When I talked to my Kiwi friend from Auckland (the largest city in New Zealand), she told me about the Kiwi burger. Her family's recipe for Kiwi burgers includes the usual beef patty, tomato, lettuce, cheese, onions, mustard and tomato sauce (ketchup); but it also includes a fried egg, beetroot, and pineapple inserted with the meat between two toasted sesame buns. Surprised by the combination, I was determined to try an authentic Kiwi burger. I searched online for the best burger place in town and decided to try it with my flatmate.
I was very excited to try a Kiwi burger, but the restaurant we chose did not have the burger we were searching for! However, we decided to try their burgers anyway since, according to the internet, this place is the best burger joint in the city of Wellington. My flatmate ordered a burger called "the smokey" which consisted of a beef patty, bacon, barbeque sauce, buttermilk onion strings, cheese and mayo. I ordered a standard burger consisting of a beef patty, pickles, cheese, ketchup and mayo. We also shared curly fries, and I ordered a Milo (chocolate milk and malt powder) drink.
