Handburger

Thanks to cknewsstand, we tried this new gourmet burger joint at the basement of Raffles City. We had 'The Works Burger', a pretty thick burger patty made with sirloin, onion rings, sweet caramelised onions, a sunny side up, 2 strips of bacon, tomato, lettuce, mushrooms, sauce (can't remember what), and of course the lightly toasted bun. Overall, it tasted pretty good to me. The texture of the beef patty was rather unique - it was neither a slab of actual meat, nor a grainy kind of minced patty. Somehow, the texture was firm but somewhat powdery; reminded me of the texture of chicken liver.

Special mention goes to the ball-like thing you see on the left. That's actually a skinned tomato stuffed with coleslaw and topped with a carrot dressing I think. The tomato was not the local, bright orange-y kind, but rather the deep red coloured ones. It was not sour but sweet, and served cold - somewhat refreshing from the flavours of the burger.
