Gourmet Burger Union (Closed)

Went there, hoping to have a decent quick bite on a Friday night.Picture yourself having ordered a Greek Salad... and when it came there was not sight of feta cheese nor olives.Hey.. that's what I got. The so-called Greek Salad was diminutive too. I took it back to the kitchen and they had pity on me. So they gave me my deserved portion of olives and feta. I accounted. I finished it all off in 7 bites. HK$47.Burger was average.No wonder it's never full.

從備長走出來，肚子還有些空位(始終串燒是吃巧不吃飽吧)。本想走到中上環的Duke's Deli買些即製pizza及cheese cake填肚。二時多去到，發覺大部份食物已沽清了心有不甘，沿斜路走上扶手電梯處，看見這一間burger shop，才想起已有一段時間沒試過新的漢堡店了.....爬上閣樓，發現她只是一間只有三數張高枱的小店子，很有那種歐州速食小店的風格。拿着menu細看，發覺這兒的賣點是可以"build your own burger"。現在香港的burger shop開至成行成市，要殺出一條血路，以此作為一個selling point也未嘗不可。但是日不想諗太多東西，於是只是從signature burgers中選擇了個"Southern Swine"，再另加一份最傳统的hotdog便夠吃了.....所謂的"Southern Swine"實際上是一個bacon cheese hamburger。牛肉用的號稱是100%草飼紐西蘭Angus，肉本身不算很厚，有點嚡口，肉汁也不算做十分之豐盈，質素只是一般；Bacon倒是煎得邊位帶點焦脆，就個人而言，比牛肉本身還要好吃....醬汁也

dec 18, 08,理髮前嚟食個quick dinner,最衰中環之友趕唔切,自己叫咗 : 1) southern swine-有100% grass fed new zealand angus beef + sharp provolone cheese + smoked streaky bacon + rocket + red relish + smoked bbq sauce -其實每款餡料唔多,但佢就深懂presentation嘅重要性,所以擺得好豐盛吓-塊牛肉漢堡唔會好似triple x嗰d咁厚,唔多滑,但唔乾,亦有肉味-芝士直情太細塊啦-不過唔知我喺咪太肚餓喎,我都好鍾意呢個味道組合頗豐富+多種口感,有煙肉嘅香,火箭菜嘅清同小苦,芝士嘅拉絲,自己勁+嘅茄汁............ 2) coke x 1罐 - 全自助式,交咗張單比廚房後,就會收到呢個藍色飛碟.........你嘅order做好,可以攞得,佢就會閃出紅光通知你..........唔洗驚會miss咗 - 呢度可以自己build啱自己口味嘅漢堡。先揀肉質 (eg 牛,雞,羊,素)............之後就揀芝

德國是我享往的國家，愛屋及烏下，我連「漢堡」也愛上，我準備試均香港的「漢堡」專門店(除麥記外)，今次輪到GBU。每次都漢堡店，我通常會試試店裡最傳統的burger。餐牌上寫明是新西蘭的安格斯牛肉，漢堡扒厚度是「正常」，不是巨型厚厚的，肉汁也不豐富及有點嚡口，只少起碼食到一陣肉香，比起burgeroon要好得多。再要一個辣肉醬熱狗，又是超級巨型，外層還三片半溶的芝士，入口時很驚訝，麵包腍之餘，那巨型香腸一口咬下去沒有皮開肉裂彈牙口感，也是超級腍，毫無彈性可言，而辣肉醬即不辣也不惹味香口醒胃。每次都burger專門店最開心有milk shake，今次又試試coffee shake，味道有濃香，質地十分稀釋，似是一杯普通的凍咖啡。同意其他食友所言，室內抽風設備十分差，油煙非常之大，吃完後滿身油煙味。

I'll be brief with my review, since I'm going to be reviewing a lot of burgers in Hong Kong because most of them are just overly ordinary to below average.1) Beef patty had good beef taste, despite being too small for the 1/4 pound size. I know I could have ordered the half pounder but its nearly $100HKD.The patty is (way) over cooked and too dry, also no chargrill taste, despite having a slight crunchy edge. Seasoning however is just right, with the NZ beef taste coming through just as the Cul

