Kuala Lumpur will become the latest global city to house a Black Tap restaurant, with its other locations include the Venetian Resort Las Vegas, the Disneyland Resort, Bahrain, Iraq Singapore, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.
But unlike the other burger parlours in town, Black Tap offers a point of difference wholly based on its geographical and cultural provenance. The restaurant will transmit the infectious and boundless energy of New York, the birthplace of hip-hop. You can expect the outlet to be a conservatory of old-school hip-hop oeuvre, like those of Wu-Tang Clan, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C. and more. Its walls will be vivified with commissioned murals and graffiti arts by local artists – a practice replicated in all its outlets.
While the menu for the Malaysia outpost is yet to be announced, if you happen to be in New York, you can add a couple of dollars extra to upgrade from classic French fries to jumbo onion rings to go with your burgers. Signatures include the self-explanatory Pizza Burger and the Falafel Burger. The Champs Burger will send you straight into food coma.
As for milkshakes, there are eight variations, each is generously portioned to satiate more than one person. The Cake Shake is a milkshake crowned with a confetti cake, while the Brooklyn Blackout is endowed with a whole brownie. We will be praying that KL’s Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes offers all of those and more.
