When I first stumbled into a snipped of these cute buns from Insta, I thought this is a re-creation of Domo-kun, a famous Japanese character. But surprisingly, this cute burger creation actually comes from Taiwan. Oh what? Is that a burger? I would have thought it’s some kind of dessert because the colorful cube stuff which forms the “teeth” of the burger gotta be something sweet, right? I suppose everything is possible when you are creative, just like the Taiwanese. 

 

After further research, the cute burgers are actually sold by Hello Burger, a burger joint located in Shin Kong Mitsukoshi at Xinyi, Taipei. Shin Kong Mitsukoshi is one of the shopping malls in Xinyi area and I think the easiest way to reach Shin Kong Mitsukoshi is by either taking the train to Taipei City Hall MRT or Taipei 101 MRT station and then follow the direction to go to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi (google map will help a lot). It is at level B2 of the shopping mall. You will find out you are the right place when you see the friendly burger in blue saying Hello. 

 

Hello Burger’s menu is simply a math equation. You start by choosing the bun for your burger (oh wow, bamboo charcoal bun looks interesting although it’s gonna be black) and then proceed to choose the topping based on your taste preference. If you like it salty, it will become a savory burger like fried chicken burger (110 NTD). Oh boy, fried chicken with sauce, now you’re talking. It looks pretty yummy. But I personally think that the more interesting choice is gotta be the sweet burger which is filled with ice cream cubes. All the ice cream selection costs 100 NTD and you can choose from many flavours like matcha & milk, black tea & milk, etc. I suspect Hello Burger changes their flavour every now and then so don’t be surprised if you see something funky. The last thing that you have to select is gotta be either the sauce (for salty) or jam (for ice cream).

 

Cold drinks are available too and guess what, they are not just some simply coke or fanta. You can choose either tea or soda but both cost the same at 60 NTD and it seems you gonna get the cute holder when you purchase drink too. I wonder if it’s free but I hope so.
