Ramly Burger - Malaysians' All time favourite burger.

Ask any Malaysian and he or she would have definitely had Ramly Burger. I reckon Ramly burgers are like McDonald's to us minus all the advertising, french fries and value meals. Most Malaysians will have their own favourite stall, which happens to be anywhere from road sides to outside your local 7-11.


Ramly burgers are like the local McDonald's franchise. They buy their stuff from Ramly hence the name which includes most of the ingredients such as the patty and bread. I was told that you can get a loan for this and you're also provided with training on how to set up, manage your books, cook etc. Pretty organized right?
I have not really tried a really bad Ramly burger except once in TTDI. The stall outside 7-11 in TTDI! It was bad. Tasted horrible that I cannot describe it. Will never go near that stall ever again.
My culinary journey this time takes me just round my neighbourhood in Taman Desa. This Ramly stall has been at the local 7-11 for years. I reckon that it's been at least 20 years as I watched the little baby girl grow up to be a little big fat girl now.


One thing about this stall is that it's not like the rest which are normally run by some young punks. This is family run and it's pretty clean in a way. Cooking wise is pretty much the same as the rest of the stalls. I love the way they cook the burgers. Slowly cooking it on the grill and once it's almost done, they cut it through the middle carefully not breaking it into half and sprinkle seasoning into the middle of the patty. Interesting way of adding more MSG flavour into the burger. On top of that, you can have the special which is wrapped in egg and maybe add a slice of cheese too. Talk about innovation.


They only open after dark. I stole this photo from the car.

Standardized wrapping.




I always order the normal or "biasa" chicken burger as I do not like too much stuff in my burger. For RM2.50 it's a decent deal. (used to be only 1.80-2.00 ringgit) Most guys will have to down at least 2 of  these burgers. One is just never enough.


Heil Ramly Burgers! You can never go wrong with these fellas!
