Proper Hamburger not franchised junk food

Posted by St Kilda Beach (559 days ago)

Australians here will know what I mean.

Anybody know where I can get a traditional " fish and chip shop " nutritional Hamburger that uses fresh minced beef ( not frozen patties ), freshly sliced beatroot, tomato, cooked onion, bacon, egg and using a normal hot plate cooked bun, not a steam sweetend bun ! As Aussies would term, "a Hamburger with the lot "

Not interested in Triple O's, Burger King or Mc D's, and just want a standard "freshly cooked " burger like we used to get in Melbourne, the traditionally Greek/Italian owned corner fish and chip shop variety.

Ruby Tuesdays is close, but it isnt a takeaway shop, just an eat in TGIF sort of place, not to mention that the burgers there are bland, with a very limited selection.

The American 1950's style hole in the wall burger stand burgers are virtually the same as the Aussie take away food shop version, but, to date, I have never seen this variety exist in HK either.

Any idea's, are there any Australian "owned" and operated cafe's in Hong Kong ? If anybody mentions the American " outback " restaurant, which serves its own foods with Australian sort of themed food names ! I'll get stroppy lol. ...

Find what you are after in our Hong Kong A-Z Directory

I guess Cul-de-Sac fulfills quite many of those requirements although not the Australian ownership (as far as I know)

Chicken on the Run (Aussie takeaway shop) does an Aussie Beef Burger. Get off the Mid-levels escalator after Caine Rd - it's on your right hand side.

Also Cru, Soho and Sai Kung.

Not sure whether Jaspa's or Zaks would do them, but they're run by aussies.

Bulldog's also do a burger with beetroot in but I don't think they're aussie.
