For the past six months, patrons have entered Puchong's Mision by Burgertory with a purpose: To sink their teeth into succulent, freshly grilled pork, from coveted cuts like Spanish iberico abanico to crowd-pleasers like chunky, plump sausages, plus playful pastas and princely pork burgers, coupled with cool craft beers and kombucha.
Mision is more than a family-friendly restaurant: It's a protein powerhouse where customers can choose from a variety of pork - as well as Japanese Miyazaki A5 beef, New Zealand lamb chops and Norwegian salmon - showcased in the chiller.
If you purchase the meat to bring home, you'll enjoy a 15% discount off the reasonable prices. And if you have the meat expertly cooked in Mision's kitchen for dine-in here, no cooking fee is charged. Both ways, it's a win-win situation!
Fun fact: As its name indicates, Mision is a spin-off of Subang's long-enduring Burgertory pork burger specialist, broadening the brand's horizons beyond burgers, becoming a potent force in Puchong for meat-based Western fare.
If you're exploring Mision for the first time, the Iberico Abanico (RM49) is the indulgence to try. It's the iberico equivalent of a juicy, tasty beef steak, bursting with full-bodied tenderness, brimming with a delicious depth of pure premium flavour.
Mision's experienced team knows how to treat its meat with respect - this marvellously marbled cut has a clean, natural intensity, so it needs no heavy marination. Grilled pristinely with sea salt, pepper and rosemary for the perfect char, it's served with the elegant simplicity of carrots, grain mustard, garlic chips, olives and brown sauce, free of distractions.
Iberico ribs are the caveman's choice, enjoyable to tear off the bone, with a lightly caramelised sweetness that yields to moist flesh inside, subtly seasoned with a pleasant balance of paprika, onions, garlic and coriander seeds (RM73).
Iberico rib fingers (RM36) are ideal for snacking and sharing, good for go with beer. Once you start, you might not be able to stop munching!
Side dishes such as Mision's Healthy Salad, Sweet Corn Salad, Bacon Potato Salad, Cheese Fries and Truffle Chips can be added on to round out the meal.
With so many sausages to select from, bratwurst buffs will be spoiled for choice here.
Mision also serves pastas like the Avocado Bacon (RM29), a creative concoction of pappardelle tossed in a thick blend of luscious fresh avocado, cream and bacon, showered with savoury crispy bacon and cheddar - a unique speciality that avocado devotees will desire.
True to its roots, Mision also serves a selection of Burgertory burgers, so that residents of Puchong, Bukit Jalil and Cheras have a physically closer venue for their fix of pork burgers. These include longtime stalwarts like the Burgertory Classic and Swine Bacon & Cheese, plus the beef-based Badass Cowboy and fried chicken sandwich called Chicken Drum Drum.
There's one Mision exclusive that Burgertory buffs should travel here for: The HamDog (RM34 with fries) is a monumental burger, heaped with cabbage slaw and cheddar cheese over Burgertory's signature pork patty, with a gorgeously grilled sausage to pair with the patty.
Mision and Burgertory have perfected the art of burgers - the 150-gram pork patty is lovingly cooked to order, taking 15 minutes to assemble, so it's certainly not commercialised fast food. Even the bun is meticulously crafted, fermented for 12 hours, resulting in firm, flavoursome bread that holds it own beautifully.
If it's too early for beer, never fear: Mision's range of Summer Kombucha (RM11) sparkles with lively flavours and fragrances - seasonal beverages like the Strawberry Rose or the Guava offer a perky, wholesome counterpoint to the food.
