After reading multiple reviews of BLT Burger on Openrice, we decided to eat there since we were shopping around in the area. When we first approached the restaurant, there was a substancial wait line (at around 6:00pm!). We weren't particularly surprised, since it was a Saturday and it was during Chinese New Year. We were, however, surprised at the short wait time and we were quickly seated.When we were seated, we noticed that our table was quite close to the other guests'. We could clearly
When we were seated, we noticed that our table was quite close to the other guests'. We could clearly hear them and there wasn't that much privacy. This setback was saved by the fact that our waiter was kind and courteous. We ordered a BLT burger set (for $158) that included a soft drink and skinny fries. We were blindsided, however, by the extra slice of cheese that cost a whopping $8 that came up in the bill... We also ordered the Chilli Bowl with Cornbread ($68).
Taste-wise, BLT Burger lives up to its name. The BLT Burger was cooked Medium (perfect), and was a delightful combination of toasty bun, moist quality beef patty and fresh crunch vegetables. The crunchy, salty bacon was the icing on the burger cake as it provided both flavor and texture. At first bite, the burger seemed lackluster and I felt the urge to add more salt and pepper, but the bacon slices compensated for the burger's insufficient seasoning. The burger came with a basic coleslaw and some skinny fries. The coleslaw was average; nothing special. The fries, however, were the biggest let-down of the night. There were three choices of fries; thick cut, skinny or waffle. We chose skinny, but were sadly disappointed. The fries were slightly overcooked and lacked the soft, fluffy potato centre that most skinny fries have. They were hard and brittle, similar to wooden twigs. I cringe to admit it, but McDonalds' fries seemed more appealing to us at that point, rather than the BLT Burger fries! A sad letdown.
We also had the Chilli Bowl with Cornbread. Since we were a bit hungry, we decided to order a small meal instead of another large burger. This was my first time eating cornbread, unlike my boyfriend. The chilli was tasteful but spicy. I would take a bite and taste the wonderful flavors.... but 3 seconds later, the spicy japaleno peppers would bite my tongue. Luckily, I had the sweet cornbread and sour cream to soothe my tastebuds. For a first time, the cornbread was pleasant. It was a vibrant yellow and was sweet, light and perfectly crumbly. While eating the chilli, I felt as if the chilli was a garnish on my yellow cornbread cake. The two foods truly complimented each other and the zingy spice of the chilli tantilized my tastebuds! Excellent Luckily for us, there was a thoughtful waiter who noticed us panting with heat and offered us glasses of cold water. You just don't get service like that anymore in Hong Kong!
If you're looking for a good value burger, then BLT is the place to go. Although it might be far in Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, it is well worth the trip. Overall, it was a great dining experience and we'll definitely be going again in the near future.
4.5 stars out of 5, BLT!
