Let’s agree with one thing: you can never go wrong with a juicy beef burger. But have you tried the extra crusty version of beef patties, widely known as “smash burgers”? These burgers give out that satisfying combination of crunch and juiciness, leaving you yearning for more.
If you haven’t, you might be missing out! There is this local stall called Local Area Burger (LAB), that makes these smash burgers, introducing the classic American cheeseburger concept to our local food scene. Their burger patties are handmade using 100% Halal Australian Beef, ensuring top-tier quality in every serving.

Why are they called Smash Burgers?
Smash burgers are uses a unique cooking technique. The technique involves “smashing” a ball of ground beef on the hot griddle. The result? A quick browning process that creates an irresistibly crusty texture on the surface of those patties, yet juicy and tender on the inside.

The chef slices the patties thinly, then smashes them between cheddar cheese and caramelised onions. Finally, he tops them with freshly cut lettuce and smothers them in their secret special sauce. The sauce has a slight tanginess that cuts through the grease, making the burger taste well-balanced.
Choose your preferred level of crustiness
The LAB Burger menu is simple: choose your patty count (single or double) and whether you want onions.
You can choose your preferred number of patties but we strongly recommend going for a double stack, so you can spoil yourself with that extra crunch and beefy goodness.
Among their offerings, the LAB Smash Double with Onions stands out as a clear crowd favourite! This burger is a harmonious blend of sweet caramelised onions, lusciously melted cheese, and those irresistible, craggy patty crusts. Together, they create a certified classic burger that treats your taste buds to a symphony of textures and flavours with every delightful bite.
How about the price?
These burgers are incredibly pocket-friendly, with prices ranging from just RM9.20 to RM15.50. Considering the top-quality ingredients and the unique cooking technique employed, they truly offer exceptional value for your money.
Don’t hesitate to drag your burger-loving friends for a casual lepak session and savour these delicious burgers!
