Dear reader, I like haloumi very, very much. So for tonight’s burger, I chose the Squeaky Cheese from Enuf Burger on Anzac Highway at Glenelg. The Squeaky Cheese contains crumbed haloumi, red onion, cucumber, carrot, alfalfa sprouts, baby spinach and paprika mayo, and costs $10.90.
A special feature at Enuf Burger is that you can have your choice of five different types of bun: white, wholemeal, damper, brioche (apparently a new addition?) and GF. Unfortunately, I chose the boring white bun, a safe but cowardly decision I have since regretted. Sometimes in life, it is better to take a risk.
With the combination of the ingredients and the bun, I felt like I was basically eating a salad roll with a bit of mayo on it. It was fine, but my soul was not lit on fire at any point. I actually feel like the other flavours masked the deliciousness of the haloumi, which really was great when I ate a piece on its own.
N.B. Enuf also make two other veggie burgers: the Millie Fillie and the Bubble and Squeak.
Flavour: 6/10. I confess, with apologies, that I do not really like onion. This may have contributed to the problem. I would have liked more focus on the haloumi.
Satiety: 9/10. I am very full.
Structure: 7/10. The haloumi was in about three big chunks, and fell out of the burger a few times, but was easy to put back in. The mayo held everything else together well.
Chips: 8/10. On the menu, they advertise their chips as super crunchy. While the chips were certainly crunchy-ish, I don’t think we need to throw around superlatives willy-nilly. Also, they had a bit too much salt.
Overall score: 6.5/10. This burger was fine, but I will order something else next time.
