吉碟幫為了尋找塵世中的漢堡包真味,都真的付出不少「肥胖」的代價,甚至連Carly打電話訂位都被人誤叫成"Calories"!(Carly到現今還是未能釋懷,哈哈哈)目前為止我們試過幾多呢?有點貴族feel的Beef & Liberty「尚牛社會」;賣貴徂好多的Butcher's Club;貴在部煙燻機的Big Joe's;勝在唔貴的Burgerman;貴族漢堡始祖的Burgeroom;矜貴只限脆薯粒的The Chop House和「幾貴都食唔返」可一不可再的Ham&Sherry...現在我們來到去年6月新開的Texas Burger來探究它是如何吸引家庭觀眾,年青一代,甚至旅居本地的外國人的!
|Mesclun mix, assorted mushrooms, roasted pumpkin & radish, fried French onion, roasted sesame dressing|雜沙律菜,烤雜錦精選香菌,燒南瓜,小紅蘿蔔,脆炸洋蔥絲,烘焙芝麻醋沙律汁|
Let’s kick off the fatty meal with some fresh greens! Well-tossed salad with right amount of salad dressing, roasted pumpkin and radish were zippy fresh, deep fried shredded onions were flavorsome with acidic appetizing salad. Not bad. If only mushrooms were not chopped and more mushrooms can be added, both Carly and Lorling would have been happier.
|Grilled housemade savory veggie patty, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, melted monterey Jack cheese, aioli|烤自製素食漢堡扒,牛油果,生菜,蕃茄,熔化蒙特利傑克芝士,法式香蒜醬|
這個素食burger建議應該考慮要從餐牌上移除。主要的成份有米飯和鷹嘴豆蓉,可惜入口就好像一塊加了比較過量雞粉的麵團,沒有素食burger的新鮮感覺。
|6oz beef patty, baked crisp bacons, deep-fried onion ring, lettuce, melted cheddar cheese, signature smoked Jalapeno BBQ sauce|6安士煙燻牛肉漢堡,焗脆煙肉,炸洋蔥圈,生菜,熔化車打芝士,秘制墨西哥青椒燒烤醬|
The best burger in house! Australian beef is rather flavorsome and juicy after grilling. Regarding seasoning, tad sweet yet very enjoyable smoked BBQ sauce; and the crunchy onion ring made this one decent burger to munch off. The logo of TB was engraved and toasted on the bun, making this signature dish notably the highlight of the night.
|6oz beef patty, Seared Foie Gras, Balsamic Reduction, pickled red onions & arugula salad, Toasted Brioche Bun|6安士煙燻牛肉漢堡,香煎鵝肝片,意式濃縮黑醋汁,甜酸紅洋蔥圈,芝麻菜沙律|
Bun being slightly over-burnt, it came out crumbly dry and hardened. Whenever Carly sees Foie Gras burger, the greasy experience at Burgeroom rang the bell. Gobay always thought that foie gras should not go with beef patties as both of them are considered heavy, rich flavored food; not the best combo to put them together. A thin slice of Pan fried foie gras: fairly dry, lacking the fatty good oil. Pickled red onions were nice crunchy and citrusy. But the brioche bun was left in the oven for too long, hardened to a point that everyone just left the buns on the serving wooden boards.
|Deep Fried tender fillet of Pollock, red cheddar cheese, lettuce, grilled pineapple tartar sauce, white balsamic flakes, toasted sesame bun|炸嫩滑冰島鱈魚柳,英式紅車打芝士,生菜,烤菠蘿他他醬,白酒醋脆片,芝麻包|
New item! The sauce was alright with chopped pineapple, along with fruity sweet and a right punch of sourness for the tartar sauce. The sesame bun was not as dry as the other ones yet the deep fried fish was dry to its core, Gobay even tasted had the frozen fillet aftertaste after trying the battered fish that was deep fried for way too long.
|Grilled tender chicken breast, baked crisp bacons, lettuce, tomatoes, Monterey jack cheese, aioli, toasted ciabatta|烤嫩滑雞胸,焗脆煙肉,生菜,蕃茄,蒙特利傑克芝士,法式香蒜醬,意式軟包|
Chicken was ultra moist, tender, and well-seasoned – Carly is often impressed by places that can ace chicken breast cooking so nicely. Baked bacon was a bit overdone so it lost the fatty oily goodness compared to when bacon is cooked till a point that the oil drizzles a little over the rest of the food. Aioli was pretty nice for its mouth drooling taste of garlicky cream sauce, ciabatta bread was dry, and lacked the crispiness on the crust and fluffy airy texture on the interior. Relatively better in terms of flavor and quality out of all the burgers we had.
