[OK na Food Trip] BRGR: The Burger Project

sa tabi ng Pino Resto Bar

Ang Pasakalye:

Dahil malapit na lang din naman sa P.T. place ni Kat, naisipan namin na dito mag dinner. Nagkaligaw-ligaw pa kami sa paghahanap dahil may mga maling references online (at crap na ang serbisyo ng bagong Google Map) but it should be in the corner of Jupiter and Planet Street, a couple of steps from the Paseo de Roxas Gate of Bel-Air Village.

Ang Niyari:

• Soda Float
• Truffle Fries
• Custom Burger

The soda float is simply vanilla ice cream on Sarsi. Nothing really special about it but it's rootbeer so love, love!

should have tried the milkshakes

We've read some raves about their truffle fries so went ahead to sample it. Kapos. Lasang plastik. Not sure if that's how truffle should taste like. Malalaki yung hiwa sa fries. Kulang sa prito, as we want it crispy on the outside. We like the preparation though, the grated cheese and aioli on the side makes a good tandem to put taste on the rather bland fries. We should have gone with Chilli Cheese Fries (chilli con carne + cheese).

Next, the custom burger! Sobrang appealing na makapag customize ng sariling burger, it's a clever gimik na unti-unti nang nagsusulputan around the metro... *ubo* *pizza project* *ubo*! We're really excited on mixing things up from a long list of delicious choices and come up with our personalized burger. Ganito yung steps ng pag-pili.

• Double Angus Beef!!! (P235) 
• Sesame Seed Bun (libre!!)
• Bacon, Egg, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles (P45)
• Special BRGR Sauce (P15)

The Angus beef patty is a HUGE disappointment. I mean, for a burger place, this is the last item we expected to taste bad. The beefy taste is almost non-existent at lasang hilaw. Sabi ko nga kay Kat, ang Angus beef, even cooked rare will still hold a beefy taste. If their Angus beef is as 100% as they claim, then I've already eaten a crappy variant. Bumagsak yung excitement level namin ni Kat dahil doon, especially that just a couple of days prior to our visit in this place, we've had Angus Beef in Baguio and it's nothing short of awesome so mataas pa ang craving namin for more. I also have to mention na hindi mainit na-serve yung patty. Anyway, we'll just settle for their regular patty if there's a next time.

ang burger na OK

Sesame seed bun is just okay. Bacon, egg, and the rest of the shebang made for a good mix to cover up the taste of the bland patty. Sinasabayan din namin ng fries na may mayo-ketchup-mustard yung burger para mas lalong magkalasa.

The special BRGR sauce is nothing too special. Parang yung special sauce lang din ng Burger McDo.

our dinner

Ang Gastos:
Our burger is almost P300 but you can have a minimally customized one for as low as P150.

So mura pa din generally, considering they have a chill place and just set a low expectation with the burger (kahit supposedly burger place sila).

Ang Chechebureche:
Upon entry, you will be given an order slip where you can start working on your burger by ticking items on it. Neat process. Kung hindi trip mag-personalize, pwede naman mag order sa mga preset burgers nila which starts at P170 to P220.

cute chalk work

Mapapansin agad ang uber cute doodles around the place. We love it! In general, the place is very homey. Masarap tumambay.

cute interiors

Self service dito, from water to utensils kelangan hingiin sa counter. Okay mag entertain ng mga questions about the ingredients yung mga staff. They are nice and friendly.

Ang Buod:
Talo talaga yung lasa nung burger patty. If just to have an analogy, mas masarap pa yung patty ng Wendy's burger, and that's fastfood shit.
