Secret Kawakawa Stash
CC
cannot cater to dietary requirements
Burger Wellington runs from 3-23 August
Kawakawa fried chicken thigh and a fermented mānuka honey and habanero glaze, with Zany Zeus halloumi, fennel and apple coleslaw, and Fix & Fogg smoke and fire aioli in an Arobake brioche bun, with fries.
The inspiration is rooted in the idea of a "culinary secret" shared between the chef and the diner. While the exterior looks like a classic, high-quality Wellington chicken burger, the true identity of the dish is concealed. By hiding the fermented Manuka honey and habanero glaze inside the crown of the bun, the flavor profile remains a mystery until the very first bite.
This creates a deliberate "Word of Mouth" moment: the sudden transition from the herbaceous, earthy notes of the kawakawa and the salty Zany Zeus halloumi to the explosive sweet-heat of the fermented glaze. It is designed to make the diner stop and immediately want to tell their companions what they just discovered.
