When I saw the sign for this place, I just couldn't wait for it to open.
This place is going to adored by expats who miss their burgers.
The restaurant had bright decor and matching vibrant uniform.
They also have chargers for people to charge their phones.
Thanks to Caliburger and the communications team for inviting me to this event and giving us this lovely T-shirt.
At the tasting event, we could try any burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries and milkshakes.
The menu is simple at the moment, it is just burgers, sides and drinks because they are going to slowly introduce their full menu later.
If you don't feel like a meaty burger, there is a grilled cheese burger which is just cheese and salad.
Heres what we tried::

Fries:
I knew instantly I was going to like these pale dry looking fries because they are freshly cut and fried.
They taste like NYF when they first came to Hong Kong because they were done the authentic way, but the locals here do not appreciate that they are soft hence they are fried longer these days to give a crunch.
Anyway, I really liked them just how they were and I hope it remains that way.

Grilled cheese burger (Vegetarian):
The cheese burger was nice and light, but the cheese was slightly different to what I expected it to be because they have used the American orange coloured processed cheese.
It is still a good choice because the cheese burger tastes good with lettuce, tomato and the cheese.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Calichicken sandwich:
The chicken sandwich is also good because this one is minimalistic, it was just chicken and lettuce in the burger.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cali chipotle BBQ Chicken sandwich:
The BBQ chicken sandwich tasted more exciting than the above because the chipotle sauce made it more appetizing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wildstyle fries:
Basically, it was seasoned fries smothered in melted real American cheese, grilled sweet onions and their signature Cali sauce.
This was my favourite as well as the plain fries because the sauce and sweet onions gave it bursts of sweet and cheesy flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BBQ chicken wings:
Although this is labelled as BBQ wings, I felt that they looked like Buffalo wings, and the Buffalo wings below looked more like BBQ wings.
Anyway, the chicken wings were juicy smothered in delicious sweet tangy sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Buffalo wings:
The buffalo wings were quite spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I will definately be back for the fries.
