The Counter- Custom Built Burgers

Photo post!  Only happens once in a blue moon (or when I have recovered my camera from the rubble & debris that is my room.

Ok. So this morning afternoon, I met up with the girlies to have lunch.  Originally, we were supposed to eat ramen at the best ramen place in Sydney, Ryo (Crow's Nest), however, unfortunately because I was > 1.5 hrs late, the line was already too long.  So we headed back and passed...

INDIANEST!

After a 15min (or so) walk, we arrived at The Counter, Custom Built Burgers.

The place looked sturdy... all the chairs were made out of really clangy, light metal.  When I walked in, I felt like I was walking into Charlie & Co's burger joint. It has a similar air to it.  (But honestly, I prefer this place, the restaurant is larger, you have more choice, it's in Crow's Nest... my new favourite suburb)

Then we got our forms!  Later I changed my meat from beef to turkey (by the way, I have a question... if you have issues with someone, do you "have beef" with them, or do you "have a beef" with them?  We got into quite a debate re this, and I just want to find a way to settle it once and for all. Apparently Eminem says "have a beef"...)

There are two main types of burgers- bread and no bread.  The burgers which have no bread come in a large bowl of leafy lettuce/baby greens.  Then you have your choice of meat: Chicken, Beef, Turkey, Vegetarian.  You choose your cheese, what topping you want, what type of salad and sauce (dijion balsamic!).

We ordered a side dish of sweet potato fries. Omnomnom.

 Lis' 300g turkey breadless burger with pineapple, baby greens and some hidden things...

Lucy's 300g chicken burger with egg, tomato, salad and cheddar cheese!

 Sim's 150g turkey breadless burger with .. whatever you see above there :D

 And lucky last- mine!  150g turkey breadless burger with American cheese, grilled pineapple, beetroot, tomato, cranberries in a lettuce bed with dijon balsamic sauce.

Took one bite/slice and thought, geez man, best combo of flavours & juices ever. Mmm...

All gone. Perfect meal for a perfect day with my awesome friends. A nice refreshing day breathing in clean air, being outdoors... getting away from the office scene...

The only good thing about working late is the fact that I can take photos of my client's meeting room without A) getting busted, B) feeling embarassed and C) being asked why I am doing what I am doing. 


Completely digressed from food. But oh well.  Fell asleep in the park for a good 2-3 hours today.  Woke up and took a photo.

It's so nice to be outdoors!  Have a lovely weekend guys!

PS. Found an awesome Taiwanese snackfood stall in the city. Will share in my next post!

PPS. What the hell?! I saw so many of you guys today!  First the girls, then the boys outside French Riviera, then the other girls at Ichiban Boshi, then my beloved mentoreeeee!! EXCELLENT DAY!
