By Matt Liew
Hard Rock Cafe KL was kind enough to invite us down for a little sneak peek of what to expect at this year’s World Burger Tour. Showcasing international Local Legendary™ Burgers –from the Big Little Italy Burger, inspired by New York’s finest, to the Korean Kimchi Burger, which draws its inspiration from Busan, South Korea, – the World Burger Tour will feature as limited-time menu, available June 1st – July 31st, 2016.

Throughout June and July, Hard Rock Cafe Kuala Lumpur will feature the following World Burger Tour offerings:
Big Little Italy Burger (New York, United States) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with melted Mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, pizza sauce and sautéed mushrooms
Golden Gate Burger (San Francisco, United States) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with sliced salami, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, pickles and thousand island dressing, served on a sourdough bread
Hollywood Burger (Los Angeles, United States) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with Brie cheese, caramelized shallots and garlic aioli
Korean Kimchi Burger (Busan, Korea) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with Sriracha-seasoned
kimchi, bulgogi sauce, fresh tomato, lettuce and Sriracha mayonnaise
When in Rome Burger (Rome, Italy) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with ricotta cheese, sundried tomatoes, Italian pancetta and Sriracha mayonnaise
Greek Burger (Athens, Greece) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with arugula, feta cheese and a tomato slice
Tango Salsa Burger (Buenos Aires, Argentina) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with andouille sausage, Monterey Jack cheese, chips de batata, a fried egg, salsa criolla and garlic aioli
English Breakfast Burger (London, England) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with sliced ham, a sausage patty, a fried egg, a portobello mushroom, arugula and garlic aioli, served with a side of baked beans

For the sake of streamlining the media preview, we sampled the Hollywood Burger, crafted by the chefs of Hard Rock Cafe, Los Angeles, USA.

The burger itself was fairly straightforward: a certified Angus Beef patty topped with Brie cheese, caramelized shallots, garlic aioli, and a dash of rocket. Each burger comes in a hearty, true blue American portion and is best enjoyed with an icy cold beer.

Don't forget to head down to Hard Rock Cafe KL to try a burger from their World Burger Tour and once you have, let us know which was your favourite!
