegrown gourmet stores, and even international chains. And who better to ask for their recommendations for the best spots than chefs themselves?
Alta Burger
“It is a cult favourite! Double-smashed beef patties, seared high and lightly charred with brown butter, juicy and with a sharp bite, and the secret sauce balances the onions, pickles, shallots, and cheese. All of that, cupped between soft and pillowy buns! Definitely get extra tissues and prepare to get messy, as it’s going to be a wild ride!” —Joel Kirk, Coley
“Alta Burger is an easy pick, as it seems simple, but so much effort goes into everything from the right produce and cooking methods to seasoning and flavour combinations. Also, the space at Alta is well designed, relaxing, and comforting.” —Mui Kai Quan, Chocha Foodstore
My Burger Lab
“They make very good burger patties, and finish their burgers with a lot of toppings—I’m a tall burger kind of girl!”
—Viyern Ooi, Ignis KL

Spade’s Burger
“The Sri Petaling location is convenient for me, and in terms of orders, the Baconizer is definitely the way to go!”
— Chu Wei Sin, Aposto
Ramly Burger
“Any Ramly Burger that I can find with lots of cheese and egg is my favourite!”
—Andy Choy, Chateau Dionne
