At long last, a burger that hits the spot in HK.We have tried pretty much all the others, Burgeroom, Shake 'em Buns, Corner Burger etc etc... They all fail to deliver on many levels.

We have tried pretty much all the others, Burgeroom, Shake 'em Buns, Corner Burger etc etc... They all fail to deliver on many levels. It was with possible disappointment in our hearts that we tried Beef & Liberty. It was unfounded as it turned out. B&L delivered a spectacular burger that was a screaming success.
We both opted for cheeseburgers cooked medium (is there any other kind of burger - I think not). We also ordered some sweet potato fries with cajun aioli.
The burgers came out and looked the business. I removed the lettuce from mine and ate it seperately, but it was crisp and fresh. The moment I bit through the soft, yet toothsome bun, through the high quality molten cheese, which had elasticity and give in equal measures and into the perfect patty, was like the world stopped for a heartbeat. THIS was the burger I have been dreaming about in HK.
In England we have Byrons burgers. My wife is American and I have been taken to some great places in the US. This is the kind of great burger you get in those places.
The bread was good. Soft enough to give way, but with enough integrity not to fall apart or turn to mush. The cheese was a good quality melter. It was biteable and chewy, but didn't pull off the patty on the first bite. The star, as it should be, was the patty. The problem with many places in HK is that they don't season the patty correctly, relying on the condiments to do the flavouring, and also that the texture is off. Here, the patty was a perfect grind (not too course, not too fine) and well seasoned. It was also cooked to perfection - no temperature errors. The burgers are served with bread and butter pickles on the side which, while good, are a little sweet for my taste - I prefer a dill pickle, but that's a personal preference.
The sweet potato fries were delicious, crunchy and soft. The centre was fluffy and light, but the outside was crispy. They tasted great, especially dipped into the Cajun aioli. I could have eaten them all day long.
The service at B&L is also very good. The staff are friendly and attentive, but leave you alone enough to enjoy your meal. I like that the bill does not automatically add a service charge, but does have the calculation for a 10, 15 or 20% tip at the bottom, so you don't need to work it out. The environment is nice - spacious and airy and the glass fronted kitchen looks clean and modern. Spotless in fact.
OK, so a cheeseburger is $100. It's worth it. Unquestionably.
