#travellerswonderland Believe you me when I say Woodfire restaurant in Desaru serves up the best burgers in Malaysia. This stand alone shop is a hidden gem. Tasty gourmet burgers, which are stuffed with 2 to 3 layers worth of ingredients, and a great cheesy and BBQ sauce to go with it is what you can get at Woodfire. Their highly recommended beef brisket burger is worth your calories. It's stuffed with lots of beef goodness that's nicely charred, and it's super juicy. Next burger I loved is their double patty Portobello mushroom burger. It's served with generous amount of cheese sauce. Get their curly fries and milkshakes too. Everything here at Woodfire is pure delicious!
