Monster Burger @ Banchetto

Remember what I said about that double quarter pounder?

That twice the beef, twice the fun shit?

Well, fuck that.

This one is the HALF POUNDER:

Which, practically, is the same as two quarter pounders. But in any case, by the looks of it, this one’s got a bit more, err, “impact” when it comes to appearance. I mean, just look at the patty for god sakes.

This burger is aptly named as a Monster Burger. It comes from Emerald Ave’s Banchetto, so you’ll only see this during the wee hours of the morning. It costs about 120 Pesos (2 dollars & a few pennies?) for a half pounder, and 70 pesos for a “regular” quarter pounder. Believe me, when it comes to price, I guess this burger beats other burgers of its kind. I mean, for a 120 Pesos, you’d already be getting more than your daily protein requirements. The only downside is that it’s only available at 1am onwards. But if you’re a call center agent, then this won’t be much of a problem.

Alright, let’s talk about the burger itself. Well, to re-emphasize things, the patty itself is half-a-freakin-pound, so that’s like eating 550 calories of beef. But who gives a fuck? Anyway, the patties are grilled twice (first using an electric grill, then charcoal). Then, they sprinkle the patties with some garlic powder, salt and pepper. You can tell the cook if you want yours to be medium-rare, well-done, or half-dead. Either way, it’ll taste good.

After grilling, they’d assemble your burger by adding lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. If you want, you can add cheese, blue cheese, or even wasabi mayo. It says so here:

And there you have it, your personal Monster Burger. You’d have to wait for a bit coz they only cook your burger once you order it. But that’s alright, there are plenty of other stalls you can visit (since it’s Banchetto after all).

Oh, I almost forgot, the verdict. Well, for a hundred and twenty pesos, the Monster Burger is a sweet deal. It’s big and it tastes good. Beefy, really, really absolutely beefy. Not like other burger joints that have got brown pre-cooked patties, you could see that the ground beef that Monster Burger uses are pink in color, which is a sign of freshness. So thumbs up to that. The only downside is that this burger is only available every Saturday from 1am to 11am, so unless you work on night-shift, then this wouldn’t be much of a fuss.

So if you’re still awake, and are having the munchies, you can try the Monster Burger. You won’t be disappointed.
