HARD Rock Cafe has kicked off its annual World Burger Tour competition to celebrate Hard Rock International’s birthday.
Hard Rock Cafe chefs from around the world were challenged to develop unique burger creations that showcase elements from their regional cultures and personal taste.
These innovative recipes will be available exclusively for guests to try until Aug 4.
The creations include Smashed Sambal Burger at Hard Rock Cafe Melaka, here on our shores.
Developed by chef Mohd Hazrin Hussin, it is made with two smashed and stacked burgers seasoned and seared medium well, with American cheese, lettuce, cucumber, egg, beef bacon and house-made sambal ikan bilis.
“This is such a fun annual event where our chef gets to flex his creativity and our guests get to try our new burger inspired by local Malaysia flavours for a limited time,” said Hard Rock Cafe Melaka general manager Dave Sidhu.
Up in the clouds, Hard Rock Cafe Genting Highlands features the Sky High Burger, a bold, juicy tribute to Malaysia’s favourite Ramli burger.
It features two smashed beef patties layered with melted red cheddar, fluffy omelette, lettuce, tomato slices and caramelised onions, drenched in black pepper sauce and mayonnaise.
This year’s competition marks an exciting first for Hard Rock, with the addition of chef, content creator and brand partner Olivia Tiedemann as mentor and judge.
Working closely with participating chefs, Tiedemann shared her culinary expertise and burger-crafting techniques to help elevate each recipe.
“Working with these talented chefs from around the world has been incredibly fun.
“Each one brought such passion and creativity to their recipes, and I’m amazed by how they have transformed classic burger concepts with their unique local influences and personal stories,” she said.
The top five burger recipes will be made available at global Hard Rock Cafe locations for fans to experience later in the summer before one final winner is selected.
