Burger Most Horrid

March 4, 2009 dinglesp 19 comments

On my last day in Taipei last week I had the misfortune of eating at MOS Burger, a Japanese burger chain with odd ideas about making burgers.

Basically it’s kind of midway between Mcdonalds and sushi, fillings range from seafood to teriyaki pork (of the thinly sliced variety and the buns are made of sticky rice. It sounded good when they told me about it but I could barely finish it (cue somebody replying that this was their favourite bit about taiwan / japan).

As if that’s not bad enough one of my colleagues had one of their healthy burgers:

The burger is actually fish and the bun has been replaced with err lots of lettuce…. nice…

Thankyou MOS Burger! Never again!

Oh my word, that’s awful. You could barely finish it? I’m surprised you could start.

That top burger doesn’t look too gross to me, but it seems like it would fall apart while eating.

Dingle have you tried the Lawry’s burger? It’s prime beef rib and they replace the bun with mashed potatoes, peas and Yorkshire pudding, covered in gravy. It’s yummy.

mind over matters! i don’t think it’s any gross. don’t know why the fuss over this, dingle! you are used to conventional burgers… but MOS burgers?…ermmm fusion with a twist! they aren’t that bad, actually once you get it over in your head. and replacing buns with veges for someone on healthier lifestyle track is very common!!!!!

You know, I thought it sounded good before I tried it and the pictures on the board looked pretty good. I was losing my appetite by the time I opened the wrapper and called off the search after the first mouthful.

Woai, thanks for the tip, and where can I find this “Lawry’s” that you speak of?
Written by WoAi about 3 years ago.

Dingle it’s funny you should ask because I was just telling a friend that it’s at:

Unit 1, No. 22-23
North Block Xintiandi

Xin Tian Di near Madang Lu
Metro Line 1, Huangpi Nan Lu Station

Woai – Have you taken a second job as a bus boy at Lawrys?

Kristi – If when you say bus boy you mean Public Relations Director, then yes!

I think that Lawry’s do a lot of good work for the community. For example I hear that all of the kitchen staff are either HIV+ or lepers, and the guys in the cloakroom that look after your valuables are ex-Heroion addicts.

Jolly good for them I say!

You could do something for the Lawry’s out there then. They need help.

I mean out “here” not “there.”

They wouldn’t have him, they thought the colostomy bag would put the customers off.

You have erred at MOS Burger. The thing to get is the Spicy MOS Cheeseburger. It is amazing, and I say this as an Amerikkkaner who had his choice of burger places growing up, the MOS Spicy Cheeseburger is at least a top 10 burger for me.

Hmm, i’m actually in Taiwan right now, I’m not convinced though, you might be tricking me into something even worse!
Written by T. about 3 years ago.

I will refund your 35 NTD if you take a bite and don’t like it. But the Spicy MOS Cheeseburger is RIGHT tasty and I would choose it over anything from McDonald’s everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
Written by dinglesp about 3 years ago.

Hmmmm McDonalds… I had McDonalds for lunch today, there’s a lack of MOS Burgers round here
Written by T. about 3 years ago.

I like McDonald’s in Taiwan because if its busy you can leave your stuff on a chair to reserve your table – go order your stuff – and when you come back with your Double Cheeseburger meal, YOUR STUFF WILL STILL BE THERE.

Unlike here. In Shanghai.