好久沒吃漢堡包，這天中午試試這間上樓新鋪。甫進店已嗅到陣陣油煙，還要對著看似剛被炒魷的收銀員，唉。（圖中那個高科技傳呼機每客人也有，實際用途不詳，不過就幾有趣。）放棄STANDARD類，貪得意自己砌下burger，剔這剔那，再加個芝士薯角和沙律。side green salad($ 35)光看賣相其實麻麻過麻麻，份量極細，只勝在材料新鮮，生菜爽脆；所謂的real mayo不明有幾real，尚可接受。potato wedges with cheddar cheese ($39)雖然芝士都比得幾重手，但奇怪地冇乜芝士味；美國薯仔剛炸起，熱氣非常，當然好吃；如果脆一點會更好。我們的漢堡材料有半磅牛肉、生菜、蕃茄、青瓜、烤蘑菰，都是穩陣之選。整體感覺是可以啦，當然沒有SHAKE'EM BUN咁好食，但亦不過不失。問題是，在中區要吃靚漢堡不太難。不過要$70/person填飽肚子，這間店也能滿足你。

六月十四‧晴在威靈頓街及半山自動電梯的交界處開了這間漢堡包店，以為會很爆場嗎？實際上是不太多人，比起一街之隔的「怪獸漢堡」分別很大。舖面不小，一邊是企位，另一邊才有得坐，就買個漢堡包來「立食」吧。這裡的餐牌分兩邊，一邊是店方的指定產品，另一邊是自選項目，好像吃車仔麵般，多吃多付，有得選擇，我當然會自選。肉類主要為三款，「百分百紐西蘭安格斯牛肉」、「澳洲放養雞」及「紐西蘭羊肉」。我吃漢堡，首選當然是牛肉，另外配料要了燒菠蘿、蕃茄及烤洋蔥、瑞士芝士。得十多個客人，廚房的幾個廚子也忙得團團轉，人客放下單據就坐埋一邊，包做好就靠廚房叫名，時有誤會出現，我想叫號碼會好好多。而廚房那邊是開放式的，抽風做得麻麻，油煙非常大。包賣相不俗，兩邊包也烘過的，但沒有塗牛油。牛肉幾鞋口，燒得很熟。忘記了交帶要幾成熟的，而他們也沒有問，餐單中寫明「default」是medium，但出來絕對是well-done。還好漢堡肉味很濃，也慶幸只要了四分一磅的，不然份量又大又鞋口的漢堡，就更差。另外的配料份量不多，賣相也一般，不過加了菠蘿是美味的。吃時發現，漢堡包除了茄汁是沒有其他醬汁的，再看餐牌，原來我忘了剔自選的醬汁

Similar to Toppings, except this place has even more choice.From cheese to toppings and sauces, there are so many choices to choose, and for that extra gourmet factor, you can pay a small price to add that too.Cheese wise, as not many places serve burgers with blue cheese, here they have three blue cheeses to choose from: Danish blue, Roquefort and Stilton, and if your a pizza lover, there is Italian Mozarella. The toppings here are also quite different, you can choose baked beans which give it

今日2個女仔lunch去左呢間漢堡包店，一入去就smell到有d味。叫左個薯條with cheddar cheese ($20) 再加一個morning glory既burger, 一杯milk shake 兩個人share, total 約一百蚊個包都唔錯,d牛肉幾夠味,而且都大個, 2個人share都夠。係自助服務有d唔慣, 比人serve慣掛~坐左係window旁, 落雨天食下burger, 幾好feel~ 下次再黎試下其他招牌burger先

13/9（六）是我和女朋友拍拖兩個月紀念，由於當日我倆都是放假，不想太早起身而又想一齊食早餐。在OR做了些資料搜集，知道中環有些餐廳有all day breakfast，所以當日和女友中午才出發！不過我對自己太有信心，沒有抄下地址、衹憑記得大概位置就去，結果第一間找不著而第二間又忘記了地址，有點失望但幸好女友沒有怪責和埋怨！於是，懷著失望心情的我倆打算去勝香園。在前往途中，給我發現了這間GBU，其實我倆都想食burger而且行得有點又倦又熱，所以就試這間！這店頗光猛整潔，檯椅不多以致空間感幾大，好外國餐廳setting，而且這裡是自助式。顧客在order紙上選擇食物後（還要填上自己的姓名），在cashier付錢再自己交單到開放式廚房，廚師把食物煮好就會叫顧客的名字去取食物。由於我和女友到達時已是兩點幾，又熱，所以食慾大減，兩人合共點了一個Morning glory burger 。由交單到取食物，約等了五分鐘。Burger外層麵飽是略略煎過，微熱且有點脆，幾香口，另外有茄汁豆和煎蛋等配料，幾好食。主角當然是牛肉，這店標明用的是100% Angus紐西蘭草飼牛，牛肉味很重，煎得火候剛好，

