The Best Burger in the World

Who would have imagined that I would have had the best burger of my life in China!?

Yes, you heard right.  The best burger I ever had was not from Five Guys, Z Burger, or an American establishment.  It was from a little place in China’s San Li Tun district called Blue Frog or Lan Wa.  Every Monday is a “Mai yi song yi” aka Buy One Get One Free.  My friends and I took the trip to San Li Tun today and I was initially impressed with their menu:

The Montana – two onion rings, cheddar cheese, bacon, and egg on a juicy burger cooked to perfection.

The Blue Cheese – melted blue cheese, tomato, lettuce, bacon, and a hint of hot sauce

The Mushroom Swiss – Large Chinese mushrooms meet Swiss cheese, both accompanied by thick brown gravy

The Reuben – sauerkraut, 1000 Island, and lettuce on a burger

The Mexican – salsa, sour cream, and hot chili drenching a burger

And…

The Brie Boy – a burger topped with a thick slice of brie, egg, bacon, and hollandaise sauce.

I know Mum picked up on it right away…but guess which one I ordered…the Brie Boy of course!

The weird combination of everything I like on a burger was too much to pass up so I thought I would give it a try…and what a great decision!  Not only was the burger thick and juicy but the brie, egg, bacon, and hollandaise provided extra flavor uncommon to burgers.  Maybe it is the fact that I have not had a good cut of beef in about two weeks, but this burger was sensational. 

I really wish I had my camera, but if my description made your mouth water and you are craving a burger you will need to go to Beijing or Shanghai and look for a Lan Wa sign.  There you will find the Brie Boy.
