Miel Container

I saw this place after I went to Spring with C., H., and L., I was intrigued by it's bright red metallic coating and wandered across the road to investigate to the alarm of my friends. H., said it was a burger place and that it was owned by some Korean people although she had never been there. I vowed to go there again when I was feeling less full.

Of course, with my sense of direction I had no idea where the restaurant was and wasn't able to find it again for another few weeks. All I remembered was that it was on the corner of two streets, it was bright red and I had encountered it walking back to Queens Street Mall from Spring near Eagle Street Pier. I had to backtrack to find it which was fun, its right beside Peony Fusion!

Yeah, its not too hard to find hahaha

I saw this little old fashioned rotary dial telephone that they had set up to be their tipping booth. I thought it was really cute.

Red to match everything else

It's a very small eatery since its operating out of a shipping container after all! There's is not much room for tables, which themselves are quite large. There's space on the side of the shipping container to sit as well. Most of the people who were buying things here were getting them as takeaways, it was still moderately busy at 1-2pm when I went. Here is their menu.

Small!

Just like Ribs and Burgers in the Valley, they have a little metal watering can to stash all the cutlery inside!

I didn't realise this was a thing

I got the Korean BBQ bulgogi burger, a brioche bun, soft, tender, super thin and intensely caramelised bulgogi beef, mesculin lettuce, tomato, tasty cheese, spanish onion and a soy sauce and bean paste mayonnaise. It also came with a small serve of beer battered chips and a saucer of aioli that was thick, creamy and garlicky.

Oooh baby~

This has to be the among the best burger I've ever had in Brisbane. I'll take back the crown from Jude whose cheeseburger has been my favourite for the last four years, with Pawpaw's buttermilk fried chicken burger a close second. This bulgogi beef burger wins hands down one the best burger I've ever had, the beef was so amazingly soft, so intensely flavour with a charry and intensely caramelised edge. The salad was crisp, well arranged and portioned well so that I had a mouthful with each bite. The spanish onion was used sparingly so that it wasn't overwhelming and gave you onion breath. I really adore this burger, and I could marry it. Until I found a better burger that is. My only gripe is that since the bun is so soft, and its bulgogi, bits are falling absolutely everywhere.

So beautiful

Then I found it at Ben's Burgers. I rushed back to Miel Container to try their signature cheeseburger, Aussie grass fed beef pattie, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion jam, bush tomato chutney, dill mayo and tasty cheese. Its sloppy, just like the last burger and the pattie is quite dry which is disappointing to say the least. Its a very thin pattie which is probably what makes it so dry and not juicy like Ben's Burgers. Its a decent enough combination but I wouldn't go here for a simple cheeseburger.
