Lai Po Heen at Mandarin Oriental Welcomes Chef Thomas Fong from Doha
April 24th, 2024
Pampas Burger in Wangsa Maju, an offshoot of the Pampas steakhouse family of Changkat Bukit Bintang.
Reasonable variety & prices: Beef burgers with beef bacon & blue cheese sauce (RM18, served with sweet potato fries or onion rings), lamb burgers with Swiss cheese & honey mustard mint sauce (RM19), smoked turkey ham burgers with ranch dressing (RM16), salmon burgers with tartar sauce (RM18) & crab burgers with thousand island dressing (RM18).
We visited Pampas Burgers in April; this blog entry is finally out in December. We thought we’d someday return to give this place a second chance – everything we tried here fell short in terms of flavour & textural satisfaction (strange, since a lot of thought & effort clearly went into creating the menu). But months have passed, & every time we recalled Pampas’ burgers, we felt no urge to head back. It’s very possible there have been improvements, but our first impression was lacklustre – a shame, since we handed a positive review last year to Pampas’ steak & burger at its Bukit Ceylon outpost.
On the plus side, the setting at Pampas Burger is pretty & its service team is hard-working.
