Miel Container - Sunnybank, Brisbane

August 22, 2017

Was rather surprised when this opened in Market Square but also glad as we probably needed something non-asian from time to time. However, I'm unsure how they will handle the competition with all the neighbouring asian restaurants surrounding them. I've initially tried their branch in the CBD and enjoyed their burgers so hoping that this would be also a good experience. The one good thing was that, this branch actually have an actual seating area.

Onion Rings were hand cut in big sizes, served with miel salad and tartar dipping sauce. The tartar dipping sauce was a nice addition but felt that eating the onion rings alone had enough flavour and saltiness. The simple garden salad was topped with grated cheese and you could use the tartar dipping sauce as the salad dressing.

Chicken tender fries served with beer battered chips and chilli dipping sauce. Did not get to try this but I do have to say that the portion was quite generous with big pieces of crumbed chicken. The chilli dipping sauce was more of sweet chilli. Again, this was topped with grated parmesan cheese.

Korean BBQ Bulgogi Burger was a twist between korean bulgogi beef and a burger. It was a good idea, but only if it wasn't soggy. We quite enjoyed it to be honest however if I had to choose from their original burger, then maybe I would go for that instead.

Marinated thin slices of beef with lettuce, tomato, spanish onion, tomato, tasty cheese, garlic aioli sauce all between a brioche bun. The brioche bun always have that slight charring which makes it slightly dry and tougher than its original self but added that extra smoky flavour and taste to the whole dish. The bulgogi beef was marinated well, sweet and juicy.

The beer battered fries here are always well cooked, crispy, hot and soft on the inside. There is a tiny dollop of mayonnaise which I found slightly useless as that's basically for one swipe for a single chip.
