Belly Boys is a burger place that we sometimes go to. It was located in Wanchai and was a small tiny restaurant. Serving smash burgers, they had reall good combo deals. But then they closed. Or so I thought! In fact, they had moved to Causeway Bay. Taking over the old After You Dessert location. Oddly, it didn't seem that they renovated much because most of the decor looked the same as the cafe before it. They did decoate the place with a few items from their old shop (like the Pulp Fiction post
Menu is in English and Chinese. They now have expanded their menu with more burgers and sides along with the addition of milk shakes. They also now charge 10% service charge. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code. They also do no offer combos execpt during lunch time.
Boyfriend ordered his usual order when it was still located in Wanchai. The Belly's Smash Cheeseburger ($75). It looked good. The cheese was nicely melted. The bun was a soft buttery brioche. The patty was juicy. The only problem? Lack of seasoning. The patty tasted bland. Did they forget to season it?
I tried a new burger of theirs: Codfather Burger ($85). A bit slice of fried fish fillet. So big, I had to take more than a few bites! The fish was not over cooked, The coating was crisp. But again ... no seasoning. It tasted bland.
The place became fancier and much larger. Plenty of room with a expanded menu. They moved on up but somehow forgot the taste. The food lacked seasoning. I wonder if it was an off day because the old shop, the burgers tasted great. That's probably why I will give it another chance and try again to see if it was just a one day thing.
