After having heard about this place from two fellow colleagues. The response was the same; "it's not bad but not going back ever again." As a big fan of American fast food, I had to try.I had arrived at about 12:20 at noon and already the shop was filled with customers... that was a good sign. There was a small line up but nothing that would scare me away. I immediately noticed the incredibly small and exclusive menu. Burger, duck fat fries and few drinks selection. Burger was $100hkd, Duc

I had arrived at about 12:20 at noon and already the shop was filled with customers... that was a good sign. There was a small line up but nothing that would scare me away. I immediately noticed the incredibly small and exclusive menu. Burger, duck fat fries and few drinks selection. Burger was $100hkd, Duck Fat Fries were $20hkd and drinks ranged from $20-50hkd.
My colleague and I had both order a burger and a coca cola. We were reluctant to order any of the specialty colas cause quite frankly $20 for a coke is quite ridiculous in itself (considering it was really just a small burger joint) nevermind paying $30 for a root beer which I could have easily paid $10 for at the 7-11 across the street.
The burgers took a while (around 20 minutes) and I thought well "good things aways need to wait." As the server delivered our burgers with her great service (and this I truly mean), this was my impression...
I had not done any read ups about this place and do not know what kind of meat or culinary skill was put into these burgers but the first bite... No surprise. It didn't feel much different from a burger from Cali Burger down the road, or Big Bite in North Point. The bun was nice, and the burger bun reminded me of a well made ciabatta. While it didn't get soggy till the very end (maybe that was my fault since I was squeezing the burger a fair bit.) The burger was a little greasy but that didn't bother me much. What did bother me was that there was not much flavour in the meat patty at all. It was all from the salty seasoning. For me a good burger must taste like good beef and honestly I tasted grease, the salty seasoning and the texture of the mince (that's good because I hate patties that have been formed with force and beaten down to a pulp).
I was really surprised this self proclaimed gourmet burger haven used this weird salad dressing/sauce on it's burger. Do I hear Hong Kong Triple O's or McDonalds shogun burger? A good meat patty does not need sauce. That's why it is char-grilled, to add that flavor into the great meat flavor it should have but I reckon they added this sauce cause the beef patty apart from the seasoning and grease, was flavorless.
The burger was not small but it wasn't big neither considering they were charging $100. So if you ask me whether my opinion of this burger have been affected by their price? Well sure, I mean it's not because they are expensive, but because they are serving me something that doesn't meet up to it price. I don't mind paying $150 for a burger if it tastes like a $150 burger, but this burger tastes like a $50 burger.
So whether or not it's worth giving a try it's up to you but if there is a line up I would rather head down to the other burger place nearby (I am in no way associated with them), spend $100 get some onion rings, same quality burger and a fountain pop.
