Well, this was different! But it was pretty good (and salty). The minced pork was super tasty and the salted fish pieces were a nice addition, but I think the ginger is what really made this dish.

The bacon was the best part of this burger because it was cooked perfectly. The patty was tender enough but a bit on the bland side. It could have been seasoned a bit better so thank goodness for the bbq sauce. Overall, it was ok.
