Having been let down by one too many burger joints, it never really occurred to me to try Shake'em Buns until today. Overcome with an urge to have a good burger, I headed towards S'eB with an obliging and hungry work mate.The joint is not big but feels spacious with the high ceiling and open shop front. As we were really quite hungry, we didn't pay too much attention to the decor but went straight for the menu. The content of the menu all seemed very tempting, but the menu itself was a little sticky, I think the management should do something about that. From the blackboard by the road side, we knew there were combos but none was listed on the menu. Apparently the only combo menu was on the wall but the words were way too small to be read properly from our table. Another place for improvement.My colleague ordered a Cushin' for the Pushin' combo and I the Hawaiian Surfer Girl. The burgers were quite hefty and so they should be. Personally I think all burgers should be of a certain minimum size before they can be called burgers !Now the moment of truth.... 'Tis GOOOOOOOD.... The buns were fab, crispy on the outside and soft inside, solid enough to hold up against the juicy patty but not so dense that it was an effort to chew. The meat was flavourful, juicy and had the right texture, like what one would get with good, quality mince. There was just the right amount of crispy lettuce, tomato and onion to complement the patty. As I was busy chomping away the best burger i've had in ages, I forgot to try the chips, oh, sorry, fries. But when the burger is this good, who needs fries?? I don't.A very satisfying meal, love it!

中环本店好评甚多，是日到湾仔逛街，忽然想食burger便顺道到访。晚上我的胃纳不太多，眼看邻桌的薯条不甚吸引，虽然大大块奖状置于眼前，我还是选择单点了个包，再抢CM的薯条食算了~Cushin’ for the Pushin’ 即牛肉汉堡加Cheddar Cheese，汉堡充满肉汁，真正的手打牛肉汉堡，混入了炒香过的洋葱，再煎得外层有些微焦香，够香口又鲜味，好味! 面包很普通，不算很软熟或者带牛油香那种，个人觉得已结业的Beer & Burger International的面包比较好食，配菜蕃茄和罗马生菜都算新鲜，但略为少了点，个人还是喜欢多一点配菜，肉味搭清甜，感觉平衡点~ Cheddar cheese用上了一块四方形的家庭装，加了等于没加，芝士味淡极了，令人失望。Frying Nemo…有睇海底奇兵都估到是鱼柳包，鱼柳都几新鲜，没丁点雪味，但还是Triple O的较鲜甜味美，而且后者够厚，咬落去感觉很满足。薯条非厚切，薯味一般，即叫即炸不会难食，但离香脆好食就仍有点距离了。桌上放著4款tabasco，试了green pepper 和smoked，最合我口味的是smoked，和牛肉太夹了，不过这里的汉堡肉汁够多，不用加更能食到其鲜味。除了汉堡牛肉，其他如面包、芝士、薯条都不吸引，牡丹虽好都需绿叶扶持，一块汉堡扒实在不足以吸引我特地再去，我想都要等到我顺路经过又特别想食汉堡的那天了~

What's your expected service in Shake'em Buns ? If you wonder try once in Shake'em Buns, you better firstly "adapt" their slow-speed service. When one walked into Shake'em Buns, you found no one in the order counter. No one will service you actively, untill they heard you did request help for several time. But You still could see two ladies in a kitchen and have chatting for a long period of time. In this moment, you may ask, how come you can't find the helpful one.Above is the worst experience I found in a burger kitchen... I waited my Gang Beng for over 20 minutes after orderining, however, I only got one salty rich food finally... Burger is "fallen" and I can't see how they "strive" for made this Gang Beng. There's few customer in restaurant, and there is no necessary for staff all in a kitchen for food preparation and cooking. Would they consider to improve their service ?Anyway, I don't think this worth me to visit again. I was totally disappointed and once is enough.

Having heard of the name Shake'em Buns for so many times, I finally got my chance to dine there! We arrived the J Residence but had no idea where the restaurant was, so we walked round the building and checked things out at the same time. During the circling, we located several decent restaurants in the building that we have heard of but not knowing where they are. Seems I would be dinning here a lot in the coming weeks.Shake'em Buns' decor was way nicer than I thought it would be. My boyfriend always refer it as reasonable fast food restaurant, so I was expecting something like freshness burger or similar. Yet Shake'em Buns was more like an American pub restaurant. Spacious settings, colourful posters, photo frames, metal plate slogans, wooden table and chairs and a nice wide open kitchen...were all over my expectation.Service was rather nice. I didn't have my glasses on that day, so I couldn't read the combo poster on the high wall. The staff noticed that and reposted the combo poster right behind the order point for my easy reading. They were such considerate ones.1) Red on the Neck Combo with Fries and milkshake $98I had this combo, priced at $98 using a $100 worth coupon but only paid for $50. Red on the Neck was Carolina Classic Burger with homemade chilli and coleslaw. I ordered this burger 'coz I thought the chilli here meant spicy chilli, but it actually meant meat paste like bolognese. The burger bun was extremely crispy at the outside, but still keeping the softness within. The beef patty was cooked medium, although not particularly juicy, was still very tender and soft. The patty was made pretty loosely which seemed like it would fall apart any second, but could still hold firmly at place. Within the burger, there were also mexican beans and caramelised onion which made the burger delicious.The fries was crispy, not particularly special but definitely better than those franchised fast food restaurants. The regular fries was more a fat fries. I had my fries goes with ketchup+mayo and ketchup+mustard. Both tasted very nice with the fries.I forgot the exact name of my Chocolate milkshakes, it was a shake with chocolate and peanut butter. The shakes was icy and tasted really nice at first, it had a strong taste of peanut and chocolate in it. However, when it came to the middle of the drink, I suddenly came to realise it was a bit too sweet and filling.2) South of the Border with Fries and Coconut Shakes $98My boyfriend ordered the South of the Border, I had thought about having that too, but stopped when I saw there is guacamole in it. The burger came with sour cream and salsa, combining with the guacamole, the sauce was quite overly much. The bun was soft and nearly mashy since the sauce made it soft. I wondered why didnt they toast the bun just like mine before sandwiching the ingredients, or is South of the Border doesn't used to go with toasted bun? Despite the bun, which was a bit disappointing, the burger was literally delicious. The salsa was spicy but the spiciness was brought down and also spiced up by the sour cream and the guacamole. The saucing deeply penetrated the burger patty and making it extra juicy, giving its natural tenderness, the patty was something to enjoy! You will find yourself could not resist in biting the burger one after another.The Coconut Milkshakes was another nice drink to enjoy. The first few sip you will find a strong taste of vanilla in it, then you will find a tint of coconut flavour lingering along your throat. What's amazing about the drink was that there were literally coconut bits in it! The coconut fruit was chewy but soft. One slight criticism was the portion of vanilla taste might be a bit too strong which overtook the taste of coconut in general.Feeling very contented after the delighted burgers, I will definitely come back for another try out of their other burgers, given their attractive price and decent food.For more photos, please visit:www.cinnamon4coffee.blogspot.com
