Famous Australian Burger

Lygon, Melbourne - Today is the end of Cisco Live 2013, by 2:30pm everyone is packing and leaving the Exhibition area.  Prior Cisco was flying this remote control craft and dropping free gifts for attendees to exchange for mugs, T-shirts, etc.


I think the next ehibition was Harley bikes as they had lovely and huge bikes parked inside the Exhibition area on display.




After thinking about eating this famous Melbourne burger for a while, we decided to walk our way to this Burger store along Lygon street.    We have to taste the burger to know why it is re-known in Australia.   The weather was hot and thus making the walk to our destination seems long.   From Elizabeth Street => Russell => finally reach the junction of Lygon Street.   Home of the RMIT University.




The Burger restaurant is called Grill'd and it is located at a quaint corner of Lygon Street.   There was queue formed in from of us and when it was our turn I ordered Moroncon Lamb Burger + 1 Pure Blonde premier beer and Lesley Simon Say (Chicken Burger) + 1 Pure Blonde Premier beer.  Add a small chips and the bill came up to AUD 43.90.  Very expensive for burgers which you can get good burgers in USA for 1/2 the price we paid.

Calesa around Intramuros

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila.  The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls.  Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spaniards in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions.   Guarding the old city is Fortaiago wich is located at the mouth of the river.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
