Burger Joys: Upbeat Local Gangster 地道又不失個性
7 plates emptied!
Favs: Hiro Burger和牛漢堡, Signature Double Cheese Burger招牌雙層芝士漢堡
[Written by Gobay in
Chinese, Carly in English]
It’s a burger review again! Undoubtedly, the undying burger
hype has hit Hong Kong hard since early 2014, then matcha turned everything
green, along with the Korean bloom, burger trend has kept its steady trend;
Butchers Club expanded to Kowloon and One Island East, Beef & Liberty kept
calm and retained its elegant niche, Burger Joys has been well-established at
this petite bustling corner in Wan Chai. To the gang’s surprise, we were
surprised that it took us some time to discover this local joint. Better yet,
Gobay and Carly both agreed that Burger Joys have made it to the top 3 of the
Gang’s list. Here comes the verdict!
Signature
Double Cheese Burger 招牌雙層芝士漢堡 | HKD 138
最令人難忘的是它的顏色搭配：大大片的血紅番茄、紫色的生洋蔥圈（百分百生的！！！），金黃色的呈融化狀地包裹著兩塊漢堡扒（無論是Butcher's
Club 還是 Beef & Liberty都無法達到的融化狀態）和青色的生菜。這裡必須要感歎一下，那些沒辦法把漢堡包裡的芝士弄熱弄融的burger stores是必須要反省再反省！(´⌣`ʃƪ)口感不錯，開邊後能看到相對算是飽滿的肉汁（這個比之後會提到的和牛Burger要稍微乾身一點）。破天荒我們沒有「糾纏店主」問他諸如「牛肉產地是哪裡？」「谷飼還是草飼？」等等的，大概就是潛意識裡覺得每次透露得太詳盡，讓過後去嘗試的食客少了獵奇的心思。這次我們就「隨便」一把：醃製的咸度剛剛好，拌酸瓜生菜的沙律醬是很熟悉的本土味道（感覺是用了日本的Kewpie嘻嘻），麵包微甜很軟厚（很像Bread Element的出品但又總覺得差點什麼）。138點價格確實容易惹人非議，不過如果你不介意錢，是一枚港版「土豪」或外籍「土豪」，不妨一試。
Fiery red tomato slices, vividly violet onion rings, jippy fresh greens and the complete-meltdown of cheese draped around that juicy beef patty did blow us away. Beef jus dripped over our fingers as we picked up the massive combo, no fretting, there was a refined balance of delish fatty goodness and well-seasoned patty, with the right sprinkle of salt & pepper, the dope of Kewpie-flavored mayo did the trick. Bread top slightly sweetish and very bouncy fluffy, blended in a mouthful of juicy and intriguing double patties, the portion was much bigger than Butchers Club for a regular burger of HKD100.

Hiro Burger 和牛漢堡| HKD 188
這個價位讓我們馬上想起了Bread Street Kitchen 的Burger，而這個確是要更勝一籌的。"Hiro" 的命名讓人心思思猜測是否用的日本和牛。大家看到Hiro猜測是Hero意思的有多少？高比聯想到的卻是電影Baymax裡的Hiro, Baymax感覺有點像"Burger"升級版，哈哈哈！這個和牛漢堡真的很不錯，很多肉汁，但還是可以吃出肉的質感，即使它很快散在嘴裡，那種肉粒的結實仍然明顯。188的價格，你，值得擁有。
Sing in the tune of “Worth it” - Hiro burger, you are
definitely worth it for your quality and price. Gobay immediately thought that
this Hiro might be related to Baymax and how it is an upgraded version to serve
your tummy well. Beef jus was running through our finger cracks, patty was less
salty but way much juicier compared to the Signature Double Cheeseburger. Less
profound in the manly beef taste yet more delicate when it comes to wagyu beef,
it dissolves on the palate yet remained firm and delectable as you take a deep
bite.
Fish Burger 魚柳包 |
HKD 88
Lyoe很中肯地評論說「好似廿年前的麥記魚柳包」！的確，非常熟悉的味道，雖然魚柳還是乾，但外層用的絕對鬆脆的bread crust則讓人難以忘懷，咬下去就像在日本名古屋吃的黃金豚炸豬排的炸面包糠的口感，值得一試。
Our tagalong has risen above to the next level and started to pick up the role of being a food reviewer at times, as Lyoe stated, “This is like Filo-O-Fish at McDonalds 2 decades ago!” Tartar sauce was the familiar taste that recalls childhood memories; the crispy golden breaded deep fried crust was alike Japan deep fried pork tonkatsu, worth a try if you are not a beef fan.

Cajun Wings 6pcs |
HKD 58
提到Cajun料理，來自美加的食客可能倍感溫馨。它就像是西班牙的Tortilla(土豆煎蛋餅)，意大利的pizza，中國的火鍋等，屬於創意大雜燴的平民食品。入口前聞到雞翼有股濃濃的味精味，差點就想放棄，吃的時候變成了各種香辛料的混合體，即使不那麼「味精」了，還是不怎麼討喜。也許會有支持的食客也未可知。
Cajun! Not a stranger to North Americans and especially when Carly used to sprinkle so much of this spice mix on her fries when she used to be in the lovely green land O-Canada. Close to Italian’s pizza, Chinese’s hotpot, Spanish’s Tortilla, Cajun is a powerful mix of paprika, black pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme and red pepper flakes. Burger Joy’s Cajun mix tasted like instant noodle MSG which threw all of us a bit off our chairs and they were a bit too dry as well…

Lunch deal: free add-on of soft drinks/tea
and fries/tater tots/onion rings
這裡有提供午市套餐，任意一款漢堡包配汽水或茶，還可以在薯條、炸薯粒和炸洋蔥圈裡任選一款。
Economical lunch deals if you work around Wanchai, free add-on of sides and drinks on the regular-priced burgers. Fries tasted and looked very much like everyone’s all-time favorite McDonalds.

