Happy to have discovered Beef & Liberty, an ideal place to satiate my burger cravings. They use beef from Tasmania reared on a natural diet of grass (never given hormones or antibiotics), grinded daily at the restaurant. So far I’ve tried four of their burgers – Chilli, Bacon Cheese, BBQ Pulled Pork, and Falafel – all good, though the Bacon Cheese and BBQ Pulled Pork definitely were my preferred. Details below.
First, the drinks. Lemonade (30 RMB) for something light, milkshakes (55 RMB) and spiked shakes (75 RMB), for something heavy.
First burger, Chili (89 RMB): beef, jalapeno slices, caramelized onion, cheddar cheese, butter lettuce, harissa yogurt. The beef patty is grilled to a lovely pink and juicy medium, sandwiched between toasted golden buns – very nice.
The second, Bacon Cheese (95 RMB): beef, smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, pickles, bacon jam. As above.
Next up, BBQ Pulled Pork (92 RMB): braised pork jowl, green apple slaw, house BBQ sauce. Loved everything about this one – the pork, the sauce, the slaw – just perfect.
Lastly, Falafel (68 RMB): falafel, sesame sauce, butter lettuce, tomato, harissa yogurt. Good texture, though a little on the bland side for me.
That’s it for now. Don’t think it will be long before I go back for another beef burger or the BBQ pulled pork…
