Continuing our quest for Klang Valley's best burger, we headed to Local Area Burger in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (TTDI). This spot has recently gained viral fame for their signature Smashburgers, known for their ultra-thin, crispy patties.
Stepping up to the stall, the aroma of sizzling beef instantly whets your appetite. The menu boasts four variations of the Smashburger, each 70g Australian halal beef patties are built with a focus on affordability and keeping things simple. No frills, just pure burger indulgence.
The options are refreshingly simple - a single cheeseburger for RM10 or a double like ours for RM14.50. Caramelized onions are available as RM2 add-on (which we added). While the menu might be simple, the flavour is anything but.
The first bite confirms the hype. The patty is beautifully seasoned, delivering that classic "good burger" flavour. The "smash" technique creates a compact patty cooked to perfection. The soft, fresh bun perfectly holds everything together without getting soggy.
The secret home made sauce (made with 7 secret ingredients!) is not heavy, which allows the burger to rely more on the natural flavours of the high-quality beef. This creates a delightful balance, with the slight crunch of the added pickle.
Local Area Burger has earned its viral fame. Their Smashburger is a masterclass in simplicity and flavour. The perfectly seasoned beef, the crispy patty, the fresh buns, and the secret sauce all come together in perfect harmony. If you're looking for a delicious no nonsense and affordable burger experience in TTDI, Local Area Burger is a must-visit!
