Cristang at 8 Avenue.

I'm currently employed under a one month consultancy contract at an advertising agency, which makes me a colleague of a certain June Liew, who is a knowledgeable foodie in her own rights.

This is the first in the 'June' series of expeditions...

Cristang, is a dimly lit restaurant with an expansive menu that is probably more suited for a dinner and beer occasion.

But we're here for one2two, and the sound of a home-style pork and petai burger sounds too good to be true.

They name this 'Urban Legend'.

The potato wedges are real and roasted with skin. The buns are toasted lightly to slightly crispy. The generous portion of minced pork and petai (stink beans) sits comfortably on top the thick and juicy pork patty. The freshly sliced onions, tomatoes and greens complete the masterpiece.

I'd pay RM23++, again and again, for this.

Among the many choices of pork, chicken and fish dishes, the spicy-sounding Bacon Rib Ambila caught our attention. And our instincts were deadly right. RM18.80 well spent. Plus an extra RM1.30 for a complementing plate of white rice.

Tucked away at B-G-19, 8 Avenue, Jalan Sungai Jernih (8/1), PJ, this is a perfect joint for vampires seeking to escape KL's blistering afternoon sun, and an excellent pork and beer one2two.
