5/10 plates emptied![Written by Carly in English, Gobay in Chinese]
吉碟帮为了寻找尘世中的汉堡包真味，都真的付出不少「肥胖」的代价，甚至连Carly打电话订位都被人误叫成"Calories"！（Carly到现今还是未能释怀，哈哈哈）目前为止我们试过几多呢？有点贵族feel的Beef & Liberty「尚牛社会」；卖贵徂好多的Butcher's Club；贵在部烟熏机的Big Joe's；胜在唔贵的Burgerman；贵族汉堡始祖的Burgeroom；矜贵只限脆薯粒的The Chop House和「几贵都食唔返」可一不可再的Ham&Sherry...现在我们来到去年6月新开的Texas Burger来探究它是如何吸引家庭观众，年青一代，甚至旅居本地的外国人的！
Just thinking about how many burger places the Gang has hit, Carly dare not to think about the calories she had intake for the past few months. The stormy fiery hype of burgers has not shown any signs of halting, notably the best gourmet diner – Beef & Liberty, acclaimed yet not so worthy – Butchers Club, equipped with an unique smoking machine – Big Joe’s, not-going-to-hurt-your wallet Burgerman, somewhat high-end-ish Burgeroom, lipsmacking tater tots – the Chop House, once-in-a-lifetime burger experience – Ham & Sherry. Finally, it was the Gang’s turn to visit Texas Burger. Opened since June 2014, attracting flock of families, expats, younger generations to indulge themselves with comfort food.
Texas Burger strongly focuses on offering a wide range of menu selections from wings, salad, pasta, ribs, burgers (red meat, white meat, vegetarian), milkshake, desserts, beer and beverages. Indeed quite a lot of choices for a little store that cannot fit more than 30 people. Honestly, too many for one burger diners to specialize in gourmet dining. Looking at the crowd, there are families with kids, teenagers with parents, grandparents, and young couples of course. Tin Hau has never been so energized with more western restaurants blossoming; Texas burgers undoubtedly catered to a large crowd of diners who needed the extra option of western food as they only get to have desserts, Vietnamese, cha chaan teng or Thailand cuisine around. Even though the store was not so spacious, the wide-ranging selection will let anyone easily settled in and stuffed for sure.
不得不感叹这里的菜单「包罗万有」的程度：近10款Burger，红肉白肉素食无一或缺；义粉沙律小食奶昔亦一应俱全。对于只能容纳不足30人的店面，这份菜牌的野心大得有些不是很实际。当然，门口的人龙还是让人不能小觑。天后，一个充斥著东南亚食肆的地区，多了一个西式餐厅的选择本身就已经很讨喜，难怪人流不绝。
【Forest Mushrooms Salad野菌沙律 |HKD62】|Mesclun mix, assorted mushrooms, roasted pumpkin & radish, fried French onion, roasted sesame dressing|杂沙律菜，烤杂锦精选香菌，烧南瓜，小红萝卜，脆炸洋葱丝，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.
在食物质素方面，野菌沙律里的小红萝卜和脆炸洋葱丝加了不少的春天爽鲜感，沙律酱份量恰到好处，如果蘑菇的量可以多些而且没有被切得过碎，Carly和Lorling都会点赞！
【Veggie Burger素食汉堡 |HKD83】|Grilled housemade savory veggie patty, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, melted monterey Jack cheese, aioli|烤自制素食汉堡扒，牛油果，生菜，蕃茄，熔化蒙特利杰克芝士，法式香蒜酱|
The homemade savory veggie patty was not juicy or soft, Carly guessed the main ingredient was chick peas as the patty appeared rather orange in color with hints of green. Not too impressed with the thin slice of patty, considerably dry. Dvd stated that this made him miss Beef & Liberty’s unbeatable veggie Falafel burger, Lorling seconded that. Luckily, the avocado sauce saved the bun a bit.这个素食burger建议应该考虑要从餐牌上移除。主要的成份有米饭和鹰嘴豆蓉，可惜入口就好像一块加了比较过量鸡粉的面团，没有素食burger的新鲜感觉。
【Texas BBQ Burger 德州烧烤汉堡|HKD88】|6oz beef patty, baked crisp bacons, deep-fried onion ring, lettuce, melted cheddar cheese, signature smoked Jalapeno BBQ sauce|6安士烟熏牛肉汉堡，焗脆烟肉，炸洋葱圈，生菜，熔化车打芝士，秘制墨西哥青椒烧烤酱|
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.
