MANILA — How do you stand out in the tightly contested burger segment?
Make it healthy… or at least healthier. This is what the owners of H.I.D. Burgers did and this decision proved to be correct since the burger joint, which started in Cainta and Antipolo, now has several branches, including one at City Golf Plaza in Pasig, which will have its official opening on Saturday.
H.I.D. Burgers uses patties made from chicken meat. Instead of coming up with a sandwich like the McChicken or KFC’s Zinger, H.I.D.’s chicken burgers try to approximate the look and taste of an all-beef patty.
“All our burgers are freshly made from 100% chicken. No extenders,” it said.
“Your burgers are also not pre-cooked so please allow several minutes of cooking time. We guarantee that our flame-grilled H.I.D. burgers are worth the wait.”
While H.I.D. burgers look like the standard hamburger, the texture gives it away since it certainly doesn’t have the bite of a beef burger.
But taste-wise, these will certainly satisfy your burger cravings with a wide array of add-ons from mushrooms and coleslaw to several kinds of cheeses; and styles like the Sicilian, Chicano and the Mediterranean.
If you’re not that strict with their diet, you can even choose to add bacon.
At the same time, if you are following a no-carb diet, you can avail of the burgers with lettuce leaves instead of the rather interesting — and tasty — pandesal bun.
But if you just got to have an all-beef burger, H.I.D. has added the Beast Mode BLT, which comes with a 200-gram patty made from beef and bacon, in addition to two strips of bacon.
To go with your burgers, customers can order Classic Potato Wedges (with salt, pepper and olive oil) or the more gourmet Cheesy Bacon Wedge Fries.
Apart from burgers, H.I.D. also has several types of hotdog sandwiches, as well as Hungarian sausage slices, which you can enjoy as pica-pica.
Also popular among regulars are the Hot Wings, which comes in six flavors ranging from mild to spicy; and the Chicken Nuggets with BBQ or garlic sauce.
For the grand opening of the City Golf Ortigas branch on Saturday, the first 100 customers starting at 2 p.m. will get free burgers on their next visit, while all deluxe burgers will be upgraded to premium for free from October 15-17.
