香港 -「限制級」漢堡《SHAKE 'EM BUNS》
2009/04/10 00:46:34瀏覽9974|回應20|推薦60

承認自己是個「偶發性 Junk Food Junkie」。明知垃圾速食沒啥好,但每隔一陣就把什麼低密度膽固醇、三酸甘油、飽和脂肪(...下刪十幾樣) 拋諸腦後,來一個肉汁橫流的漢堡、吃得一手狼藉的熱狗。

近年不只國際大城紛紛出現 "Gourmet Burger" 升級版漢堡,台北也多了不少非連鎖店。這些升級,不外提供更多樣化選擇、改用高級食材或大玩有機主題;於是世上有了那《The Counter》三十萬種組合(!)自選堡,也到處開賣「和牛肥肝堡」。個人一向覺得美國牛肉比和牛更適烤牛排、煎漢堡 patty;且要求沒那麼多,只要牛肉佳、麵包生菜洋蔥蕃茄像樣,一個起司漢堡(Cheese burger)已經行,如再加培根、蘑菇、煎蛋等就是豪華級了。

在街上順手接過一張傳單,一看又是和牛肥肝堡(已搞到在馬路上發傳單?),不久前才吃過 Robuchon 版、有些膩,便沒放在心上。誰知待肚子一餓,漢堡竟搶在雲吞、撈麵、牛腩牛雜之先躍入腦海 -- 難道是潛意識廣告奏效?忙問朋友在眾多新舊漢堡店中首選何者,竟不消五分鐘路程,天意:"It's Burger Time!"

銅鑼灣店

SHAKE 'EM BUNS

店不算小,裡外看來都舒服,像英式小 Pub 還多於美式 Diner。流程簡單,先點菜付錢、再就座等著吃。人員清一色菲籍外勞,全英語環境。

 Lemon Lime & Bitters

到得早,店內才兩桌客,乾脆先坐下慢慢看菜單。一看便笑到不行:有的菜名教人捧腹、有的令人會心一笑。從漢堡熱狗到飲料,有性暗示雙關語、有玩笑詞句;或許衛道人士會覺刺眼,其實還算謔而不虐趣而不鄙。玩文字遊戲、堆砌形容詞的 Menu 看得多,這麼搞笑的一頁菜單反而令人眼睛一亮。

Shake 'em buns 這名字雖讓人想起奶昔(Milk shake)與麵包(Buns),但也大可做「扭扭屁股」解,由招牌開始就幽了一默。

Happy Threesome

Happy Threesome 一客有三個迷你堡,其中 Hawaiian Surfer Girl 是加鳳梨、培根跟起司的牛肉堡,Hot Chick 自然是雞胸肉堡,Philly Willy 是費城起司牛排堡(正常版當然是做成...潛艇堡型的)。三種都有正常版,但迷你尺寸適合什麼都想嚐的客人。另點一大個兒的 Debbie Does Dallas 則是牛肉堡加培根、Cheddar 起司、大堆洋蔥、烤肉醬。

Debbie Does Dallas

曾愛喝 Lemon, Lime & Bitters,即使無酒精版也好。台北連大廠牌 Schweppes 的 Bitter Lemon 也找不到,見此處有、便點了瓶澳洲 Bundaberg 檸檬萊姆苦蘇打當飲料,與油滋滋的漢堡還挺配的。「三人行」綜合迷你堡都不錯,其中還是傳統些的 Philly Willy 最對味(別想歪了...I'm straight)。Debbie Does Dallas 則肉香、起司味濃,烤肉醬 tangy、果然有南方風味。終於過足了漢堡癮。

菜名讓人呵呵笑,男生去點菜可能還好,想像一下女生在櫃台前:

"We'd like a Doggie Style, a Sissy Boy & a Gang Bang too..."
"Also, some side order of Tater Dongs !"

有些東西「畫虎畫出骨」就無趣,譯個一半、點到為止:Doggie Style 是自選配料傳統熱狗、Sissy Boy 是素堡、Gang Bang 是雙層堡、Tater Dongs 是芋泥炸成一坨坨。其餘就看看網站上的菜單、意會一下吧...

小店舒適、有趣,不算大玩升級豪華、反而是傳統組合的調整,而且最重要的是:好吃。比起一大堆乏善可陳的『主題式餐廳』(發明這名詞者一定沒想到這麼多人拿它來當「難吃」的擋箭牌...)妙多了。就這麼決定:以後至港時,Burger Joint 就是這兒了!

同場加映:「金色拱門 M 記」雖然不是連鎖漢堡店中個人首選,但匆忙中總也吃過。去年在紐約限時試賣的 Angus Chipotle BBQ Bacon Third Pounder(now that's a mouthful) 味道卻不錯,而且...肯定是實物與圖片最接近的 M 記漢堡(...好吧,還是有些落差。但其他的為何總差那麼多 - 難道有 SOP 「壓」它一下、讓形狀「扁」得一致?)

M 型社會的漢堡 !
2009/04/10 16:32

多年前 M , Wendy, B king etc......各大連鎖店漢堡殺到 99cent each !

市佔率大了, 卻失了裡子 !

大約兩三年前 Carl's Jr 推出 $ 6 burger

 (廣告訴求  taste better than 餐廳 $ 12 burger)

100% black angus beef six dollar burger !

連鎖漢堡也可 M 右

銀子有賺到

現在其它連鎖品牌也跟進

讀書年代的記憶滿是 Carl's Jr. 的 Double Western Bacon Cheese Burger,與 $6 元漢堡緣慳一面...

Burger 在本地幾與"連鎖店"或"美X美"劃上等號, 相當無趣. 想要享受一點美式風情, 也只有茉莉漢堡之類的老店可去.

這一兩年間, 台北突然冒出幾家以漢堡為主的單店, 引發不少食客的興味, 總算, 可以用另一種方式來領略這種美式平民美食!

(茉莉以外)台北那幾家新漢堡店到底好不好、能不能吃呢?請哪位仁人君子推薦一兩家吧...

真的?所以這樣就可包成一樣「矮」、fit 進一樣的盒子,差異度搞不好還在「六個標準差」內....真是偉大的發明啊!

《The Counter》is cool. 一直想有一天能這樣點漢堡:"我要 a Third Pounder on a Sesame Bun, with Lettuce, Jalepeno Jack cheese, Grilled Onions, Bacon, Sauteed Mushrooms & a Fried Egg, Horseradish Mayo on top"... 現在真的可以了(可惜台北沒有)

謔而不虐
2009/04/10 06:42

謔而不虐是雅趣,中外皆然,
中國雅謔利在有餘,祖先更是發揚得淋漓盡致;
可惜菜名如待人,知味如識趣,
知味者少~懂得發掘雅趣者更少〔向來除了鄙人不缺〕,
想SG兄台知味識趣兼而有之。

(btw,對《新吉士》的遲來回應)
逯教授書中記載:【自卜少夫先逝,港台
懂得吃上海菜的,已經沒有幾人了】

可惜 卜逯二師已遠,無法補此憾
否則他倆熱壺太雕老黃酒佐文,閱覽
SG兄台的滬菜近作,可謂人生一樂!

不敢不敢。要逯老、卜少老以這些網路食記雜文下酒,一方面折煞我也、一方面可能要挨倆老排頭...呵呵
