Smashies Burger Launch Event @ Metro Genting Setapak

So there was a launch event earlier today over at the rather new burger spot in town, Smashies Burger. With a name that gives me images of "smashing burgers", the launch was smashing too, to say the least. We had our Asia's very own Barrack Obama in attendance to launch the event.

Following some anticipation, "President Obama" arrived in true presidential style at Smashies Burger in Setapak, complete with the top-level fanfare including his official limo, bodyguards and all. He received his first taste of the Smashies Burger, and officiated the opening of Malaysia's newest burger sensation.

Smashies Burger derives its ame from the method by which their burgers are made - by literally smashing a ball of pure, ground beef on a grill, searing in its natural juices to lock in the patty's natural flavours. Adding to the unique experience, Smashies Burgers come in a variety of coloured buns from yellow, orange, to red and black charcoal buns. Check out one of the burger I had that afternoon, the "Annoying Orange" burger.

I must say the beef patty was indeed really juicy, without being too burnt at the sides like some of the "burger bakar" I had lately. With generous amounts of cheese, hashbrown and cheese, with crispy beef bacon and single patty of beef all bundled into one Orange bun, I must say, I was full just from having one of these "Annoying Orange" Burger.

With names ranging from Annoying Orange, Red Moo to My Mistress burger, among others, they do really take effort in naming their Smashies Burgers. Although it draws inspiration from American influence, Smashies Burger is very much Malaysian. It was started by former investment banker, Mr Will Soh.

"Throughout my academic and professional career in the finance industry, I had the opportunity to travel to many countries around the world. While I was in the United States, I discovered that there was nothing like a good, wholesome, juicy mouthwatering burger. During my career, I would reminisce being in the company of great friends, having fun over a delicious burger. That's the experience I wasnted to create with Smashies Burger," explained Soh. 


Yours truly with "Mr President"

    The burger oath shot doesn't look like the real Obama but the rest of the shots really look like him.
    Hey but who cares, it's the burger that matters.
    Really delicious. I tried the beef patty ones but not yet the chicken patty ones.
