"Size does matter" is what they say. And the people at Streaky Hot Dogs do take it very seriously if you take a look at their wieners...I mean sausages.
Looking relatively new in the midst to "to let"s and "for sales", the place is minimalistic with funky art on the walls. Painted as well as hung canvases. Minimal menu with only pork sausages (bockwurst - smooth texture on the inside with a chewy skin. Think a balloon of meat in the shape of a sausage, if you've bought German sausages with the soft smooth creamy meat textures, this is it; and bratwurst - coarser meat texture) and chicken (chicken bockwurst). No beef sausages are on the menu as of yet but they are apparently working on it. Apparently.
Weird combinations with equally cute names such as Samurai, Shroom, Wasabi, Humpty Dumpty are available with different combinations on toppings. Or if you like the down to basics stuff, go for a Naked Dog (RM 10.90) which is a "plain basic hotdog" as they say.
Top ups are available to turn your hot dogs into sets:
Set 1- add on RM 6 for fries and bottomless drinks
Set 2- add on RM 10 for chilli fries and bottomless drinks
Set 3- add on RM 12 for chilli cheese fries and bottomless drinks
The set 3 combo with my Samurai (japanese cucumber, crispy tofu pok, bacon bits, mentaiko sauce - from the menu) hotdog came to RM 27.90 with no GST and service charge.
Food comes a little slow but if you have friends I guess you might not really notice it. The chilli cheese fries were really sweet. Yes not as sweet as you but it was sweet. And not really the kind that made me happy despite my love for cakes and sweets. The amount of cheese on the fries were like pencil shavings when I sit for my English paper. And I use a pen for my English paper. Come on, Carl's Jr puts more cheese than that! Granted I know that mozzarella is pretty expensive. Sharp cheddar then! Or mix it, I don't know. The rule when it comes to cheese - you go big or you go home.
The hotdog itself was another story. Now if you always wanted to know how it felt like to almost break your jaw. Or if you want to - for some odd reason- attempt to break your jaw, may I suggest you to do it by eating this gigantic huge hot dog with a hard 50 cent (old coin) wide wiener. Sausage. The bread plus bun plus toppings, is almost hard to get everything in one bite while looking like the gentle and graceful lady I usually am. Instead I was back to being a snotty nosed brat who picked apart her burger. Really tho, it's HUGE. And the thing about hot dogs is, it's the best when eating it all together. Do you pick apart your sandwhich? No? Exactly! Do you pick apart your burger? Yes? What are you doing with your life? Things like these are meant to be eaten in a bite and if you can't I don't see how a big thick sausage will make any difference.
The toppings were barely of any significance. Eaten separately, the mentaiko sauce was more towards mayo...and more mayo while the tofu and bacon did give a crunch, it didn't contribute to the flavour. Eaten together the taste of the sausage just overwhelms everhthing and make the things like tofu pok and cucumber disappear into the background like a forgotten boy band. The bread was soft. It was soft.
So yes, while size does matter. What is important is ultimately the skill...of putting together a harmonious hot dog. Big doesn't mean better. Unless it's a competition of whose is bigger.
