BP Chick and Spag

Filipino cuisine and American favourites come together in a delightful fusion at Burger Point. Our menu is designed to offer a unique twist on classic American burgers by infusing them with Filipino ingredients, creating a dining experience you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re a burger purist or an adventurous eater, there’s something on our menu for everyone.

The magic of our burgers lies in the details. We don’t just stack meat and cheese; we carefully select ingredients that complement each other in flavour and texture. From our signature sauces to our specially crafted buns, every element is designed to create a harmonious bite. We’re proud to offer something new while preserving the comforting essence of a traditional burger.

In this article, we’ll take you on a flavour journey. We’ll start by exploring the unique ingredients that make our Filipino-American burgers special. Next, we’ll introduce you to some of our most popular menu items, such as the Marvin Glaze and Mad Chook. We’ll also discuss why our buns are a standout component and suggest perfect pairings to enhance your meal. Get ready to discover why our burgers are not just a meal but an experience.

Unique Ingredients in Our Signature Filipino-American Burgers

One of the reasons our Filipino-American burgers stand out is the unique ingredients we use. These special touches give our burgers a distinct taste that sets them apart. For instance, you’ll find traditional Filipino elements like sweet spaghetti sauce and savoury fried chicken influencing our recipes. These ingredients bring a delightful fusion of sweet and salty flavours, making every bite a treat.

Jalapeno aioli and BP House Slaw add an extra layer of flavour and crunch to the Mad Chook burger. This combination enhances the overall eating experience, ensuring you get a burst of different textures and tastes with every bite. The Southern spiced fried chicken fillet provides a savoury and spicy profile, balanced out by the fresh, crisp slaw.

Then, there’s the Marvin Glaze. Imagine a handcrafted beef patty paired with a doughnut-glazed bun, topped with grated cheddar cheese and maple bacon bits. The sweetness from the bun and maple bacon bits perfectly complements the savoury beef patty and cheese, offering a complex flavour that’s uniquely satisfying. Our use of high-quality, carefully chosen ingredients ensures that each burger delivers a memorable taste experience.

Popular Menu Items with a Filipino Twist

At Burger Point, we’re proud of our unique menu items that bring a Filipino twist to classic American burgers. Here are a few of our standout offerings:

Marvin Glaze

Our signature Marvin Glaze burger is a sweet and savoury delight. It features a handcrafted beef patty, American cheese, and pickles, all brought together with our special burger sauce. What truly sets it apart is the doughnut-glazed bun, topped with grated cheddar cheese and maple bacon bits. The combination of sweet and salty flavours, along with the differing textures, makes this burger a must-try.

Mad Chook

This burger is a flavour explosion. The Mad Chook features a Southern spiced fried chicken fillet, topped with lettuce and BP House Slaw. It is then finished off with jalapeno aioli, adding a kick to each bite. The blend of spicy, fresh, and creamy elements ensures a balanced and exciting taste experience. This burger is a favourite for those who love a bit of spice.

Sweet Spaghetti with Fried Chicken

A dish that truly embodies the Filipino twist is our sweet spaghetti with fried chicken. The spaghetti is prepared with a sweet tomato sauce, giving it a unique flavour profile that’s different from traditional Italian spaghetti. Paired with our crispy fried chicken, this combination offers contrasting textures and flavours that complement each other beautifully. It’s a comforting and satisfying meal that highlights the fusion of Filipino and American culinary traditions.

These popular menu items showcase how we blend Filipino and American flavours to create unique and delicious meals. Each dish is carefully crafted to offer something special and leave a lasting impression.

Why Our Buns Stand Out

The right bun can elevate a burger from good to extraordinary. At Burger Point, we take pride in the variety and quality of our buns. One of our standouts is the doughnut-glazed bun used in our Marvin Glaze burger. This unique bun provides a sweet contrast to the savoury elements of the burger, creating a flavour combination that’s both surprising and delicious.

We also use classic sesame seed buns and brioche buns, known for their soft, slightly sweet nature and ability to complement a range of flavours. These buns are perfect for absorbing the juices from our handcrafted beef patties, ensuring each bite is moist and flavourful.

Texture plays a significant role too. The slight crunch from a toasted bun adds a satisfying bite that balances the creamy and juicy components of the burger. This combination of texture and flavour makes our buns an essential part of the gourmet burger experience at Burger Point. Whether it’s the sweet, soft doughnut glaze or the sturdy, flavour-absorbing brioche, our buns enhance the overall taste and enjoyment of each burger.

Perfect Pairings: Sides and Drinks to Enhance Your Meal

Pairing your burger with the right sides and drinks can elevate your meal even further. At Burger Point, we offer a variety of sides designed to complement the rich flavours of our Filipino-American burgers.

Recommended Side Dishes:

  1. Cheesy Burger Dipping Sauce: Perfect for dipping fries.
  2. Sweet Potato Fries: Their natural sweetness balances out the savoury flavours of the burger.
  3. Loaded Fries: Topped with cheese, bacon, and jalapenos, these are a hearty side.
  4. House Slaw: A fresh, tangy side that adds a crunchy texture.

Ideal Drinks to Complement the Flavours:

  1. Soda: Classic cola or lemon-lime soda pairs well with any burger.
  2. Iced Tea: Offers a refreshing counterpoint to rich, savoury flavours.
  3. Milkshakes: Vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry milkshakes add a sweet touch to your meal.
  4. Craft Beers: For those who enjoy a brew, craft beers offer a range of flavours that can pair beautifully with different burgers.

Choosing the right sides and drinks can take your burger experience to the next level. Whether you prefer the classic combo of fries and a soda or want to mix things up with loaded fries and a milkshake, we’ve got you covered.
