Winson Burger, Jalan Tong Shin

Just across from Ching Hai Restaurant (where one can find lovely noodles), you'll find this tiny motorbike stall selling burgers. It's along the same pavement as Ngau Kee's Beef Noodles stall, that would give you another better indication where this stall is. Not selling the typical beef/chicken burgers that one usually gets, Winson's burger are ones with meat floss and dried meat a.k.a Bakkwa.

I have been eating from this stall since I was a kid (this same stall seemed a lot bigger to my smaller frame back then, hahaha...) and Winson didn't really age that much when I saw him a couple of months back. Well, it has been more than 25 years!

I was happy to see him and the stall during lunch hour that day when I was in the area. See how tiny the work area is, all perched on the back seat of his bike!

RM1.80/USD0.50 for a regular and RM2.20/USD0.60 for one with extra meat floss/bakkwa

And why do I love this burger? Cos the bun (after being smeared with some margarine) is toasted over a tiny hot bed of charcoals!

Then he puts the bakkwa on one side and the meat floss on the other, add slices of cucumber and squirt some chilli sauce onto it! And whallah, you'll have one very tasty snack!

And why do I really, really, like Winson's Burgers? It's just because of the way everything goes and taste so well together but most of all, there's this smoky flavour from the bun itself due to the charcoal grill. Best eaten warm! Yum!

There are not many stalls like this around nowadays. Seeing Winson brings me back to my childhood days where life was a lot simpler and a lot more peaceful. Such comfort food this burger is!
