Prepare the buah keluak by soaking it in water overnight to soften.

Remove the flesh from the buah keluak and mix it with ground beef, minced onion, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper.

Form the mixture into patties and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred.

While the patties cook, toast the burger buns on the grill until golden brown.

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.

Place a lettuce leaf on the bun, followed by a cooked patty.

Top with sliced tomatoes and any additional toppings like chili or coriander.

Drizzle lime juice over the toppings for added freshness.

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
