Half expecting balls of tumbleweeds to roll out, I was surprised by an orange Milwaukee sign instead. What I thought was a Harley-Davidson workshop turned out to be a truck stop-style diner from near.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I wasn&#8217;t on Wisconsin Highway 66. I was in the boondocks of Balakong. The old route from The Mines to Balakong was being straightened and widened, resulting in blinding and blurring dust.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">12 years later, I re-visited the place today. Amazingly, waitress (now manager) Pam and Chef Razak Amin are still there. So is their Juicy Calamari Steak and many other delicious Western-style dishes in (the now refined) menu.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Originally, the biker-owner intended Milwaukee Steak Corner as a shrine to the iconic brand.
