Figo's Restaurant, Hillside, Tanjung Bungah

there's a new Mexica, Portugese, Nyonya restaurant in town. in Hillside, Tanjung Bungah actually. it's opposite the Esso station. the place is very simple, new, clean, tables had checkard table cloths, and minimal table deco. when we went there, there were not many customers but still had some, and it seems they have more customers during lunch. cause when we wanted Portugese food, they were all out! hmm.....

prices are quite reasonable and it's non-halal. and because it's non-halal, i went for the pork! as usual! :P i believe they also have daily specials, cause we saw some dishes listed on a blackboard behind the cashier. they also sell desserts and beers.
my cousin was craving for some Mexican food, and lucky they had barritos! i had a bite and it was actually lovely!!! maybe next time must go order that. huge portions too! with side dish of BBQ sauce, mix veg, mustard/salad cream. it was a set meal that was on the blackboard and it came with a Pepsi.

i ordered pork chops but it came in a style of chicken cordon-bleu (ham and cheese wrapped in pork, breaded and deep-fried) it came with baked potatoes with some cream and fresh veg. i had a mini "tree" on my plate = brocolli LOL the meat was tender and juicy. it had a good amount of cheese. but they were quite skint on the gravy. i had to ask for more hehehe...

the most surprising meal we had was the Sloppy Burger!! and it was sloppy in deed!! my friend wasn't too hungry and saw that Sloppy Burger was under the "Snacks" section, so we all thought it was gonna be a normal sized burger. when it came.... whoah!!!



it's obviously a pork burger but was filled with veg and onions as well. how they cooked the pork was quite nice too! but pity there weren't "much" of the pork. more veg than ever. this burger also came with sides of more veg, BBQ sauce and salad cream.

just to show how big this "snack" is, here she poses with it. lol.
she nearly got locked jaw doing this! hahaha but in the end,
the filling was finished but not the bread, abit too much of it. :D

bottom line we all enjoyed our meals and all agreed that we have to come back again to try the other dishes on the menu. i'm actually looking forward to the portugese food though... and maybe the pork steak.. hmm.... so this place is near Ingolf, just opposite Esso. you won't miss it, they have large signboards :) i recommend to try out this place, i'll be going back there soon! :D
