Burger That Flips Sideways

I sometimes wonder how long can a person keep his/ her blog alive and well? Being a sane human is already hard enough in this crazy world, what more to keep ‘entertaining’ people around the cyber-world. Okay I am just being dramatic so that people sympathizes this abandoned little ‘corner’. But I guess I will save the whining for some other time. =) By the way, I well thanks.

Random decision I’ve made today for what to have for dinner. This was at 5.20pm when I finally started driving home from work. Yes, I drove because of the horrible weather since yesterday… the gale force winds, the sudden heavy pours, the chills, the messy hair, etc., etc… back to dinner. This one place I always drive pass on the way to and from work. I’ve always noticed the popularity of this one shop that people always queuing for… just like those pizzerias. Nope not a pizza place, but a burger bar. Oh well, just thought I give it a go. It’s sitting in the middle of a row of shops, in between two bars/ coffee place. How bad can that be?

But honestly speaking I have never been a fan of burgers until that one day, with friends we went all the way to Guildford for a roadside burger – Alfred’s Kitchen. No more photos taken other than the below (thanks to Aditya), as that night I was cold and hungry and couldn’t wait to grab my food and munch all the way down my stomach. Well, I can agree with rest that this is one of the best in Perth! Also gave me a close to home feeling because it’s street side. Felt like we’re at a mamak stall.

Ok, back to my dinner… yes another burger. It’s called Flipside Burger Bar. I can’t really put Alfred’s and Flipside’s burgers side-by-side. Both are different – one being traditional (I don’t mean old), open/ street side with truckies as frequent customer; and the other being contemporary, indoor/ jazzed atmosphere with wine sippers and coffee lovers. But both are home-made to order with fresh ingredients and taste great! I guess I can choose to walk straight pass fast-food chains for burgers and swap with this big chunky stacks with the real deal.

They serve beef, chicken and vegetarian burgers. Oh guess what? They serve lean beef! And there’s option for a free range egg added too. Quick, tick the ‘low fat’ box! Now this is one healthy burger, my call. Tee hee! My burger pick is beef burger – Avocado & Bacon. Description? This is what the menu says: 150g prime beef, avocado, crispy bacon, salad, tomato relish & mayo. Their chips are tempting – it’s chunky fat!. I passed on chips today… maybe another day. Definitely going back for another bite!

The love for burger…
