~ BUNS & MEAT ~
As the gourmet burger wave catches on in Klang Valley, the founder-proprietor of Bites Cafe (a breakfast & coffee joint) decided to go in a slightly different direction by introducing "Buns & Meat" to the city's diners. Starting the menu with 20 over items - Gourmet burgers, hot dogs, pasta, pork ribs, pizzas, soup and salad - Robin Lim tested and tried out their recipes before introducing it into the menu.
Buns & Meat's setting is simple - soothing, relax and casual environment for family and friends to gather and dine.

Buns & Meat's owner Robin Lim aims to give customers a brand new burger experience with selections of pork or chicken gourmet burgers served with pasta & ham salad with fries on the side. Customers will be able to choose among six scrumptious choices - as follows:
We were served with the 4 varieties of burgers at one go, but I shall review them in the order of the BEST to the LEAST favourite based on my personal preference and taste.
Runny Mess
RM 20.90
Top in my list is an awesomely messy but delicious - Runny Mess. Buns & Meat's signature home made pork and bacon patty topped with a poached egg and covered with cheesy sauce. The meat itself is not too dry, leaving enough juices to soak with the melted cheese and runny poached egg. The 160 gm patty is sure to fill up even the most hungry of diners. The burger comes with a crispy helping of fries too. Highly recommended for pork and egg lovers!
Spicy Korean Ribs Burger
RM 16.90
Ranking 2nd Best is the Spicy Korean Ribs Burger. Sandwiched between two buttery bun is a flavourful de-boned pork ribs meat topped with Korean spicy glaze and heaped with lettuce, onions and tomatoes slices. Considerably fancier, with slightly different ingredients compared to the base pork patty and pork bacon cheese burger.
Buns & Meat - Buttery Burger Bun
Worth mentioning is Robin managed to get a reliable source for his special burger bun made according to his personal in-house recipe and special requirement. In fact, I would loved eating Buns & Meat's burger bun by itself as it was smelling so sweet and buttery, great to be eaten if dip in my favourite local black 'kopi' .....
Grilled Chicken Burger with Cheese & Black Pepper
RM 16.90
Chicken lovers or non-pork eater will love this Grilled Chicken Burger with Cheese & Black Pepper. For this chicken burger, the patty is mouthwatering grilled chicken thigh topped with black pepper sauce together with lettuce, onions and tomatoes. The taste is further enhanced with additions such the house made black pepper sauce.
Char Siew Burger
RM 16.90
Another interesting creation at Buns & Meat is the Char Siew Burger. Nestled between two buttery burger bun, the Char Siew Burger features a juicy house made pork patty, sweet roasted pork Char siew, melted cheese drizzled with mayonnaise , and loaded with crispy lettuce, fresh tomato and onion.
Robin added that he decided to go in a slightly direction by introducing Asian infused burgers to the city's diners. He tweaked and make some adjustment to suit the local tastes, modify the western style burgers with various seasoning and ingredients, such as Pork Char siew for local palates.
A bit on the saltier side due to the char siew sauce toppings but you can tell the waiter to go low on the sauce when ordering. Other than that, this enormous burger that is wider than the human jaw tasted just awesome with the ingredients blend together very well. The Char Siew Burger would be popular and enjoyable among the pork Char siew lovers.
Buns & Meat also offers an array of other items such as hot dogs, pork ribs, pasta, pizza, desserts and side orders. We sampled 5 various types of delicious pork hot dogs with different kind of exciting toppings on the menu.

Spicy Korean Pork Ribs
RM 42.90
Perfect flavour of Spicy Korean Pork Ribs, something different from the usual. The fork-tender meat was bursting with spicy flavours of the spices it was marinated and cooked in. Coated with gooey, spicy and savoury layer of Korean sauce, it were licked clean that night and finger-licking good too. Although it was served with fries, I was prefer it with creamy mash potatoes to balance out the taste.
Signature BBQ Pork Ribs
RM 44.90
Traditionally cooked classic BBQ Pork Ribs with a tender texture infused with savoury, smoky flavour waking up our taste buds. The ribs tasted even better than it looked and best enjoyed with your bare hands.

RM 11.90
Now for a little twist to the burger and fries, Buns & Meat offers something different - Porki-li-cious Pulled Pork Fries. Dig in to a new lip-smacking experience with crispy, hot fries topped with tender slowed-cooked Spicy Pulled Pork Fries.
Pork Bacon Aglio-olio
RM 16.90
Classic and simple all-time-favourite, a light pasta dish of penne cooked with fried pork bacon, mushroom, herbs and chopped dried chillies for added spiciness. It had the right balance with the smoky saltiness of streaky pork bacon to satisfy any pasta or ham addicts !
Salted Peanut Butter Cake
RM 13.90
Bailey's Cheese Cake
RM 13.90
Perfect Combination: Coffee & Cakes
Our dessert came in the form of home-made cakes - Salted Peanut Butter Cake and Bailey's Cheese Cake. Both were perfect ending to our pleasing and satisfying porki-licious dining experience in Buns & Meat!