Deep fried, rather like baked style potato wedges. Seasoned with a pinch of salt, pepper, and rosemary herbs, some of them were mushy inside, and could have been moister. Side dishes for burgers are often very important to conclude whether the burger combo was legit – Chop House’s tater tots is still our favorite in town. Mini pot of coleslaw was served next to the fries yet flavor wise was just average as it came a bit watery and bland in taste.
炸薯角普普通通,有些內裡粉嫩但有些不然。The Chop House的脆薯粒依然是吉碟幫的城中至愛,因為漢堡包餐中配菜的味道有時等於burger本身。美式椰菜沙律毫無特色矗立在旁,讓人有種「吃也不是,不吃也不是」的莫名情緒,很困擾!
|Ultimate fries, jalapeno, black olive, Velveeta cheese sauce, crispy bacon bites, guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream|特脆薯條,墨西哥青椒片,黑水欖片,美國芝士醬,脆煙肉碎,牛油果醬,莎莎醬,酸忌廉|
New item! Fries were average, jalapeno chopped in rather big chunks, and sour cream, cheese and bacon flavors were nowhere to be found. This results in a lacking of the authentic sour and herbs aroma. Guacamole, being so finely grinded, lacked the uneven raw fresh textural experience. The color of the guacamole turned dimmed as if they were not fresh from the basket, it might’ve been the fact that avocado was grinded in the blender instead of randomly squashing it softly, much like apples turning dark yellow being exposed in open air for too long.
這也是一個新菜式,而這個"混醬"的搭配,讓人吃的時候有種「悲天憫人」的情懷,因為暗綠色的牛油果醬和大大塊的墨西哥青椒,一邊吃一邊心裡默念『粒粒皆辛苦,我唔可以浪費這盤薯仔…』芝士和煙肉的味道無影無蹤,牛油果更被打成蓉而喪失了粒狀口感和新鮮感。讓人傷心的是,最近街市的牛油果一點都不便宜!
|Tex-Mex Coleslaw, southern BBQ Sauce, fries|配特色卷心菜沙律,燒烤汁,炸薯條|
All of the milkshakes are served in rather large size of 14oz servings.
所有奶昔都以14安士的「大架勢」示人,看著誘惑,味道如何呢?
|Guava, mango, passion fruit, lime ice-cream, sliced pineapple|石榴,芒果,熱情果,青檸雪糕,菠蘿片|
Very tropical and exotic flavors bursting from the not-so-thick milkshake, passion fruit and mango fruit scents were the most profound. For anyone that loves a summery drink, this will not let you down.
從包含的水果就可以看出這是一杯「熱帶風情」,奶昔雖不夠濃稠,但熱情果和芒果味道很突出。作為夏日特飲,它也是不錯之選。
|Vanilla ice-cream, banana, peanut butter, chocolate, syrup, whipping cream, explosive chocolate|雲喱拿雪糕,香蕉,花生醬,朱古力糖漿,忌廉,朱古力爆炸糖|
Banana and chocolate flavor stood out after one quick sip, then the wave of peanut better came gushing through, Lyoe described as the “breakfast” drink. Quite indeed a spot-on description for this.
|Chocolate ice-cream, mint jelly, chocolate syrup, whipping cream, explosive chocolate, oreo cookie|朱古力雪糕,薄荷啫喱,朱古力糖漿,忌廉,朱古力爆炸糖,曲奇|
Rather mild bland chocolate milkshake, very subtle hint of mint flavor. If only extra chocolate ice-cream was added or oreo chunks and crumbs, then it would be the most evil and intriguing components that for a heavy chocolate milkshake.
|Strawberry ice-cream, raspberry, blue berry, whipping cream, fresh berries|草莓雪糕,木莓,藍莓,忌廉,新鮮雜莓子|
Carly’s favorite and considered the best milkshake out of all four of them for its fruity berry aroma was natural and mildly sweet. Nothing can go wrong with mixed berries as long as fresh berries are well-blended with the ice-cream based milkshake.
Carly當晚最讚賞的奶昔,沒有之一!豐富的藍莓味自然微甜,水果香氣濃郁,再加草莓雪糕,確實屬於該店出品中口味最正常的奶昔了。
|Sea salted toffee, whipped cream, candied walnuts|海監拖肥,甜忌廉,蜜餞核桃|
Toffee lacked the sea salt savory flavor, whipped cream was halfway melting, walnuts? Were there walnuts? The apple tart was lying flat, unappealing at sight, served just warm to the table. Taste-wise was alright but apples chunks were not very impressive, Carly gave up after one scoop.
|A scoop of Movenpick ice-cream|配一球雪糕|
Oh my..Fudge cake is supposed to be soft chewy on the inside and crusty on the dark chocolate based edges. Yet this was just not right, not right for an American dessert. The cake was hardened, not chewy.. Rather disastrous piece of cake Carly would have to say, she dug into the vanilla Movenpick ice-cream on the side and ignored the fudge cake completely.
