[Restaurant Review] Halloumi Burger at Burger King UK

The Halloumi Burger at Burger King was launched last summer in 2019 for a while to test the market.
It is now back again so I decided to try it.
There are three different versions: Single, Double and Spicy.

Again I went to Stratford's Burger King because it was cheaper.

Halloumi is a Greek Cheese that is white and very different to your regular cheese because the texture is firm with a chew.
Most Halloumi burgers I have tried have grilled Halloumi but the one at Burger King is deep fried.

The Halloumi burger at Burger King looked quite nice with mayonnaise, lettuce, onions and tomatoes.
Taking a bite, the halloumi was quite tough and chewy but tasted good with the creamy mayonnaise and onions so ordering the single halloumi was wise as two would be too much to chew on.

Overall, I liked it more than the Rebel Whopper because it just tasted weird.






[Restaurant Review] Rebel Burger at Burger King UK

I have always wanted to try the vegetarian rebel burger from Burger King since it is an international chain.
You will find that the US uses the Impossible Patty while UK serves a plant based patty by the Vegetarian Butcher.

In a way I was glad that the patty in UK was different because I have already tried the Impossible elsewhere.

Prices are different at different locations for Burger King in UK so it makes sense to try it where it is cheapest.
I don't know what the cheapest price was but I went to Stratford because it was cheaper than the two in Croydon.






Well, the rebel burger looked the part but unfortunately I was disappointed with the patty itself because it was tasteless and I didn't like the texture.

BURGER KING Tempura nuggets

Burger King is getting scarce in HK so hopefully it doesn't end up like Hardee's one day.
To be honest, the food variety is not as good as the other branches worldwide.
In Malaysia they have fried chicken on the menu.

On this visit I had the tempura nuggets.

The Pemperton branch is quite nice and there is less people.

Tempura nuggets:

They basically look like McDonald's nuggets and I can't see any difference with the Tempura batter.


As for the taste, it was very salty and the oil was not that fresh.
The sauce was similar to Mcds BBQ sauce but it had a weird aftertaste.

Burgered at Burger Deli

On my first visit, I did not try their burgers so tried them this time.

I was able to dine there because they have extended their opening hours.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet potato fries:

Wow!! Sweet potato fries in Sai Kung!!
They were sweet and savoury with a crispy crunch.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Prawn burger:


The prawn burger was quite nice because there was a fair bit of prawns in the patty mixture.
It was on a bed of juicy tomato slices and lush lettuce which complimented it nicely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian burger:

As well as that I had their vegetarian burger which is rather unique compared to other places because it does not have a vegetarian patty but a huge portobello mushroom.
It has lettuce and tomato slices drizzled with hollandaise sauce.
The burger was simple and delicious with an earthy juicy mushroom that was filling and light.

Cheesy Tots @ Burger King

BURGER KING (North Point)
I was surprised to see Burger King offering Cheesy Tots because what is sold in HK is decided by Hong Kong's Burger King's headquarters on what they think will sell.

I got a box of Cheesy Tots which has 9 bites, in the US you get 8 for USD$1.99.

They're basically tater tots with a breaded coating and some melted cheese in the middle.







The Cheesy Tots taste a bit like mac and cheese but not too cheesy.
Not very exciting and they were not hot enough.

Pomegranite & Red Berries iced tea @ burger king

BURGER KING
Went to Burger King to try out their new Fruity iced tea series.

In the range, there are Passion fruit and Mango, and Pomegranite & Red Berries.

I was here to try the pomegranite one.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pomegranite & Red Berries iced tea:

I was tempted to ask them for less syrup when they made the drink but then I decided not to bother because sometimes the drinks are pre-mixed.

Luckily when it came, they gave me the syrup separately.
I did not have to use the syrup because it was slighty sweet as they made the drink with concentrated berry cordial.
There were also strawberry seeds at the bottom.


The taste was quite nice, it had a nice berry tart taste, but it also tasted like Roselle tea.
The only disappointment was that the pomegranite and berry over powered the tea taste.

Fish burger at Burger King

Not a beef eater so did not try the Angus BOMB.
Ordered the fish burger instead.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish burger:

A whole slice of cheese is given at BK, at McDs you only get half.

The fish burger was quite nice, but the bun was not soft enough.
The fish burger coating was quite hard but the fish inside is really soft, so after you take a bite, it does not hold together well.
The taste of the burger is saltier than McD's but the fish is softer and wet.

Roasted hazelnut hot chocolate drink

Walked past and saw the soft-serve ice-cream was on promotion for $6 so went in for it.

When I was ordering it, I saw the hot chocolate so I ordered that as well.
I got the Roasted hazelnut hot chocolate drink
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ice cream:
The vanilla taste was strong and the soft serve texture was nice and airy, similar to Kashayao.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roasted hazelnut hot chocolate drink:
When I removed the lid, the smell of hazelnut was strong.
The hot chocolate was rather watery and did not taste milky at all. After finishing the drink, I realised they put real chocolate in the drink and not chocolate powder.
I tried the chocolate that was not melted and it hard pieces of hazelnut in it.
Even though it was watery, it tasted quite nice because it did not taste powdery.
