Shroom Shroom! Portabello mushroom burger @ Freshness Burger

Portabello mushrooms are rare here, so when I saw pictures of it I just had to get it.

As with all burgers at Freshness, all the salad vegetables are too big and chunky, they make up for at least two thirds of the burger.

I think if the onion had been finely diced, it would have tasted much better as a whole, also the tomato was cut too thickly too.

Anyway I removed the tomato, onion, and lettuce and just had the mushroom sandwiched between the burger.

The mushroom was skilfully grilled in that it wasn’t dripping with oil or juices when served.
Although it wasn’t dripping, it was still very juicy at consumption.
The balsamic vinegar and mayonnaise complimented it very well too. The texture of the mushroom was meaty and earthy.

The last time I had a Portobello mushroom was at the burger joint in sheung wan, it was awful, it had been soaked in vinegar.

It is good that they have a vegetarian range too, the tofu burger and mushroom burger both taste nice.
The burger was 90% similar to its product shot, however there was extra mayonnaise, the tofu burger was a bit different to its product shot.
