"Heaven In A Brown Paper Bag", Eating Out @Five Guys Pavilion Damansara
Last Friday, I went to eat at Five Guys at Pavilion Damansara for lunch. Currently, there are only 3 outlets for Five Guys in Malaysia and the other ones are at Genting and Pavilion Bukit Bintang. I used to live in California but I never tried this fast food joint. My mom said it wasn't that good but I still wanted to try it for myself. I went to eat alone while my mom, grandma and aunts went for a bakuteh restaurant. I didn't really want to eat bakuteh and I saw the reviews for that restaurant weren't that good so I opted for Five Guys.
It wasn't that crowded as it was a bit early and this mall is still fairly new. There's still a lot of shops coming soon and it didn't help that it was a weekday. I went ahead and ordered their anniversary set which came with a cheeseburger, fries and a drink. I didn't take a picture of the drink but I took coke.
The cheese burger came with a double patty. I was able to choose my toppings and sauces. I went with lettuce and tomato with a mayo and bbq sauce. The burger was bigger than I expected which was nice. The beef patty was nice and with everything else you can't really go wrong. For me, it's important the patty is nice for the burger to be good because it's hard to mess up on buns and toppings and sauces.
The fries were nice and had a fair amount of portion for the smallest size. Personally, I liked the fries. They were a bit oily crunchy and just overall yummy.
As for the cost, it came out to almost RM65 which is quite high for a fast food burger restaurant in Malaysia. It's actually the most I've ever spent on a fast food burger restaurant in Malaysia for my own portion. I liked the food but I don't think it was worth the price. I will most likely not be coming back as there are better alternatives at a better price point. I still think in and out from when I was in California was better. If you live in Malaysia, I wouldn't recommend trying Five Guys.

Is it better than mary brown?
o.o I actually never ate mary brown man but I would think it's better? but for the amount of money spent maybe not?
Five Guys has my favorite fast food burgers but they are also the most expensive. They are typically very generous with the fries giving you almost twice as much as whatever container size you ask for (dumping the rest in the bag).
so you feel it's expensive too! Ya I felt the fries were generous because mine was just the small and there was a lot but for that same small, I can almost buy 2.5 large fries at burger king or mcdonalds. How often do you go to five guys?
Very rarely these days. Too expensive to eat out!
ya I feel you TT super expensive. been eating home mostly
Oh I didn't know that Five Guys managed to open a branch in KL!
o.o they have 3 leh. you can go try one :D if you have chance one day
Haha I also tried once but don't recommend trying in Singapore too! It's way too expensive! Can you imagine how much this would cost over here when it's already RM65 over there. ><
but did you like it? :P or nah. ya I can believe that o.o. it's probably 100sgd there
Hahaha no la, it's not 100 SGD. Probably 30-40 SGD for something similar. Hmm I felt it was average fast food, nothing special.
o.o only average. I liked the food but just overpriced :/
Hehe!
o.o u sponsor me next time. cheaper for u with sgd if come here :)
