Lecker Hotdog
The notion where some Chinese national throws himself à corps perdu into jury-rigging yankee-style coneys beggars belief, not least bemuses, nevertheless that's how Jiangxi native Huang Xin rolls. All because he thought it canny to quit his software engineering job of 17 years and sidle (here) China's current momentary caprice for wieners in buns. So, following one hot dog-making workshop attended, Huang's nurse wife warming up to his "meshuga" gambit plus them fronting 50 grand together, Lecker (actually Deutsche for delicious) uncoiled 2 October along Jalan Besar. Oh well, wishing these two characters viel Glück. Perhaps they might eventually be proven prescient, who knows.
Lecker Hotdog operates 11am-2.30pm Mondays, 11am-8.30pm Tuesdays through Sundays. Although unplethoric, available dawg choices do serviceably intrigue name-wise: Texas bolognese, Mexican dirty, Korean chicken bulgogi, heavy cheese and what have youse.
Lecker Hotdog @ ARC 380 seats around 26.
What knocked our socks off:
No doubt dressed to the nines, the Texas Bolognese Hotdog — comprising passata-drouked minced pork belly, diced onions, ketchup with dash of cilantro disencumbered altogether unto a standard 6″ frankfurter — which, while in truth vibed nothing remotely ragù-y, still cheap thrilled someway.
Texas Bolognese Hotdog ($6.80)
What didn't work out:
Doggone the Heavy Cheese Hotdog for yanking our chain; meretricious, incoherent cheddar & mayo flub couldn't sprauchle past whimpering bedraggedly, much less hit home heavy.
Heavy Cheese Hotdog ($5.60)
