Cowboy Burger at SS15 Subang: Restaurant Review

It’s the showdown of two suburban eateries that have latched on to the burger bandwagon, both launched with guns blazing to supply their take on this trend. Let’s start with SS15’s new kid in town Cowboy Burger, helmed by friendly sheriff James Cheong.

Cowboy’s chef is a Malaysian who spent several years in Tokyo, so there are Japanese influences in the food here.

Pork Burgers

Cowboy is proud of its pork burgers, relying on antibiotic-free meat for its charbroiled patties & creating recipes like the “Very Hot Piggy Burger,” crowned with natural cheddar & grilled tomato & smeared with a sticky, sweet-savoury sauce that contains cili padi & lemongrass.

The combination works well enough; Cowboy’s fare is fairly priced too, with this burger, fries & a salad clocking in at RM14.80++.

Tonkatsu Burger

The tonkatsu burger (RM13.80++) is well-executed too, topped with Cowboy’s own tonkatsu sauce & naga-negi onions.

Special mention to the dipping sauce for the fries, an addictive one infused with mustard’s pungent wallop.

Pork Meatballs

The menu is extensive; besides chicken, beef & vegetarian burgers, there are also pork meatballs that can be topped with cheddar or berry sauce (RM8.80++), plus hot dogs, basic pastas, fish & chips, onion rings, nachos & chicken wings.
