Wham! Burgers

Wham Burger

Presentation: 4 stars

It's a patty that’s packed with ketchup, mustard, lettuce and tomato. Now, though the meal wasn't really eye-catching for customers, their wrapper or packaging was good and simple which made it more appealing.

Taste: 4 stars

Two thumbs-up for the meal! Compared to other patties, their patty was freshly made which was really delicious. Everything was surprisingly excellent but there were parts of the burger that were burnt so it affected the overall taste of the burger.

Price: 3.5 stars

The price was reasonable. However the problem was that there was no side dish included in the meal.

Overall: 3.5/5 stars


Double Wham Burger w/ Garlic Mayo

I decided to go for the big one this time and I must say, I certainly got what I expected.

Presentation: 4 stars

Size wise, the Double Wham Burger is definitely one of the biggest burgers I’ve ever seen. It’s a bit expensive though but after it all, I must say it’s quite worth it. I have to admit that this one ranks pretty high among all the burgers I’ve ever eaten in my life. To be honest though, once I received the burger, I was ready to be disappointed. At first look, the burger didn’t look all that fresh. The green vegetables weren’t all that green and had little dark parts in it. The tomatoes look like they’ve been in the fridge for quite a while. Perhaps it’s because we ordered takeout this time.

Taste: 5 stars

But the buns looked ok and were actually quite good and I have no complaints about the patties though even they were a little different than what I was used to.

It wasn’t compact but very juicy and fresh tasting nonetheless. It definitely was perfectly cooked and my sauce choice for today, garlic mayo, was a pretty good match.

Overall: 4.5/5 stars

Price: a little more than P200

Definitely recommend it!


Bronco Burger


Presentation: 4 stars

It looked delicious and mouth-watering! The meat looked juicy; the bacon and onions looked crisp. The smell of the well-cooked patty and barbecue sauce entices you to take a bite.



Taste: 4 stars

Every bite is an explosion of goodness! Everything goes well with one another; the cheese, meat, onions, bacon, and barbecue sauce complemented each other. I really liked the play of textures from the crisp onions to the crunchy bacon to the juicy and tender patty and to the oozing cheese.


Price: 3.5 stars


Every penny was worth it :)


Overall: 4/5 stars

Price: P 154

Brothers Burgers


I heard a lot from this restaurant so I tried what they had there. It was a simple day, so I ordered their "normal" or the usual burger that people would buy.

Brothers Burger with Blue Cheese
( I know, I have been craving for Blue Cheese since our last quest was a failure, I was hoping Brothers Burgers wouldn't fail to impress me)



Presentation: 2 Stars

It looks perfect except that the Blue Cheese looked unappetizing.

Taste: 4 Stars

It tastes so much better than as what it looks like, I promise. Everything was perfect! The patty was nicely flame-broiled, the oatmeal buns were definitely delicious, the fresh lettuce had a nice crisp when you bite into it, and the tomato added to the yumminess of the burger.

The Blue Cheese tasted surprisingly like Blue Cheese. Compared to our last quest, the Blue Cheese as you may have remembered, didn't taste like cheese at all. Their Blue Cheese added a bit of zing that titillates your taste buds and it would leave you wanting more.

Price: 4 Stars

P 155 ( The Burger was P1o5, and the add-on Blue Cheese was P55)

The price was worth it! I would only like to criticize that perhaps the Blue Cheese was a tad bit expensive.

Overall: 3.5/5 Stars

I will definitely try their other burgers; they have Quarter Pounders, Lamb, Angus Beef burgers. I will definitely come back :)


They have a website and you can check out their other mouth-watering burgers:

Bite Club

The Bombarella with Buffy! Garlic and Cheese

This particular burger has a half pound patty, lettuce, tomatoes, fried garlic, and a generous helping of cheese.

Presentation : 3 Stars

Sadly, the Bombarella doesn’t look particularly appetizing. It looked as if it was haphazardly thrown together and although the ingredients were fresh, it did not look all that good.

Taste: 4 Stars

Fortunately, the taste of the Bombarella is superb. The patty was juicy and perfectly cooked and the fresh vegetables added a certain crispiness to it. The buns were a bit thin but very soft nonetheless. And the cheese, it brought everything together for a superb taste experience.

Price: 3 Stars

The price for the dish is quite expensive but again nothing most cannot afford. Unfortunately, despite its apparent size, the Bombarella doesn’t quite fill you up. As my friend said, “It looks big, but you can eat it in five minutes and still be hungry afterwards.” Overall, if you want a burger as a satisfying meal, then don’t go for this one. There are others out there that will give you more value for your peso.

Cost: P245

Overall: 3/5 Stars

Burgerella with Fromage Blue


It doesn't look that appetizing and it looked as if the ingredients were tossed altogether without even thinking of making it appear delicious.

Presentation : 3 stars

This burger disappointed me because its taste was that of a mediocre burger. The patty was nicely cooked and it was juicy, but it tasted plain. The fromage blue or blue cheese didn’t really add anything to make the burger more flavorful; it tasted bland.

Taste: 2.5 stars

The price is relatively high for a burger that is just so-so. There is nothing new with this burger, you‘d rather have a burger from Mcdonald’s because it wouldn't satisfy your hunger. I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Price: 2.5

Overall: 3/5 stars

Cost: P 195

Burgerella with Cream Me Champion Cheddar

Presentation: 3.5 stars

The burger could have been served in a better way. In our opinion, it would have looked better if they wrapped the paper in the burger instead of laying it on top of the paper in a tray. However, the burger itself looked good. The cheese gave the burger a great look.

Price: 4 stars

The price was very reasonable. The downside however is the lack of sidings. The burger costs P170 without sidings. But all in all, this burger was priced fairly.

Taste: 4.5 stars

The burger’s taste stood out. The patty wasn’t as flavorful but the cheddar cheese brought it back. The taste of this cheddar cheese was confusing but it was the good kind of incomprehension.

Cost: P170

Overall: 4/5 stars

The Place

Getting to Bite Club isn’t a hassle at all. It’s only a quick drive from Ateneo. Bite Club has a comfortable feel to it. The place is comfortable and it makes you want to eat your burger in rather than taking it out.

If you’re interested in trying it out, here’s the address:

Katipunan Ave.
Quezon City, Metro Manila

Emmental Burger



Emmental Burger from La Creperie in Eastwood












Taste

The Emmental Burger definitely ranks among the best burgers I have ever eaten! Everything was fresh and very well cooked. The patties were juicy and cooked just right. It went well with the extremely soft buns and the crispy fries on the side! Every single one of these added to one of the best burger experiences I’ve ever had!

Presentation

I’ve been to many restaurants that serve dishes which were not quite what they promised in the menu display. But the Emmental Burger was not one of them! The real thing was as appetizing as it looked and I definitely got what I expected!

Price

Like many of the dishes in La Creperie, the Emmental Burger is a bit expensive. It’s nothing most students can handle but definitely a bit tough on the wallet. But despite that, it’s definitely worth it! The taste aside, the entire dish itself was very filling and delivers a good value for your peso. I definitely recommend it!