这当之无愧是店里的招牌汉堡。澳洲牛肉被事先腌制并烟熏过，烟熏的味道和酱汁的甜味渗透均匀，加上脆炸洋葱圈增添的口感，味道不俗。而且"TB"作为店名简写被烤在面包上，形态上也比较突出。
【Foie Gras Beef Burger烟熏鹅肝汉堡|HKD153】|6oz beef patty, Seared Foie Gras, Balsamic Reduction, pickled red onions & arugula salad, Toasted Brioche Bun|6安士烟熏牛肉汉堡，香煎鹅肝片，意式浓缩黑醋汁，甜酸红洋葱圈，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.
面包炕得过干以致吃著有「啵啵脆」的感觉，对burger而言是非常不好的。吃上口的时候，先是脆（干）得过份的包刮口，还未有尝到中间的牛肉，已想放弃。而肥腻的鸭肝马上激起Carly早前在Burgeroom吃同款Burger的油腻经历。Gobay一直都觉得鸭肝/鹅肝与汉堡包根本就是「勉强没幸福」的代表组合，两者都是味浓，油脂重的食物，而且水生动物的骚味本身和陆生动物的味道就不合。鸭肝本身质地不算上乘，所以偏干油份不足，加上汉堡扒也不甚出色，整体味道自然就不怎讨好。
【Gourmet Fish Burger香脆鳕鱼汉堡|HKD83】|Deep Fried tender fillet of Pollock, red cheddar cheese, lettuce, grilled pineapple tartar sauce, white balsamic flakes, toasted sesame bun|炸嫩滑冰岛鳕鱼柳，英式红车打芝士，生菜，烤菠萝他他酱，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.
这款鱼之堡是新款，强烈建议换鱼扒或者不要提供这款堡。酱汁加了碎菠萝，同塔塔酱蛮配搭，但鱼扒实在太干柴，甚至清晰试到有雪藏味！油炸的时间亦过长致使鱼肉咬开成块状剥落......有点儿可怕......
【Chicken & Bacon Burger烤鸡烟肉汉堡|HKD73】|Grilled tender chicken breast, baked crisp bacons, lettuce, tomatoes, Monterey jack cheese, aioli, toasted ciabatta|烤嫩滑鸡胸，焗脆烟肉，生菜，蕃茄，蒙特利杰克芝士，法式香蒜酱，意式软包|
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.
鸡肉的水准得到大家一致好评，认为是属于当晚惊喜之作。鸡胸肉保持了湿润，幼滑的口感，胡椒盐加香草的经典调味也没出差池，法式香蒜酱加上最后的润色，使得鸡肉在口中更加美味，当然，这种美味是相对当晚其他菜色而言的。面包虽然自称是义大利拖鞋饱，但它的干硬程度真的让人禁不住怒喝一句『别自欺欺人了！你根本是拖鞋，不是饱！』。
【Potato Wedges 薯块】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，有些内里粉嫩但有些不然。The Chop House的脆薯粒依然是吉碟帮的城中至爱，因为汉堡包餐中配菜的味道有时等于burger本身。美式椰菜沙律毫无特色矗立在旁，让人有种「吃也不是，不吃也不是」的莫名情绪，很困扰！
【T.B Nachos招牌烤芝士薯条|HKD78】|Ultimate fries, jalapeno, black olive, Velveeta cheese sauce, crispy bacon bites, guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream|特脆薯条，墨西哥青椒片，黑水榄片，美国芝士酱，脆烟肉碎，牛油果酱，莎莎酱，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.
