Chili's and Chilies (4.1.2009)

This day in history is one of those days which can make you laugh love and live at the same time.

Faith turns a year older and we wanted to celebrate with her. Zhang Song, Dawson, Vighnath, Nicole (Faith's younger sister) , Me and of course Birthday Girl herself went to Chili's Grill and Bar in KLCC after church. Its been a long time we havent gone out together as a group, what more close frends.

Vigh said the burgers there are to die for. Can he be that serious about burgers? Ive yet to meet a burger i can die for OR die of. McD's are already not on the list of A grade burgers. So lets see what Chili's have to offer.


Standing outside the restaurant waiting to be seated.....we all peeked at the menu. And by golly, what a menu......

Big Mouht burgers with 7oz patties..........now thats freaky. But then again i've been seeing too much"Not as advertised" burgers. Ramly's n McD's are perfect examples. So is KFC.

Fajita's, bottomless chips, magaritas, spirits, steaks, country meals.........this was really mouth watering. The price was even more eye catching.

We go to sit down after 10 minutes wait (not bad) and the service was just excellent. 5/5.



Dawson and me couldnt stop taking photos of the whole place. The table, the bar, the menus. Haha. I had one of the best and i should say fastest menu browsing experience. The menu's description of the food is just top class.

The magaritas just looked so tempting, but at RM20++ per glass.....well i'll try it next time. The Southern Sling was my choice. Its a blend of bananas, strawberries, pineapple with vanila ice cream. Simply awesome. Topped with a nice orange slice.

Simply heavenly...

L- R : Guava (ZS's) , Apple (Dawsons) , Tomato(Vighs) not in pic (Nicole's Chocolate Banana shake)

The Bar.....

So our drinks arrived......and then came our first sniff of a wonderful meal......Bottomless Tostada Chips.....bottomless meaning........ FREE REFILLS!!! These were the best chips with the best salsa sauce ever! We had 4 rounds of these.


And then.......came the star of the day. The Big One. The Champion. The Incredible. The Big Mought Burgers! We all ordered different types......but all have one thing in common.........SIZE DOES MATTER!

This is no illusion or trick. This is the real deal. A burger 4 1/2 inches wide and almost 4 inches tall! Im not exaggerating here. And the fries were just jumbo! They were as big as my finger! One word i can say.......... fulamak......

And then came the Buffalo wings....
We were in for a real treat......and the first thing we pondered........How do u take a bite of a nearly 4 inch tall burger? Explains the fork and knife now! But being true Malaysians.......we want to go out in style.......getting our hands and mouth and the whole table in a mess. Hahahaha.
So what else we dug in. Laughing and having a good time.

The one thing we all also noticed.........we all got one hell of a jaw exercise! I mean frankly speaking.....if you dont have a jaw of a python or the jaws of a cow (which can chew food for long periods)...... you will need a jaw surgery after this meal. Our jaws were getting sore and stiff. I think i almost dislocated mine as well......

Oil was leaking out the backside of all our burgers. Dawson nearly fainted eating his last bite. I had a good fight with my BBQ Ranch burger. Vigh was rather quiet. Zhang Song enjoyed every moment. Faith took her own sweet time. And her buns got soaked in oil and sauce! And Nicole was busy getting around the whole thing. Vigh apparently chose the wrong drink. You wont wana be stuffed with a half kilo burger and then down pure tomato juice. LOL!

Poor old Dawson needed help with the fries. Captain Darren (CD) to the rescue then.


Faith broke the record by still having a piece of burger hanging from her fingers after 1.5 hours


And after almost 2 struggling hours of eating (we came in at 3pm, food arrived at 3.20 and we ate till 5pm) we were done.


Sadly though Faith could not finish her burger. She met her match. But.......i guess im still unmatched on the table.......

I took the last bite........

Man! Lunch has never been so awesome as this! And we are now contemplating a 10 round Tosada Chip refill! Sounds achievable yes? Well if 10 of us went it will be!

Well after this wonderful time of fellowship and lunch i had to say goodbye to the guys. They want ed to walk about to digest the food. Meanwhile i had to run over (not literally run but take LRT) to Time Square coz me dad was waiting there for me since like 2pm! Gosh.......sorry dad to make you wait. I dont really feel nice making people wait for me. But i dont mind waiting for people though. XD

Anyway found my dad sipping a drink in Time Square having just finished browsing at Borders. We were to get him a mouse and a pendrive. Since he wasnt so familiar with Low Yat so i had to take him around. Got the stuff we needed.........but.............before we left.......

Dad wanted to LOOK at some digicams. Since our film cam was abt to KO. I was fine with LOOKING. So we went to FOTOKEM and looked around. Then he sat down and asked this lovely salesgirl.......can i have a look at the cheapest camera? She shows an Olympus FE-320 and FE-340. Both were abt RM550.

Dad you got to be serious?! We were not suppose to get this and he really looked bent on purchasing it. After some explanation abt the features by our salesgirl....... dad looked at me , "You think this is OK?" I was really stumped and i just said "Its up to you....". I really really didnt expect this. Well yes buying a camera is something nice. But buying it unexpectedly was the thing that caught me off guard. Anyway........dad just gave the nod and handed over the credit card.

JUST LIKE THAT. We got a camera. Olympus FE-340. Out of the blue. Gosh, i wish i could do that.Ours was silver.....not this red color.......

Well God has blessed dad financially even he's in retirement. So well.....dads been working hard all these 30 years. I guess he deserves something which he hasnt owned yet. Oh yeah......and then came the big surprise. He REALLY placed an order for a new Myvi...... Im just out of words today........

So after we did our "shopping".......we went over to Time Square Starbucks coz dad asked me to test the wifi on the lappie and also do some stuff. Got there sipping nice orange juice with the lappie n my dad. After sorting out a simple IP fix and wala......we were surfing wifi in Starbucks. My first time actually surfing in Starbucks. Now i feel like the rest of the class. LOL. At least.

Taught dad how to save and download pics from the net and put on desktop background. Did some admin work. Then had those usual father and son talks. =)

By 9.30 we left and to be frank........the burger was still in me. One heck of a burger. Then we went to Jalan Alor's famous beef noodles. And the chili here was reputed as the best in Malaysia. I got a small bowl of noodles. Then i tried the chili.............

This was the killer........

If u dont have a fire hydrant next to you i suggest u get a firetruck at least. This chili was a power punch of a chili. It has this super max taste of lime ginger red chilies garlic onions and God knows what other ingredients. Its like a californian wild fire in my mouth. And my nose became Niagara falls. But it was darn good stuff no doubt. Phew.

And after this whole day of tired jaws and burnt tongues.......dad sent me home.

Chili's and Chilies Day.
