Wagyu burger, Rockpool Bar & Grill

On a whim, without making any reservations, J and I decided to try out luck at Rockpool Bar & Grill last friday night. I've heard raving reviews about their wagyu beef hamburger and had to satisfy my curiosity.

It was everything I expected. The meat was tender and juicy, topped with cucumber, cheese, tomatoes and some sort of sauce. I loved it. Definitely one of the best burgers I've eaten. The hamburger can only be ordered at the bar & grill, NOT the restaurant. At $18 it was definitely value-for-money. We also had complimentary bread for starters. J ordered the wagyu steak along with a beer and a salad. I also ordered wine. Total damage = $75.

yeah..guess cause its wagyu. because of its high quality grade, its so expensive. And also, its in quite a classy establishment.

Initially, it sounded pricey to me as well. I guess, its because we always associate burgers with cheap/fast food. Not classy, expensive meals.
