Joe's Burger, Desa Sri Hartamas (Yellow Submarine)

We had always heard about a burger stall that makes his own burger patties for years. It was only till we came across April's blog that we got the stall right. Burgers have experienced a culinary evolution with the proliferation of restaurants turning burgers into gourmet ones. Street burgers nonetheless have remained stoic to this revolution; as such we had to visit Joe’s immediately.

Joe's burger is located in the alley adjacent to the fire station in Sri Hartamas. Look out for a yellow submarine ... truck. There are plenty of tables and chairs for those that want to dine and cushions. Patrons can opt for a pseudo-Arabian nights experience. The burgers are not only scrumptious but also discerning. One bite will tell you straightaway this is no street burger. This is no sloppy mess leaving your fingers and thumbs covered in mayonnaise and chili, and the condiments do not crowd the taste of the patty.
The lesson here is sometimes doing the opposite can produce great results. This is a great burger at a great price.

Of course we couldn’t do a street burger review without tasting a Ramly burger but we were disappointed. Albeit singing praises for his gourmet burger, the Ramly burger was ordinary. That said we don’t think binge buddies are looking for a sloppy Joe as far as Joe is concern this time. Joe also serves a full menu and drinks so check that too.
