Cristang

With its name referring to the Portuguese people of Malacca, Cristang has cultural and traditional influences in abundance. Located just opposite the Hilton PJ, their bestsellers are the pork burgers. An unusual choice is the petai pork burger. On paper, the odd couple of petai and burger might sound like a culinary accident waiting to happen, but The Urban Legend is one outrageous dish that rewrites the script. Aside from the tender petai-infused pork patty, the burger also comprises juicy grilled back bacon and delectable specialty minced pork petai sambal that adds to the plethora of flavours on show. The generous helping of love-it-or-hate-it petai in the dish is subtle in taste and not too overwhelmingly spicy, while the side of Cajun wedges are a treat as well, culminating in a unique burger experience that blends a Malaysian favourite with an American classic.
