Burger lovers throughout Malaysia are more than familiar with the good ol’ Ramly burgers that can be found almost anywhere in the country. The aroma of a meaty patty being flipped can tease your taste buds even when you may not have been planning to have one. The burgers come in the usual single or double patties or the “burger special” (patty wrapped in an omelette) with the option of adding cheese to any of these.
