Kuala Lumpur 3 - Burger kaw- kaw

Kuala Lumpur (The Star/ANN) - Would you wait three hours just to buy a burger from a roadside stall?

Many customers are willing to take a number and queue that long just to get a taste of the famous grilled burgers offered at the Kaw Kaw Burger Bakar roadside stall in Wangsa Maju.

Loyal customers do not mind waiting for the chicken and beef burgers.

¿We start taking orders at 7.45pm and customers are given queue numbers," stated a sign in front of the stall.

However, it can take up to three hours to get your burger.

The stall is owned by two young entrepreneurs, Mohd Faizul Baharudin or Zul, 26, and Nini Haznita Muhammad or Nita, 25.

Zul attributed the popularity of the burgers to the fresh meat and grilling technique used.

¿People like something new. They want to know what a burger bakar tastes like.

¿Furthermore our prices are good for such huge portions," he told mStar Online.

The stall gets an average of 250 orders a day. Nita said their prices range from 7.50 ringgit (US$2.50) to 18.50 ringgit ($6) but the cost can vary.

¿We have sold a burger known as the Tower 20' which had 20 meat patties. The price was about 150 ringgit ($49)," she said.

Nita said KPI for each order is one minute and 25 seconds.

¿About 50 orders can be completed in an hour," she added.

According to Nita, they only prepared 100 burger patties a day when they moved here last December.

¿However, this has increased to 1,000 patties a day after three months due to the encouraging response," she said.

The stall operates from 7.45pm until 2am everyday except Mondays.
