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.

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-De-Sac NZ patties do.
2) Truffle cream is great not not too much truffle taste. Fair enough, who cares. But its a bit of a false advetisement. Plus, they put in extra mayonnaise to drown the burger even your consent.
3) Loved the choice of tppings and especially cheeses available.
4) Buns. So-so, its actually what I like for a burger, nice and simple, but its not toasted enough, and not buttered. Fine.
5) Bacon. Too dry and yet not crispy, despite being quite fatty. Not very exemplary cooking skills shown here.
6) Price - way way too high, considering the burger is tiny/average sized and the patty is small. Nearly $70. Unbelievable.
Generally I must say I enjoyed the Burger here. Its nearly exactly how it should be, although patty isn't juicy at all. Still, its better than Triple-O for me (which is ultra dry and tasteless, unless you get the Mushroom burger with lots of juice - cheating a bit btw).
Has lots of room for improvement, for the price.
