A good burger is a hard find in HK despite the numerous burger joints around. A lot of the places are soulless and lack love. That is not something you can say about the burgers at Electric Avenue.
So after reading about this place on one of my fav food blogs in HK FYN (may offend, you've been warned), the amazing burgers and especially the 5 hr bone marrow fries (and likelihood of selling out), I decided to make a trip down there after heavy gym session (to be calorie neg obviously) and bring a few friends.So the few friends turned into 10 of us (no one ever says no to trying a burger joint), and to ensure we will all get our fries/burgers, the crazy foodie in me messaged days ahead and the owner promised that there will be enough fries for us all (yes I am cray).
So we all streamed in at around 9.30pm, pretty much filled the place, heard the good news that Electric Avenue received its liquor licence that day, ordered the first (of many) round of beers and variety of burger/fries combinations. So there were beef, chicken cabonara, 5 hour bone marrow fries and chili con carne fries. I personally got the chicken cabonara (2nd last one) and 5 hr fries. The burgers took a while but that's cos I know lots of love (and ingredients) goes into making each one. Be patient, don't be grumpy, good things happen to those who wait. Once my glorious chicken cabonara burger arrived with the runny egg, bits of smoked ham, plentiful of melty cheese and tender chicken, well, I was a happy girl. The fries. Oh glorious fries.... fried to perfection with a side of homemade tomato sauce (or ketchup the Americans would call it), obviously those who ordered after me tucked right into my fries (it's ok, I ate theirs after).
Words can't really describe how great it was, I need to go back and have the beef burger, if you haven't tried, you really should. read more
