Ping Peng Pong

KGB 代表 Kiwi Gourmet Burgers, 是以來自紐西蘭的老闆作為賣點. 位於師大商圈, 十分熱鬧. 用餐當天是週末的晚餐, 不到六點鐘就坐滿了. 點好餐後心裡滿是期望. KGB 經典漢堡 ($240) - 牛肉漢堡肉餡煎的適中, 不算太老. 加了培根, 卻讓漢堡的口感變硬了. 加了些許切碎的香草麵包, 吃起來有一點香味. 不過整體來說它的味道一般, 沒有令人驚喜的感覺, 除了漢堡, 可以選擇薯條或者沙拉作為配菜. 這兒的薯條像是超市賣的冷凍薯條, 就算是剛炸好, 還是吃起來鬆鬆的. 另我跟大碗公失望. 還是我先前推薦過, 位於東區微風廣場的Burger 1885值得去. KGB stands for Kiwi Gourmet Burgers, situated in a small alley around National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) or 'Shi Da'. This popular eatery was full just before 6 pm on a Saturday evening. KGB offers over 15 kinds of burger. The KGB Classic - beef patty was tender and juicy. However, the rest of the burger was just average. Another disappointment was their fries - tasted like frozen food from supermarkets. Burger 1885's (near Breeze Centre) burgers and fries are way better than KGB's.

BBQ 漢堡加起司與培根 ($220) - 內含物跟經典漢堡一樣, 只是多了BBQ醬, 可惜BBQ醬的量過多, 味道太重, 蓋過其他的食材. BBQ Burger with Cheddar Cheese and Bacon - Pity that the overpowering BBQ sauce has taken over the taste of the rest of the ingredients. 

香烤雞柳條佐西班牙薑蒜美奶滋 - 雞柳條很嫩, 單吃不會過鹹. 沾上西班牙薑蒜美奶滋, 味道不賴歐! Grilled Chicken Strips with Aiolo Sauce - chicken strips were soft and tender. The seasoning was just right. Nice to eat with our withour aiolo sauce.

Simlar to Burger 1885, KGB offers weekday specials which comes with side and drinks. 

或許是用餐前讀了網路上對KGB的評價不錯, 以致我對它的期望過高, 這一餐對KGB挺失望的. 雞柳料理的不錯, 但是漢堡就算一般而已. 薯條更是失望. 加上師大商圈有許多選擇, 以後不會想來了吧. The chicken strips were tasty but I was still disappointed with its burgers and fries. My expection was too high before I came due to high popularity on the web. Oh well, it was full on Saturday evenings so I guess KGB has already accumulated a group of supporters.
