Fat Boy’s The Burger Bar, Publika, Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur

We found ourselves in the vicinity of Publika, Mon’t Kiara one Saturday afternoon and decided to try Fat Boy’s The Burger Bar, as we were in the mood for burgers.


To whet our appetite, we started with a side order of garlic bread (RM5).


Gaj: The garlic bread was mediocre, would not order it again.

Shiv: Nothing to shout about – was slightly dry, and not much garlic-y flavour. We had to wait so long for this to arrive!

Kav: BLAH!!!!! No flavour!!!!!

Since we were in a rather adventurous mood, we decided to have build-your-own burgers as opposed to trying out the ready-made options on the menu.


The first burger we had was with Lamb Patty (RM13), Whole Wheat Bun (RM2), Guacamole (RM3), Portobello Mushroom (RM8), Mozzarella Cheese (RM2.50) with Roasted Garlic Aioli Sauce (RM1.50).



Gaj: Everything about this burger was amazing, except that the Portobello mushroom was not compatible with the lamb.

Shiv: OMG!!! This was soo good. The lamb-guacamole combo was a match made in heaven. The portobello mushroom however was too heavy, and probably shouldn’t have been paired with the lamb. They could have also been more generous with the aioli sauce.

Kav: The patty was really meaty and flavourful and loved the wheat bread. It went perfectly with the creamy guacamole and mozzarella. Agreed that the portobello overwhelmed the other flavours and didn’t complement the lamb.

Next up, we had Pork Patty (RM11), Honey Oat Bun (RM2), Wild Aragula (RM3), Guacamole (RM3), Jalapeno (RM2.50), Sundried Tomatoes (RM2) with Roasted Garlic Aioli Sauce (RM1.50).



Gaj: This was probably the best burger we had. The honey oat bun was perfectly paired with the pork patty.

Shiv: Loved the earthiness of the bun, and the aragula-guacamole-jalapeno combo with the pork was sublime! Would recommend this one, although you should probably omit the sundried tomatoes, as it was a tad too sweet.

Kav: Definitely the best burger of the three we had. The earthy honey oat bun went perfectly with the savoury herb-y pork patty, which was flavoured to perfection. The creamy Guacamole, the nut-y and slightly bitter arugula together with the sharpness of the jalapeno complemented the other elements. Scrumptious!!!

The last burger we tried had Chicken Patty (RM10), Sesame Bun (RM2), Bacon (RM3), Wild Aragula (RM3), Jalapeno (RM2.50), Mozzarella Cheese (RM2.50) with Roasted Garlic Aioli Sauce (RM1.50).



Gaj: I was not a big fan of the chicken patty, but the bacon was very good and made up for it.

Shiv: Chicken patty was a bit bland, and the lacklustre sesame bun did little for the overall taste of this burger. However, the bacon and cheese did compensate mildly for the lack of flavour in the chicken patty.

Kav: Average. Didn’t like the bun used. The patty was very average; did NOT pack a punch. They could have been more generous with the bacon. I also didn’t like the chicken-arugula combo as the patty was too bland and it probably would have tasted better with jalapenos.

Verdict: WOK ON!

PRICE: Reasonable (total bill = RM 94.55 for 3pax).

AMBIENCE: Very laid back – suitable place for families with kids.

SERVICE: Bad – the waiters did not understand what we were asking for and to make matters worse, were not even friendly! The food also took very long to arrive, despite the joint being practically empty (we were there at 4pm).

FOOD: Good – the burger patties were tasty and there was a wide selection of add-ons to choose from for the build-your-own burger option.
