Ampang's Sloppy Joe

Tried my first Ampang's "Sloppy Joe" 2 hours ago...with great dissapointment :( Here is my story...

Last week my cousin informed me about this so called mouth watering Ramly Burger infront of 7-11 at Ampang (near the International school & SPCA). I read few blogs and reviews about the place complete with YouTube videos. Most of them claimed that the stall made the best ramly burger in town. I was tempted by the look at the pix and videos.

I was eagered to try it and tonight I had the opportunity to check out the place. Went there with Pidah. Ordered special beef for me and special chicken for Pidah. We saw the hot pan were covered in oil/grease. So the burger patties were actually half deep fried not grilled. To our surprised the eggs and cheese were also fried in those grease. "Hmmmm...no wonder it is sloppy...the grease made it sloppy rupanya" I said to myself. I didn't see lea & perrin sause around so not sure if the stall owner use it in his burger like other bloggers informed me earlier. Paid RM7 and got in the car. We open our burger wrappers...had out first bite and kuang kuang kuang kuanggggg...dissapointed to the rooftop! huaaaaaa what a spoiler. Not only it doesn't taste as good as we expected...it doesn't live up to the standard of the ramly burger I made at home. It was very greasy...the chilli sauce not spicy enough...and not enough vege (only 1 slice of cucumber and a small chunk of cabbage and chopped onion).

Both of us suddenly remember the best ramly burger we ever tasted years ago at a Ramly stall infront of MacDonald Jalan Silang. My college was just across the road so I was a regular there during lunch hour...always ordered beef burger with everything extra! extra mayo extra vegs extra chilli and extra tissues/napkin. I just said "Bro! daging 1 semua lebih ek!". Always ate my burger while sitting on the flower bench next to the stall looking at people cramping around the wheeled stall waiting for their burgers. It was sloppy and slurpy...the BEST I've ever tasted TO DATE. Me and Pidah were wondering where are that bro now. For sure he wasn't at Jalan Silang anymore. Last time I bought his burger was in 1999 where he already moved his stall behind MacD (between MacD and Kenny Rogers). Haven't seen him since. BRO!!!!! I miss your burgerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.................

So two thumbs down for this well known Ampang Ramly burger from me and my cousin. Sorry mate...we may not be on the same page as you guys are if you still say the burger is the best you ever tasted.
