Today we went for a long walk up a mountain today. I wanted to check out a trail at the Tai Tam Country Park. I figured this long sojourn up the side of a mountain (2.5 miles to the trail and then back), warranted a slight indulgence.

We had read on the internet about a place called the Burger Room right near where we live in Causeway Bay. Since we wanted to reward ourselves for a long walk we felt that cheeseburgers and French Fries were the way to go.

When we got to the Burger Room we were in time to get their Tea Set. Restaurants having “Tea Sets” is quite common in Hong Kong. Basically you can get a tea set when you come into the restaurant in between the lunch and dinner hours. Burger Room’s tea set is available between 2:30pm and 6:00pm.

For 38 HKD + 8 HKD for cheese (~6 dollars) we got the meal pictured below (we ordered two of these).

This is their mini burger. The mini burger is about 1.5 times as filling as a whopper from Burger King. Their normal burgers are gargantuan behemoths of heart attack inducing meat and oils, so its good we got a chance to get the tea set. The mini burger is ONLY offered with the tea set, at least it wasn’t on the menu.

This Burger was EXTREMELY good though. It actually tasted healthy in a really good sort of way. Now when I say it tastes healthy I am comparing it to other burgers, not vegetables or some other actually healthy food.

The reason for the healthy taste, if you want to call it that, is that the beef patty has VERY little fat in it. I really, really, really loved this burger. If you are more into burgers than me I would definitely recommend trying one of their larger burgers. But for those of us that just want a taste the mini-burger tea set is just fine. You get a REALLY good burger, without the guilt associated with eating 1000 calories or more of heart attack inducing goodness!

In case you are thinking of going there the Burger Room is located at:

G/F, 7 Caroline Hill Road
Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

For those of you not used to Hong Kong addresses, the G/F just means it’s on the ground floor.
