WOAP2015: Plum
Where? Plum Cafe (Wellington CBD, Wellington, New Zealand) Map Menu
When? Saturday August 15, 2015
Who? Dwayne
Food Style? Classic Wellington Cafe-Style
Right by the iconic Bucket Fountain on Cuba Street, you'll see the tables and chairs of the outside dining area of Plum in typical Wellington cafe fashion. I was moderately impressed by what they served last year, so when Dwayne was keen to grab a bite after badminton on Saturday, we thought Plum would be a good choice.
Burger: For Richer, For Paua
Moana Pacific paua and PrimeStar pork patty with caramelised pineapple, pickled cucumber in a Zaida's squid ink bun, with salt and vinegar chips and Kiwi onion dip
Care needs to be taken with seafood burgers - it's easy for their flavour to be lost in other ingredients. Unfortunately, that's exactly what had happened - the paua was not prominent at all, and all I could really taste was the pork. The combination of pineapple and pickled cucumber with the patty wasn't bad, and the squid ink bun is really just for the aesthetic, but this was definitely a step down from 2014's entry. I feel like they could have added something else that wasn't paua for texture, like maybe prawns. Paua is a top-tier ingredient and if it's not going to be the focus of the burger, it might as well not be in there.
For this burger, I give it a six out of ten.
