All I ate today was oatmeal in the morning, so I was ready to consume some calories! Burger Circus is a train carriage themed diner with a cute name. My sister commented that it felt like we were dinning at a park on picnic tables. The doors were left open, so whenever a bus went by, you heard it; making it quite noisy.

The menu was above the bar/counter, and at the table. One side of the menu was a vintage drawing of a circus lady slurping milkshakes, which I really liked!

The staff were an interesting bunch; very chill or one might say lacked interest in what they were doing? Ha, but the service was good. They saw that we were sharing, so gave us plates without us asking. Also, I was being lazy and just wiped my finger tips on my the wet wipe my sis was using, and one staff noticed that and gave us more.

Thanks. Haha.

With so many choices of burgers, sides and milkshakes to choose from, it took us a while to decide what to have!

This is what we got when we finally made up our minds:

Salted Caramel Milkshake

1. Salted Caramel Milkshake ($58) How can one not get a milkshake at a diner! We were being sensible and shared one. It was a good milkshake, but it had a little too much cream on top I feel. The caramel made it extra sweet, so it was nice to have the salted part to penetrate the sweetness. This sugar loaded milkshake was needed for the sodium loaded burger and fries that were to come.

If only they had a peanutbutter flavoured milkshake, I'd visit all the time!

2. The Flame Swallower ($88) The chicken was mairnated in hot sauce,so it was a little spicy. The chicken was very crispy and remained tender and juicy.

The bun was toasted, but so soft! All the ingredients were very fresh!

3. Circus Fries ($38) This was the only side we got. Fries covered in savoury onions and circus sauce was what it was.

Even though the fries were covered in so much sauce, they stayed crunchy!

To me, the circus sauce tasted like something in between thousland island and Mcdonald's big mac sauce, which are basically the same thing I guess.

The sauce made this quite an artery clogging dish.

4. The American Acrobat ($75) We were gonna just get one burger, but you can't really know if a place serves nice burgers until you try a beef hamburger.

This burger was so greasy that it soaked the paper box containing it.

Oh well, my thought at the time was the soaked box means a juicy burger right? Haha...
