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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

When we got to the Burger Room we were in time to get their Tea Set. Restaurants having \u201cTea Sets\u201d 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\u2019s tea set is available between 2:30pm and 6:00pm.<\/p>\n

For 38 HKD + 8 HKD for cheese (~6 dollars) we got the meal pictured below (we ordered two of these). <\/p>\n

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\u2019t on the menu.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

In case you are thinking of going there the Burger Room is located at:<\/p>\n

G\/F, 7 Caroline Hill Road
Causeway Bay, Hong Kong<\/p>\n

For those of you not used to Hong Kong addresses, the G\/F just means it\u2019s on the ground floor.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
