Burgers Hong Kong

Quarter Master’s beef burger is an exquisite hamburger. The burger is supplied with a decorous range of ingredients; from the beef all through to the bun, the components form a well standing burger taste balance. It is not until one is well entrenched in some bites that the burger begins to show its shortcomings – that every munch, every mouthful, denotes the hamburger’s need for a little more beef, a bit extra cheese, a second smidgen of sauce.

On its arrival a golden-brown sheen follows the burger in its wake; a beautiful bun that causes this glimmer to crave takes charge with a soft mild sweetness to savor one’s palate. Veins of meat juice, emanating from a patty with a righteous beef taste – untouched from heavy seasoning, and textured so that it gently pulls itself apart, collect and run down through the bottom bun in good measure. Rows of delectable bacon, though slightly undercooked, overlay the burger with judicious touches of salt that burst with each chew. Adversely, the cheese barely manages to leave a mark. The tomato provides the hamburger and bun with an enjoyable tangy feel that stands solid for a single vegetable layer.

Then there’s the sauce… this beautiful rich aioli mixture, a thick mayo-ey cream that is formed with a touch of black garlic as its essence, a sauce that binds to the sense of taste in luscious form. There just isn’t enough of it in the burger… really. You see, without the bun all these ingredients would do a marvelous job, but it is the bun that commands this burger’s burger construction and subsequent burger taste balance. Its size lessens the impact of the flavors reducing the spirits of the other ingredients, ingredients that simply haven’t been sufficed to match the correct ratios. It might be hard to notice at first, but it will happen, one’s taste will crave for a little more, for just a slight extra.

For 90.00 HKD, plus 30.00 HKD and 15.00 HKD for cheese and bacon respectively, this is a burger that is well worth a try. It’s a burger that has positioned itself within the ranks to deliver a great hamburger experience, the fries are great (with the sauce better); but the burger simply needs a dollop, a spoonful, a chunk, a sliver of each of its ingredients for it to truly rise above. It needs to master its quarters as to adequately provide what is necessary to be all that it can be.
