Thanks for replying. No, we have definitely not closed down and are still going strong, with the Pork Burgers now running up to the P10 and a whole bunch of other stuff on the menu being as babified as ever!.. lolz

I believe that the rumor of Cristang being closed down could come from my other halal outlet that I had in KL before on Asian Heritage Row which I did close down 2 years ago. That one also had the pronunciation “Cristang” but was spelt as Kristao.

I look forward to seeing you again at Cristang.

No surprises there :) I am not to say super famous or anything. Anyway, it is always a pleasant to find owners taking such interest in replying to a blog post. I have to agree that the brinjals is a bit “unique”. Haha maybe I’ll try a different style when I am there.

I must say that I am glad that you replied this thread because there were rumours that Cristang has closed down. So now that I know you are not, I will definitely come and get my next dose of your burgers :)

Believe it or not, with all the combing of the internet that I do to find out what people are saying of us and our food, this is the first time I have come across your write up on Cristang. I would like to say thank you for your honest and kind words in regards to all the dishes that you had savored.

I would like to point out that in regards to the burgers, while the recipe has not changed since I created it, I have increased the size of the burgers, in addition to that, dishes like the Sauteed Shitake Mushrooms have had a makeover and is now one of the more popular starters/Tapas dishes that we have in addition to the Devils, Otak-Otak and the Shrimp Scampi.

As for the brinjals… welll… it is coated with white and black pepper and the sauce is a soy a lime sauce sauteed with fresh cut chili slices and onions. The end result taste will be ‘unique’ to say the least, as I had indicated in the menu. I do know that some of the Malaccan Portuguese dishes can be foreign to as not many of it is actually out there in the general market. I do hope that you will have a better experience with out brinjals if you do come by to try them again (hmmmm… that sounded a bit salah, but what the hell! We all need a good laugh once in awhile!)

Cheers Nicholas!
Please do call on me the next time that you do come by.