这也是一个新菜式，而这个"混酱"的搭配，让人吃的时候有种「悲天悯人」的情怀，因为暗绿色的牛油果酱和大大块的墨西哥青椒，一边吃一边心里默念『粒粒皆辛苦，我唔可以浪费这盘薯仔…』芝士和烟肉的味道无影无踪，牛油果更被打成蓉而丧失了粒状口感和新鲜感。让人伤心的是，最近街市的牛油果一点都不便宜！
【Carolina BBQ Ribs卡罗莱纳烧烤骨|HKD136】|Tex-Mex Coleslaw, southern BBQ Sauce, fries|配特色卷心菜沙律，烧烤汁，炸薯条|
New Item! The barbeque ribs were very flavorsome, drenched in thick smokey barbeque sauce. The seasoning was just right with a slightly sweet, acidic kick to go with some meaty, soft, tender pork ribs which you can easily shred and separate. Very American style kind of homey dish that suits the cozy tiny space at Texas burgers.
烤猪肋骨味道不俗，酱汁微甜带酸又有点「攻鼻」的烟熏香气，而肉质尚算柔软，非常美国风格的食物。All of the milkshakes are served in rather large size of 14oz servings.
所有奶昔都以14安士的「大架势」示人，看著诱惑，味道如何呢？
【Tropical Forest Milkshake 14oz|HKD43】|Guava, mango, passion fruit, lime ice-cream, sliced pineapple|石榴，芒果，热情果，青柠雪糕，菠萝片|
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.
从包含的水果就可以看出这是一杯「热带风情」，奶昔虽不够浓稠，但热情果和芒果味道很突出。作为夏日特饮，它也是不错之选。
【Funky Monkey Milkshake 14oz|HKD43】|Vanilla ice-cream, banana, peanut butter, chocolate, syrup, whipping cream, explosive chocolate|云喱拿雪糕，香蕉，花生酱，朱古力糖浆，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.
这是被Lyoe形容为「早餐饮品」的奶昔。的确非常贴切：香蕉，朱古力，花生酱－－还有比这个更早餐的组合吗？如果加上两块方饱，绝对可以作早餐出售！
【Trilogy of Chocolate Milkshake 14oz|HKD49】|Chocolate ice-cream, mint jelly, chocolate syrup, whipping cream, explosive chocolate, oreo cookie|朱古力雪糕，薄荷啫喱，朱古力糖浆，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.
朱古力三重奏，薄荷味非常微弱，如果多一些朱古力雪糕和奥力奥曲奇碎就更能增加诱惑。整体感觉比较稀，仿佛是兑了水的朱古力奶。
【Berry Lover Milkshake 14oz |HKD49】|Strawberry ice-cream, raspberry, blue berry, whipping cream, fresh berries|草莓雪糕，木莓，蓝莓，忌廉，新鲜杂莓子|
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当晚最赞赏的奶昔，没有之一！丰富的蓝莓味自然微甜，水果香气浓郁，再加草莓雪糕，确实属于该店出品中口味最正常的奶昔了。
【Rustic Apple Tart乡村苹果批|HKD56】|Sea salted toffee, whipped cream, candied walnuts|海监拖肥，甜忌廉，蜜饯核桃|
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.
拖肥并没有所说的海盐滋味，而甜忌廉更加有一半处于自我放弃的融化状态。至于蜜饯核桃，我们觉得它只存在于我们的幻想当中，因为是找不到的！整个苹果批非常不振奋食欲的置于碟中，我们相看两无奈，看久生厌…
【Warm Chocolate Fudge Cake朱古力软蛋糕|HKD52】|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.
软蛋糕专属的外软内烟韧的口感在这里完全找不到，而那一球Movenpick雪糕则被默默地消灭了，因为是唯一可取的。
On average of HKD160 per person spent for the night, price range is considered above average around Tin Hau area, yet acceptable for dining out these days. It is easily a hit and miss if you haven’t tried out this place before. Make sure you order the recommended items from us ☺ Or if you are looking for a homey American fast food dining experience, Texas Burgers will be the place for you.
人均160元在天后区不算低端消费了，如果你碰巧入天后，碰巧想食burger，又碰巧附近没有别的选择，那你就去尝尝我们的推荐菜式吧。
