Mark’s Assessment
Hello everybody, that is Mark! And I’m again with one other particular burger tour. And as a lot as I want I used to be nonetheless in Europe, we’re again in Canada. I’ve taken you the east coast, the prairies, and the territories and it looks like I’ve uncared for the west coast. However, concern no extra I carry you guys to Vancouver the place I go to a fairly fascinating burger joint. A burger joint that I by no means thought would exist, a joint that took the idea of burgers to a unique stage. For this particular burger tour, I take you to… Rice Burger!

Sure, you heard that proper… Rice Burger. This was a fairly distinctive discover as I used to be curious if the idea of a rice burger was legit. And lo and behold after ordering… I used to be introduced with a wonderfully made rice burger! I used to be truly fairly amazed the structural integrity of the burger and the way effectively it was in a position to preserve itself collectively.
I suppose earlier than I get too carried away, I ought to most likely let you know just a little about Rice Burger. As an alternative to the normal hamburger, the rice burger was first conceptualized in Japan which then garnered reputation throughout Asia, and finally made its method throughout the globe. The truth that this Japanese innovation made its approach to Canada certainly displays the various meals scene that Vancouver is thought for. I used to be very excited to do this!
The Beef Yakiniku Burger is comprised of beef that’s marinated in retailer and grilled to perfection. Taking that first chunk, the rice buns gave an fascinating texture of onerous and delicate. The highest was delicate and agency, whereas the underside was sadly onerous and just a little burnt. The Beef Yakiniku saved the burger. It was candy, properly seasoned, and completely cooked. After the primary couple of bites it began to disintegrate. I finally had to make use of a spoon and fork to flatten the rice, and ended up ending it off as a rice dish. It took the burger expertise out of the meal, however I can’t deny the distinctive flavour.
I additionally ordered the Kimchi Fries as a aspect. Now, I believed it could be only a small tray of fries at first. However, after they introduced it out to me in an enormous container I used to be flabbergasted and thought to myself “how am I ever going to complete this meal?”. To my shock, nonetheless, the fries had been fairly gentle and had been so good! They weren’t shy on the Kimchi as I received a full explosion of warmth in my mouth.
General, the Rice Burger expertise was one for the books. What began off as a effectively structured burger ended up as a rice plate. The flavours had been phenomenal, and the idea was nice. I don’t know if a joint like this exists elsewhere in Canada, however I’m glad I managed to discover a place ‘not so near residence’. I undoubtedly advocate this in case you’re in search of an out of the norm burger expertise, and looking out ahead to visiting once more.
