Blend Chicken Burger

Taste

This one came cooked to order, a soft white, lightly toasted hamburger roll sandwiched a big slice of chicken breast, with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, mayo and sweet chilli sauce. The mix of the ingredients delivered a satisfying hit. The chicken was succulent and the sauces mingled together with the fat of the chicken to give a gooey stream of heaven. You get a choice of having it without cheese, or with pineapple, or with cheese and pineapple. You can pick between chilli, tomato and puri-puri sauce. So just like Oporto but with more choices. I didn't try the chips, but Nic gave them the thumbs up too!

This arrived on a big plate with the chicken sticking out. It's never a pretty site eating hamburgers. I managed to just hold mine together, but I had the wonderful sauce and bits of lettuce and tomatoes falling all over the plate. What better way is there to eat a burger?

$5.10, $4.90 without the cheese, and another 30 cent I think for the pineapple. A cut above the average burger joint.

Oporto Regular Bondi Burger

Taste

Confession, I've never eaten a full Oporto burger before. Well, why would you go to a chain when there are so many choices available? Slokky is always raving on about Oportos though, so when we visited Pacific Fair, where the only choice available was fast food, we decided to give Oportos a go.

According to Slokky, they cook their burgers to order and only use fresh chicken breast. This sure ain't fast food though, we had to wait for about 10 mins for our burger. Fortunately, the chicken was more tasty than I thought, the chilli sauce helping it along. Still, given the choice, I would choose something else.

Look

The bun (toasted) was very white and soft, with a sprinkle of sesame seed. The white chicken flesh smeared with chilli sauce, a sprinkling of shaved iceburg completed the picture. I think I must be out of practise with eating takeaway burgers, because I managed to scatter lettuce and sauce all over the wrapper, whereas Slokky handled his much better.

I can't believe a burger costs $6! I think it really must've been a long time. I guess if you compare it to other food court food around, it's a fair price. Still, I would rather spend my $6 on something else.
