GENTING HIGHLANDS: The world famous London-based Burger & Lobster chain, which specialises in beef burgers and Nova-Scotia lobsters, has officially opened at Resorts World Genting.
The 3,500 sq ft Burger & Lobster restaurant, which can house 150 diners, is the first in Asia and has proven to be a must-visit for visitors since its soft opening in December.
Long queues on weekends have become a familiar sight at Burger & Lobster, located at Level 1 of the newly-opened SkyAvenue mall, with the popular restaurant registering a whopping 800-1,000 covers per day during super peak periods such as festive season and public holidays.
The restaurant also features a huge lobster tank on display, housing scores of lobsters in varying sizes.
The restaurant had its official opening on Monday, where more than 100 guests were hosted to a party where they savoured plump and juicy fresh wild live lobsters flown from Canada.
Guests enjoyed a sumptuous main course serving of lobsters that were available in three signature styles – The Original, The Big Boy, and Chili Lobster.
The 650-700 gm grilled and steamed lobsters were served with lemon and garlic butter sauce, chips, and salad.
Also available was its specialty, chili lobster served in claypot and brioche, which is specially catered for this restaurant. The menu in Malaysia generally shares a theme identical to the Burger & Lobster restaurant in London which has perfected the techniques of grilling and serving lobsters.
Equally on demand were the restaurant’s burgers. These ranged from the B&L Burger which features 224 gm supreme grade beef from Australia topped with lobster meat. Also available was The Mayfair which has a 168 gm of beef topped with the cheese, lettuce, tomato, house made pickles, onions, and B&L sauce in a custom baked sesame seed brioche bun.
The original Burger & Lobster restaurant, the brainchild of four friends, began in a small Irish pub in Mayfair, London, in 2011.
At present, there are 20 Burger & Lobster restaurants worldwide encompassing several cities such as Dubai, New York and Stockholm.