Went to have dinner at this restaurant with my gf ytd night, we ordered a poutine fries, and a avocado egg blue cheese burger. The poutine fries is not very good, the sauce is too watery its soaking the fries making it soft and soggy and the cheese ontop is not much taste at all making it even worse. The burger is also not very good, the beef patty is over cooked, its hard and too burnt on the surface and its not much taste too even with the blue cheese and the dressing. The bun is too thick and

話說今日想食junk　food，咁就打算落樓下食burger，本來想去shake　em　buns，但行過gourmet　burger，發覺未食過，咁就去試吓菜。一入到去，成陣油煙味，已經覺得唔係好對路，不過算啦，然後叫咗份薯條同個Burger.等呀等，等咗起碼１０分鐘，個burger終於送到我面前。一啖咬落去，嘩，個包中間仲未熱。都算喇，啲牛肉碎到不停咁跌出嚟，咁即係話佢做塊漢堡扒嗰陣已經有問題。食落口，淨係食到茄汁味，塊漢堡一啲都唔juicy，牛肉味又唔香，仲有啲乾添。跟住到戲肉，薯條終於到喇，送到我面前，嘩~好似啲梅菜咁林晒。咁我叫佢哋再整過啦，到第二次都係咁，我同個店員講，我雖然唔係廚師，但都唔會整啲咁嘅薯條比人食囉，我要refund啲錢。咁佢講埋啲廢話咁話，我哋啲薯條唔係frozen薯條...bla bla bla.....我話之你係咪frozen，總之你落鑊炸嗰陣啲油唔夠熱啦。你開舖之前，應該練好啲廚藝先開舖啦，咁我攞番20蚊就走咗。

今天的晚餐是已經經過很多次但都還沒有嘗過的Gourmet Burger Union!!店員的服務態度相當親切~環境也很乾淨輕鬆!我和J在大大的Menu前研究了一下...決定點Southern Swine!我的漢堡很快地作好了!!!上下層麵包應該是因為烤過的關係變得特別香酥!比起大到嚇人的Atomic Betty...我更喜歡這種size的漢堡包啦~拿起來的份量也很剛好~沒有太多"罪惡感"ㄎ~~第一口的感覺相當Juicy..但是又不會因為餡料太多.而不方便吃.裡面的生菜也搭配得適當美味!sidedish是薯條... 不過說實話~薯條就沒有像Atomic Betty那麼好吃了~有點太甜跟太油...樓下的電視牆一直打著Build your own burger的口號~下次再來試試~

回來熟識的中環, 本想找來港出差的大陸舊同事, 食個飯仔. 可惜被女魔王俘擄, 9點才脫身, 咁. 繼續天煞孤星, 孤獨上路. 正好, 自由題.知道有家新Burger, 反正有癮, 難得到中環閒遊, 登堂入其室.可以自選餡料, 的確係一個比較新鮮既idea, 先找一個卡的高檯坐下, 點解張檯摸落肥肥地....轉過位, 離廚房遠少少, 近Counter, 好D. 落完order, 要自己攞埋去廚房, Burger做好亦要自己醒目去攞. Fast food.等待時, 明白點解檯面油霖霖, 煎扒中, 絕對是抽風有問題, 整個餐樓, 滿是油煙, 很是不舒服.看見自選的Burger完成, 選了1/4紐西蘭安格斯牛扒, 加紅洋蔥, 雞蛋, 同羊芝士, 自己喜歡的配搭, 與別不同.牛扒加上羊芝士, 平常少見的配搭, 相信, 這裡才有. 份量不算太大, 唔會話飽死你果隻. 飲品, 不要, $20一罐汽水, 係咁既環境, overpriced.

Went there for lunch on a Sunday morning. We could smell the grease at the bottom of the stairs! We strongly believe that they should invest in good commercial kitchen exhaust/fume ventilation system. We did not have that kind of experience in other smaller burger joints. The taste of the burger is ok but felt that GBU is overpriced, especially the soft drinks! It would also be nice if they provided paper napkin / serviettes since eating a burger with lots of tomato purée can get quite messy!
