Here I had the best burger in my entire 21years+ of existence. It might have been the combination of a very very cold night and a very very eager stomach, but I'm telling you, nothing satisfies better than a good burger (probably bigger than the size of your face) and a handful of steaming hot chunky chips.
Fergburger was always jampacked with people - famished skiiers and snowboarders after a long day on the slopes, curious tourists drawn by the crowd, and even just plain hungry locals needing nourishment. We decided to be kiasu Malaysians and get a headstart of the queue, but when we got there around 5.30pm, there was already a line snaking outside the door. We managed to inch our way towards the counter (with some difficulty) and placed our orders.
Wanting something a bit different, I decided to go with the Sweet Bambi: Wild New Zealand deer with a thai plum chutney, lettuce, tomato, red onion and aioli. It was gorgeous!
The bun was crispy enough on the outside, buttery and soft on the inside. The sauces were not excessive, so it didn't flood the pattie and make everything soggy and messy. The meat pattie was so good! I was never a fan of deer (and with a name like Sweet Bambi, how can one not conjure images of cute prancing things with doe eyes?), but this won me over. It wasn't too thick, so it didn't feel too rich. It was just tender, sweet and flavourful. Beautiful. And I love burgers with foliage, and this certainly had enough greens for that daily recommended fibre intake.
A must-eat in Queenstown! Really good value for money, in terms of what you get in quality and portion. And pretty good customer service too, considering how many people walked in and out of that door. I'd fly down just to eat again. That's how good it is. Mmm.
haha, that's a pretty funky name for a deer burger. It's also the first time i've ever heard of a deer burger.
ReplyDeletemust have been a pretty awesome burger if the image of a prancing deer could't deter you.
wonder if they'll do a Thumper burger. Hmmm.
