Captain's Burger

Here's something new around my neighborhood. A hamburger stand that tries to compete for market share along the saturated food business spot along Blumentrit between España and P.Florentino St. It's the only hamburger stand within my neighborhood.  If you wanted to check this shop, it's in front of AVON Blumentrit between España and P. Florentino.

A wise business owner who would want to setup a business will consider eating habits  for a particular set of demographics.  People at this side of the street wants their food cheap and fast. Customer's are really on the look out for much cheaper alternative snack. It's not that they want something that's a total  "knock-off",they want something cheap with the quality that is not too compromised.

 Let's see where my P10.00 burger will get me. 

Overall, there's a bit of sweetness to everything. The preparation of the pork patty is very interesting. You can see the vendor shaping a "brown mush", which is, the seasoned pork,  into a patty before it was pressed and fried over a flat stainless steel. Unfortunately, the measurement of the  pork patty is less 3 tablespoon leaving me with just 5cm thick of spam like texture. Literally, the pork patty is more like a thick ham slice than a real burger patty.

I find it impossible to taste the pork patty while eating the burger. Too much mayo and ketchup  inside the burger bun overwhelms the taste of the pork patty especially that the condiments is somewhat sweet. The bread itself is so spongy and light. Pressing the hamburger bun further makes it more like a thick tortilla.

Oh well, I just got so unfortunate that the pork patty that got in my burger is unevenly cooked (see the picture above). With so much orders coming in, the vendor is so pumped-up with her cooking that she forgot to reduce the flame of her stove. Perhaps, she thought that high heat can help reduce her cooking time.
