Gila, Kanyang Ku Eh! : A Poklen’s Eating Place Review

Original post here.


Sugar Bun, Gadong Location

The only thing you need to know about the location is that it’s on the ‘G-Town Strip’… albeit at the very edge. It is however a stone’s throw away from the purple-bus stop. Silver lining in every cloud and all that.

Menu

The classic western fast food menu has always been a personal preference for most Sugar Bun customers. A bite of their ‘broasted’ chicken almost feels as good as having a smoke outside the front entrance of the mall. Adding some savoury rice and pickles would make you forget about the mall altogether.

Their range of burgers is also guaranteed to flood your underwear with joy… and don’t even think about adding their delicious chilli sauce to the meals. It’d have you screaming so much you’d be arrested for indecent exposure. They also recently added Asian & Italian dishes to the mix… with the great Sambal Eco-Fish being the standout. It doesn’t get too much more poklen than that.

Staff

Well like all fast food place workers in Brunei, they’re pretty slow. They’re really friendly though… but then again I look like an albino ogre.

As a poklen, the appearance of the staff members is a vital part of my final judgment. Fortunately for them, the tasty dishes aren’t only laid out on the plates… Yummm… and I swear I’m not gay… I just enjoy talking like one… and dressing like one… and the Venga Boys are my musical religion.

Price (Essential)

None of the dishes cost double figures… so jaws won’t be dropped. You don’t have to hurt your brain counting past 10… believe me I know how hard that is. Don’t miss out. If you have extra cash lying round and you want to make that step up from Nasi Katok, turn to Sugar Bun for your next exotic dining experience.

Extras

If you’re lucky you get to witness the ‘Sugar Bunny’ in action. Its awesome cause bunnies are associated to playboy when it comes to poklens (even if it looks nothing like one). Cool kali ah.

Verdict

If Sugar Bun was a piece of bling, it’d be a dog tag. That’s how tight it is yo. This place is worth sacrificing some of that CoffeeZone / Coffee Bean time… but not too much. Whoring yourself around outside when it’s clearly too hot or rainy is still a must in poklen culture.

- I only went to WyWy once and I think they are unreasonably over priced for a normal restaurant. Service sucked like hell. A little smile would have been better.
-I think they hv been victimised by someone who has some grudge against them!
-To close the matter for once and for all, we need another independent lab test to reconfirm.
