J and I got lunch from 88 Royal lunch bar (88a Royal St, East Perth) a couple of Fridays ago and ate it sitting under a tree, on a grassy hill by the water behind the shops.
She got her favourite, a chicken strip roll. Her favourite used to be the chicken schnitzel burger, which I’m quite fond of, but she now loves this instead.
I’ve been craving a hamburger for a couple of weeks now, so I had one of 88 Royal’s hamburgers with the lot. In a standard hamburger, you get the tasty homemade beef pattie, lettuce, tomato, cheese, onion and bacon, with the sauce of your choice. When you order a burger with the lot, you get an egg as well. As you can see in the photo, I asked for tomato sauce. And I got a lot of sauce. It was a very messy burger to eat. After the first big bite, my chin and the corners of my mouth were smeared with tomato sauce and gooey egg yolk. Luckily, I had a feeling this would happen, and I’d grabbed a couple of extra napkins on the way out. Boy, did I need them!

I loooove saucy burgers, complete with gooey egg yolk goodness. That must’ve hit the spot perfectly.
Egg’s and burgers are the best combination. The runnier the yolk the better, cheese as well, ketchup too!
Yum, I love a good messy burger – I’m lucky enough to live near a place that does good old fashioned burgers like that. Takes a bit of self-control not to go there too often lol!
Paula,
It was!
Mathew,
Definitely. It’s the sort of thing you can only eat around someone you’re comfortable with/not trying to impress. :)
G,
It was! They make really great burgers at this lunch bar.
Bryan,
Every time I look at Carls Jr I wish I could try a whole range of their burgers.
dea,
It was great. They ask what sauce you want, and if you want the egg soft, so you can have it just the way you want it.
kissy,
I love egg on a burger. When Jac makes burgers at home she always asks me if I want an egg in mine, and most of the time I will say yes.
juicyjuicymangoes,
Mmmm, I love lunch bar/non-fast food chain burgers. But I love fast food chain burgers too. I’m not choosy. :)