Truffle Fries 松露薯條|
additional HKD 20
吉碟幫對炸薯條的喜好各有不同，這裡的是麥記式的炸透型，炸兩次或以上，脆身香口。不過不失，性價比很不錯。
Truffle fries being one the most acclaimed dishes at Burger
Joys, these were double fried to ensure that they were golden crispy, served
with black truffle bits sprinkled atop. Can’t complain much for its price,
worth a try if you happen to drop by this hippy joint.
Cookies & Cream
Milkshake | additional HKD25
曲奇奶昔嚐出維記鮮奶的味道，Oreo曲奇朱古力味道不特別突出，亦不似是雪糕打出來的一般濃稠香滑。
Possibly made from Kowloon Diary farm product, the unique milk fragrant was too strong compared to the bland Oreo flavored milkshake. Beef & Liberty and Burger Circus must have scored way higher in the milkshake contest.

單純就漢堡一欄，Burger Joys真心能排上前三，特別是和牛漢堡。一直在想為什麼Burger stores總喜歡挑戰和牛漢堡，思忖一番後，覺得也許因為和牛不需要調肥瘦比例，選對部位就行，因為它的油脂分佈都比較「雪花」，所以肉汁分佈也會相對的多和均勻，口感比較豐盈。你們覺得呢？:)
Burger Joys made it
to the Gang’s favorite top three, especially the Hiro burger was downright
juicy, spectacular delicious in terms of seasoning, texture, and burger
construction. We used to never really understand wagyu beef burgers, reminded
us of the disappointing one at Glasshouse. Giving it a second thought, it’s
probably related to their much finer marbling and higher tenderness, which
makes the patty more elegant with a palate-coating richness.

Pepperlunch 極量8oz 純黑安格斯西冷牛扒
Pepperlunch的名字，香港人一定不會感到陌生的名字。Carly偶然要極速在美食廣場 (Food court) 覓食的話，Pepperlunch通常都會是首選，快、靚、正。吃一個熱辣辣的黑椒牛肉飯，牛油的香、黑椒的辣感、蜜糖蒜蓉汁的甜、自己炒的飯，五十幾蚊已經有得食，仲想點。今次Carly和Dvd來到人生中第一次的試食會，只見Dvd十分認真地在拍照，Carly也非常認真地問個究竟。今次復活節期間限定推介，「極量8oz 純黑安格斯西冷牛扒」套餐，盛惠港幣128。優惠至4月9日，套餐附送泰國無菌雞蛋，飲品，麵豉湯，白飯一碗。
Pepperlunch成功之處就是把牛扒快餐極速地普及，相比起舊式的花園餐廳，Pepperlunch味道和質量也勝一籌，為快餐美食界帶來新鮮感。先說明一下，吃這個有竅門！牛扒熱辣辣在鐵板上高溫的煎著，由櫃檯端到飯桌時已經十多秒，避免牛扒過熟的方法，一定要極速把秘製牛油塗勻牛扒表面，用筷子反轉牛扒，只需幾秒就要迅速疊起牛肉，就能夠防止它們一直在鐵板上乾煎。安格斯西冷本身就不會以肉質取勝，肉味是還可以的，但肉汁只是一般。沿著脂肪邊或筋腱邊位的，口感會比較討好，整體不是特別軟腍或肥美。如果牛肉不能夠滿足你的話，把白飯倒上鐵板，快速炒一下，加上半熟雞蛋與粟米，不能少的還有蜜糖蒜蓉汁、黑椒汁，濃香惹味的炒飯就完成了！
Pepperlunch, not a name that you would be unfamiliar with as this Japanese fast food restaurant chain has started to spread across in countless food courts in Hong Kong. Carly still remembered that when it was first opened around 4, 5 years ago, hungry diners lined up to just grab a grub of hot sizzling black pepper beef rice, served on a flaming hot metal pans, exhilarating in spices, meat cooked till it turns well done or to customer’s preference. Pepperlunch has successfully franchised this business model around the globe from Singapore, China, Japan, and reaching the far ends of Canada and America. Drizzle some of the most scrumptious fatty good honey garlic and black pepper sauce onto your grilling pan of meat, one “fast-steak” meal is perfectly done.
Carly and Dvd’s first time ever to join free tasting events. Dvd was professionally running around, taking pictures of the process and burning metal plates which were filled with Angus beef stripes. Pepperlunch starts their Easter promotional period of HKD128 set of America Black Angus Steak, topped with corn and peas, a bowl of rice, beverage at your own choice (didn’t know they serve hot green tea now! at Pepperlunch dine-in), miso soup, and an extra egg imported from Thailand!
Trick to enjoy the steak in its most ideal state – “Don’t wait”. Quickly spread the house-made secret butter over the steak and turn it over, one side will be cooked into golden brown, act swift and quick, pile up the steak stripes before they are overcooked in a few seconds! The beef unfortunately was not very juicy or tender, since the Angus beef was imported from America, the steak tasted beefy alright yet the texture was just too-tough-to-chew-on. Carly did happily indulge herself as she stir-fried the overcooked rice with pepper, the rice absorbed the oil from the steak, the best thing about Pepperlunch was always the self-customization of a fast meal when you do not have high expectations on the quality of the food.
