Carl's Junior

Now this is what I call a real burger, not the the sorry excuse of the real thing we encountered a couple of weeks' back. Might I add that it was precisely the 'fault' of the last burger experience that left me feeling 'empty' and hankering for a real burger, to satisfy the craving. Coincidentally, when I mms'd mum the picture of my burger, she too had just had hers, from Carl's no less. :) Great minds think alike. Haha.

Yum, the picture below shows the portabello mushroom burger which hubby had. Look at the luscious mushrooms, gorgeous.

The fries were very nice, but too much for comfort, after a full burger. There was no way I could consume them all, even with help from the princess.

Here's mine. You can tell, by the sticker of course. ;) I detest raw onions and while we're at that, I detest pickles too and the tomato ketchup they slather on. I must remember to ask them to leave those out the next time I order.

What does it remind you of? Ok, don't even go there!

All washed down with the most delicious Oreo milkshake. :)

Homemade burgers

Made chicken burgers for dinner last evening. For the patty, I used the following -

Minced chicken - approximately 500g
barbeque sauce
worcestershire sauce
bit of oyster sauce
dash of sesame oil
breadcrumbs - 2-3tbsps
1/2 an onion - diced
1/2 a carrot - shredded
Extra breadcrumbs for coating

Mix the above together and form into patties. Cover with breadcrumbs and fry. The above recipe yielded 5 big patties and 1 small.

Assembled the burger with cheese slice, lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, egg, and drizzled with mayonnaise.

Happy to say that it was very well-received, even by princess who isn't typically a burger gal. :) But of course hers was only a mini version without an egg. And since I had extra patties leftover, I made them for a friend who was coming by.
