KK Eats : Damn Good Burger is the Bomb in KK!

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah : Australian Place
Serve No Pork

Frankly speaking, I am a burger fans and I love homemade meat patty with creative combination of whatever nice la!

I am still looking forward to the stinking bomb which I have encountered, but didn't manage to had it back in KL. Totally sad after all this years, I love to eat petai! And trying Petai Burger would be something odd and exciting.

I heard about the goodness of DGB and finally out of the blue moon and went there for my second dinner for the night!

Our friend hosted a couch surfing traveller from Slovakia and treat him for a western dinner that wondering maybe he misses his home (Bread maybe?). (LOL)

The image above was the Double Lamb Burger which we had, and such a hot seller that night when we were there. 9.00pm and all were sold out! SOLD OUT!

Such a hot picked burger restaurant.

PHAT DADDY. Loaded portion with sunny side up.

DGB would be one of my recommendation for good burger. And as an advice, please visit them the earlier the better, before they are sold out!

Have a great weekend, everybody!
