A Yummy Burger Run

This is a post I have been meaning to publish for awhile now but haven't got around to it!

Starving for another burger joint, Jamie and I went on a burger adventure to Wembley Downs (Keng's area) Flipside burger joint. Their original shop is situated in North Fremantle and having receive top reviews before my taste buds were warming up.

My first impressions of the restaurant were that it kinda looked like a fish and shop, being relatively dull with a white paint decor. Although they did have drum media magazines (local music scene) which was quite cool.

My Chilli Burger

When the burger came out to be honest it didn't look very tantalizing. The bun was slightly over sized hiding any gooey cheese covered meat paddie. However looks can be deceiving because my first bite consisted of a crisp textured bun causing a crunch enamting from my mouth and chili jam that tasted slightly sweet along with tang and spice. The meat was also not dry but moist as i sank my teeth into the burger.

The chips were crisp on the outside and fluffy like clouds on the inside because I know what clouds taste like of course. They were very well cooked chips however they got cold quite quickly and became quite average. Their aioli chip dip had a tangy cheesy flavour however there was only enough aioli to dip about three chips lol, which was quite disappointing.

V Burger Bar V stands for Velicous?

I heard about this place on Oday (university open day) receiving a pamphlet offering one dollar chips. A couple of months later ready to go to V burger I had lost the pamphlet unfortunately. However I was quite excited since it was a new burger joint.

The place itself is quite small but has a lot of windows so it feels quite open and also let's you take in the lovely atmosphere of Vic park ( Jamie and I saw a couple quarreling later on down the street).

Jamie's Crispy Crisp

The pricing of the burgers aren't to bad, the average burger there being ten dollars and you can grab chips and drinks for an extra five. I definitely suggest you invest in the chips because they are reaaaaallllly goood, undeniably some of the best chips I have had. The chips are almost as crunchy as a carrot also the chips didn't have that greasy feel you usually get. The onion rings are also delectable however not as good as the ones you can get at Jusbugers.

My V Teriyaki Chicken Burger
and Awesome chips

When my burger came out my dopamine levels went straight up (happy molecule in the brain). I had a chicken burger that had this really different wasabi mayo. Which I think could have been a little more subtle. The chicken was moist and the combination of the flavours in the burger worked really well. Jamie had the beef burger that had onion rings in it a definite winner just like my burger also having a good combination of flavours. The bread holding the burgers together is similar to that of a Turkish bread so it has that soft doughy spongey texture absorbs the flavours well.

Onion rings mmm

Probably the only complaint is that the structural integreity of my burger wasn't that great and my hand was covered in wasabi mayo or I might just be a very messy eater.

FAB Definately worth a visit

According to www.burgerquest.com criteria such as the ratio of burger to bun, the texture of the burger and its flavours and structural integrity are what build a professional burger. I would definitely say that Finest Australian Burgers succeed in each of these areas. I ate at the Hillarys restaurant however they also have a restaurant in Subiaco.

FAB is situated toward the back of Hillarys Boat Harbour near where boats are moored for sale. While waiting for my burger in great anticipation, other people were received their burgers they looked so good and were making me ravenous! Finally my burger arrived.













The gourmet bun and perfectly melted cheese over a generously thick pattie made it a dazzling sight, that I just wanted the burger to meet my stomach :). The moist meat pattie was juicy and bursting with flavour. There was also a delightful chutney in the burger that gave it a vinegary tang that wasn't to powerful but just enough to give a different taste. The tomato and lettuce tasted fresh and worked hand in hand with the rest of the burger. The thick cut chips were crispy and freshly cooked however not the best i have had. The second time i visited FAB in Hillarys I ordered the great Elvis burger as it came with a free glass of wine, being Asian i like my value :P. The burger had two patties which i found to be way to much meat and had a hard time finishing it, so i would not recommend the Elvis burger unless you haven't been eating for a few days.

The restaurant also boasted something i have never encountered at a restaurant before. If you eat inside the restaurant you can draw on the TABLES! EXTREMELY COOL! The tables are covered with paper and a cup of texta's which lie at your imaginative disposal. Have battles with you friends in writing or doodle crazy pictures while you wait. The service was very good with the waitress coming promptly. Overall an affordable and fun place to delight your taste buds at.
