SEOUL TRAIN

BurgerFuel is transporting your taste buds to Seoul, South Korea with their latest limited-edition burger. Seoul Train will be placing crispy Korean fried chicken, tangy kimchi (seasoned, fermented cabbage), Gochujang (Korean red chilli paste) aioli, pickled daikon and fresh bean sprouts in between two buns. By mixing up these trending ingredients and bringing them into the Kiwi sphere, this burger is set to be something refreshing for burger lovers, but will also be able to satisfy fried chicken fans and Asian flavour savourers. The Seoul Train will leave you wondering why you hadn’t tried kimchi and gochujang in a burger earlier.

KNEAD TO KNOW

Up your baking game without putting in the elbow grease. Breville’s Bakery Boss uses the same mixing action as commercial mixers, meaning none of the ingredients are left behind. The double scraper eliminates the need to stop and scrape the sides of the bowl during the mixing process and the metal gears see to it that even the thickest doughs are mixed to perfection. Breville has also just released the Bakery Boss in a new colourway, Smoked Hickory, to keep your kitchen looking stylish.
