We can feel our arteries getting clogged just by looking at this.
A restaurant in Penang recently made many a jaw drop after a video by food blog Penang Foodie featuring its Musang King Burger went viral on social media.
Dubbed the "First in Malaysia", the heart-stopping combo of durian and cheese is the brainchild of Ric's Burger, a burger joint in Bayan Lepas, Penang and costs RM25.90 per pop.

Not only is the burger drenched with a super thick melted cheese and durian sauce, the patty itself is made with Musang King durian stuffed with mozzarella cheese and butter
The patty is then coated with egg and breadcrumbs before being deep-fried and topped with the aforementioned rich sauce. Methinks that's a nose bleed waiting to happen.
