Shake'em Buns 評價 相片

Wandering around Central one day, I spied a little burger shop with a funny name. At the time I was not that familiar with the area between Queens Road Central and Soho, and could not remember where I had seen it. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I came across it again, however this time I know where I was and suggested to FMUS that we check it out after work one night.Of course I only had to say the word "burger" and FMUS was keen. The Big Boy was flying into Hong Kong so we decided to try The Burger Shop by Shake 'em Buns before heading out to the airport to meet him. Lucky for us we were there not long after it opened as, like other burger places in Central, there is not that much space and it quickly filled up.Shake 'em Buns has been around since 1998, with the original store located in Star Street. There are more options on the Burger Shop by Shake em Buns menu than on say The Butchers Club and some interesting additions like grilled pineapple ring or chilli con carne. Aussies can also get a fried egg, but it seems they draw the line at beetroot on burgers...You can also get a salad, but in the words of Homer Simpson "you don't make friends with salad" certainly not at a burger joint!We both ordered The Burger with fries, however FMUS decided to also add some bacon, while I went for the cheese. The Burger comes with garlic mayo, onions, tomato and lettuce, which was something I preferred over the basic Butchers Club burger, and is more akin to the offerings at Burger Circus. I thought my burger was cooked well, and had enough flavour, however FMUS was not entirely sold, finding that his patty was under seasoned and slightly overcooked. The fries were crunchy, and probably just the right sized serve when combined with the burgers. FMUS's burger with the baconThe burgers are presented open style, which FMUS is not a big fan of, it's like the job is half done and you have to finish it off yourself. It can also get quite messy flipping the top half of the burger over, especially if you get it wrong!And some cheese instead for meWe also ordered a couple of milkshakes vanilla for me and salted caramel for FMUS. Wow, perhaps they should be marketed as thick shakes instead. I couldn't finish mine, it was just too much after the burger and fries. With such a little space in such a popular spot, it was no wonder people were streaming in while we were there, looking for a table then walking out. It's a good sign in notoriously fickle Hong Kong, and confirms why The Burger Shop has been around for such a long time.It's a cool little spot, for sure, but we found the tables to be quite small and once everything we'd ordered was on the table, there wasn't enough room to move. We thought the burgers were OK we were split on the presentation.... With so many other burger places to check out, we didn't think that there was enough with the Shake 'em Buns burgers to drive us back anytime soon. Small dining space, which filled up very quickly

Expensive burgers for about HKD80 to HKD100 but so worth it. Shake em Buns is a punny burger spot in Hong Kong located on the Pottinger steps in Central. The restaurant is small and not clean but it gives the whole burger eating an experience. I mean, who eats burgers in a classy way right? Time to get rowdy and messy.When I was interning in Central I would always see a line up at Shake em Buns. One day I decided that I couldn’t help myself and went to try it. The seats were crammed and everything was in front of you – the kitchen, the eaters, cash register, juice blenders and basically everything you expect to see at a restaurant crammed into a small area. The servers aren’t nice and the burgers take a good 10 – 15 minutes to make but at least we know that it is fresh! By the time I bit into my burger I didn’t care about how disrespectful the servers were.Their menu is incredibly punny with selections such as “Doggie Style hotdog”, “Gang Bang burger”, “Strip Tease mozzarella strips” and much more. Might as well get a good laugh while reading the menu and away from the horrible service.For lunch I had the Debbie Does Dallas (HKD72) burger with French fries and a soft drink. The burger had your hot and juicy patty, tomatoes, crunchy lettuce, smothered onions, cheddar cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce poured on. I added my own ketchup and mustard and this burger was Texan food porn in my mouth.

We went to Shake 'em buns at Johnston Road, Wanchai today and we were very disappointed.We ordered: Magical Mushroom South of the Border Ivana Coconut and Vanilla milkshakeFirstly, the two burgers were very disappointing the meat pattie was the worst. The meat was for some reason, very loose (I didn't know if it was really a meat pattie or mince, because it seemed more like 4 small patties being stuffed together in one burger, which caused large chunks of meat to fall out as I was eating it it was a nuisance to eat). The meat pattie didn't have a good 'beefy' taste either. The bread was also very average, it reminded me of Park n' Shop supermarket bread. The guacamole sauce in the South of the Border burger was practically tasteless and the creamy mushroom sauce and cream cheese in the Magical Mushroom burger was barely there.The milkshake was also a watery disappointment it wasn't almost thick enough and I didn't taste the coconut. Was it even there?Having been fortunate enough to travel a lot and to have tried so many different burger eateries, I have no idea what the big hype about Shake 'Em Burgers is all about, it is NOTHING at all. I'd give it a 3/10. Seriously, Triple O is better than Shake 'em buns, even McDonald's cheeseburger was better than the two I ate.I mean, just because you try to make your burgers special by tossing a whole lot of ingredients together doesn't mean that they will necessarily taste good.

24Dec2007 1449今日公司半日假，食飽之後緊係拿拿聲閃人，向東徒步，就黎左呢度，再一次大鄉里出城。

只叫了 Fire Wiener，這是熱狗加上紅腰豆及紅番椒醬，對食得辣的來講只係輕度，包皮沒有一般店鋪的厚到冇朋友，正如我之前所講，越厚越難鬆化，這裡做得剛剛好，分量剛剛好可以用單手完成任務，而家大M都玩「即整」，不過呢度早閣下十萬九千世。

食完後，又要繼續下山打發時間。

Went there with my fd earlier...We ordered Guitar Shop Special, Spicy Onion Rings and2 Berry Delight.Drinks are a bit pricey, I reckon.. while the burgers are very moneyworthy! They are juicy, meat is tender... However, the Onion Rings are a bit too salty and oily.We couldn't finish everything...
