A lazy weekend eating burgers

Didn't go to the Good Food and Wine Show today. Woke up late and ended lazing around instead. Sent wife to the Craft, Art and Quilt show at Claremont showground and then went to city centre myself for a late lunch. Don't know why but for the last 2 days, I had a craving for burger and definitely not the McDonald's type. Went to Carillon City which have 2 food courts, one in the basement and another one on the 3rd floor. There's a Fast Eddy's outlet in the basement and had the Cop the lot burger and a chocolate milkshake. I like Fast Eddy's as it is the closest to an American style diner at Murray St and it's 24 hours. The price actually is quite reasonable and the food serving is generous. They also have another diner at Westfield Carousel at Albany Highway.

Actually I had burger yesterdayfor lunch too, that's one reason why I'm feeling kinda guilty. Too much red meat. Brought a friend to Jus Burger at Newcastle Street, Leederville. I think they have one of the best burgers in Perth and it is definitely juicy and very feeling. The onion rings ain't too bad too. I had the Wagyu beef burger and it is good. Frankly when they ask me how you want the burger to be done, you know that it's not going to be just any fast food joint's burger. The only complain is that for $14, it doesn't come with any fries. My friend had the Mullet while my wife had the Half n half. It was actually just nice for her. At $10, the burger is about half the size of their standard burgers but it comes along with a salad or chips and coleslaw. It's only offered at lunch time and it is available for beef, chicken and fish.

After picking up my wife after her show, came back and I spent my time reading and playing Fifa Online. Am currently Dragon's Wild by Robert Asprin and just found out that the author Robert Asprin passed away last year. It's a real pity as I really enjoy reading his books and if you are looking for sci-fi/fantasy plus lots of humour, you can't go far wrong with his books. The interesting thing to me is that he passed away while reading a Terry Pratchet book. I started reading his books back when I was in uni and I think I've read almost all his books as they are really hard to find in the bookshops nowadays. I'm definitely going to find time to revisit Aahz, Skeeve, Phule and the others.
