Ah burgers, a beautiful combination of meat, carbs, vegetables and sauce. The concept itself is undeniably simple, yet when executed properly, a humble hamburger is a gorgeous thing. It should have a medium/medium-rare patty; a tart sauce; pickles to cut through the richness of the beef; gooey grilled cheese; and fresh vegetables for a touch of crispness. As long as you got those bases covered, your burger is good to go. Anything more will simply obstruct it's natural beauty. However, the motto
Soft Melted Cheese Burger

Another issue with the whole 'cheese inside the burger thing' is that it makes the cheese taste one dimensional. By putting a slice of cheese on top of the patty, then flipping it so it comes into direct contact with the stove, the cheese mops up the caramelised beef juices which provides it with another level of flavour and oomph. Here, you get a thick, bright orange liquid inside your burger that strangely tastes of the nacho cheese sauce served in cinemas. While the burger does have a second piece of cheese on top of the patty, it was not properly melted and tasted lifeless, like it came from a packet. There were also issues with the bun and the sauce. The bun was crumbly, and after a few bites, fell apart into pieces and created a bit of a soggy mess. The sauce was sickly sweet and failed to provide the sharpness craved by a burger with a dense patty and two portions of cheese. The whole thing was too heavy, too cloying, too dense, and I wish I was served a simple, well-executed original instead.
There are positives, the patty, despite it's shortcomings, tasted nice and remained juicy. Adding onions gave it another flavour and textural dimension. Prices are also reasonable, as you get a generous-sized melted cheese burger for HK$52 (cheaper options begin at HK$37). The staff also deserves a special shoutout. They were attentive, friendly and tried their damnedest to fit everyone in the tiny store. Here's the thing. I really want to like Burger Home. I love seeing individual stores seeking to provide better, healthier and tastier alternatives to the garbage served at the large multinational fast-food chains that pollute Hong Kong's culinary landscape (I do have a soft spot for Jollibee's though), especially when they do not charge cut-throat prices. Unfortunately, restaurants must be judged by the taste of their food, and Burger Home's burgers did not taste very nice.
