The Food Mole

The Burwood Hotel happened to be our next point of interest with mates.
A great local pub with a good surrounding nightlife.
The venue is conveniently located near the Train Station.
The Eating House left us with a great experience while being our first visit.
They didn't just serve standard Pub Style food, but also accommodated with some Asian Cuisine and it was executed well on both fronts.
Atmosphere is what you'd expect for a pub.
Venue is easy going until 7pm, then it gets busy.
(Would need to book if dining late on a Weekend.)
The Service was excellent.
Ordering was done through a QR code which was easy to navigate.
*UPDATE* You will need to order both Food & Drinks at the bar now, this has been updated since my recent visit.
Food was served very quickly and cooked well.
Staff were always polite throughout the night.
Pricing is Mid range for food, but High range for drinks.
Something new that we came across was their Boba Cocktails.
I only tried a few at the time (Long Island Boba Tea & Raspberry Long Island Boba Tea) which were both a great new experience.

I began the night with some Cheeseburger Spring Rolls which were great, not a single step wrong.
They were juicy and packed with flavour on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Importantly they tasted exactly like a Cheeseburger. (Sauces are recommended)

I had a Rump Steak with Fries, Salad and Mushroom Sauce as my main.
I personally have my Rump Steak Rare and it was done perfectly.
Steak was seasoned well and the texture was surprisingly soft with a great crust.
Fries were crispy and salted well.
The Salad balanced the dish overall, but I did find the dressing overpowering for a Salad.
The Mushroom Sauce was good and complemented the steak.
Overall the dish was excellent.

I also had to try the Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Don, I added Katsu Chicken and another Poached Egg as well.
The dish was amazing and most of their bowls were great.
The Chicken was juicy and cooked well with the Teriyaki Sauce.
Katsu Chicken was Crispy and still moist.
Edamame Beans, and Rice and Seaweed was standard.
Poached Eggs were cooked perfectly.

The Burwood Hotel was easily one of our great experiences and has become a new regular that we will visit more often, especially for more Boba Cocktails.
