The Butchers Club Burger (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

As a casual fan of burgers, I think I have pretty much reached my monthly quota of 2 burgers in October. My first one at Beef & Liberty was nothing to write home about so I was really hoping that this second one will be something special and it was.

I was particularly looking forward to this burger experience for 2 very different reasons. 

Reason#1: It's at the Butchers Club Burger. For those of you who work at Wanchai, you should have noticed that long lineup at Landale Street every day at around noon. Yes, this is THE hottest burger joint in the city. 

Reason#2: Pastry chef and blogger Gregoire Michaud was in the house for a guest appearance and he has brought along with him his special recipe for a delicious Spanish-style burger.

This feels a lot like a standing sushi bar in Tokyo. Some of the diners were literally standing in the back alley while enjoying their tasty burgers and fries. How strange was that!?



The signature burger here will set you back for $100 but you know you're getting some really quality dry aged beef in return.



I decided to go for Chef Gregoire Michaud's special Spanish-style ‘Hamburguesa’ ($180) which was made with an Iberico pork, chorizo and smoked bacon patty and topped with Manchego cheese, quince paste, slow-roasted tomato tapenade and baby spinach. 

The buns were of very good quality. That spongy texture is always a sign for a good burger. On top of that, I have also enjoyed the spicy and flavorful taste immensely.



Chef Gregoire Michaud will be back again on November 10. Check him out if you're interested in a unique burger experience!
