The kitchen sink special

It was a beautiful day today.  Sunny, but not too hot.  I wanted to take advantage of the nice day and get out of the office for lunch.  A few days ago, Adnan and Google Earth had helped me find a takeaway place not too far away.  It's not all residential near my work, after all!

 

It doesn't really look like much, does it.  Just a standard little row of storefronts in a lower-middle class neighborhood.  Inside, the shops are perfectly nice and have a friendly greasy-spoon atmosphere, as they should.  Next time I'll have to try the chicken place next door, and then the Savoury Bakery on the other side.

I asked the owner what the best item on the menu was.  We had some language difficulties.  I ended up ordering the house special hamburger without really understanding what it was.  The paper-wrapped parcel he handed me a few minutes later was big, heavy, and hot.  I felt like an adventurer unwrapping it to discover what it could be.  It turned out to be a beef mince patty, with Tasty cheese (a NZ favorite!), pineapple, grilled onions, tomato, sweet chili sauce (of course...another NZ favorite), and... a fried egg.
