Jamwon burger: double bacon cheeseburger, chips with mayo | Bas Burger

Some days you don't want a neat, tidy meal, you want a burger with a juicy patty and loads of cheese 🍔🧀 This time I visited Bas Burger Jamwon Branch (바스버거 잠원점). Looking over the menu, I ordered the Double Bacon Cheese Burger, which has two patties, and the Chili Mozza Cheese Bar I'd been curious about lately! There are also potato chips inside that you can take freely, so I could snack even before the burger came out. Here's how I found the vibe, the ordering system, the burger and the side.

How do you order and where do you sit at Bas Burger Jamwon Branch?

There's a kiosk outside the shop, so I could check the menu and order right at the entrance. Inside there were about two bar-table seats, and there's also a separate seating area outside where you can sit and eat.

Unlike eating indoors, the outside area seemed fine for anyone who worries about greasy smells sticking to their clothes. I liked being able to choose whichever way suited me 🪑

• Double Bacon Cheese Burger ₩11,900
• Chili Mozza Cheese Bar ₩3,700

Browsing the menu on the kiosk, there were so many kinds of burgers that I agonized over what to get for a good while. The sides come in several varieties too, so mixing and matching is fun. There were lots of options you can change, which made it easy to pick to my taste!

What are the self-serve potato chips with salt and mayo like?

One thing that stood out at Bas Burger Jamwon Branch is that potato chips are set out inside the shop. You can take as many as you like, which was great for a light snack while waiting for the burger. The chips were warm, and when I tried them they were really crunchy, with a great texture. Warm and crisp at the same time, they kept me reaching for more.

Next to the chips there's salt and pepper, ketchup and mustard, so you can season them your own way. I was in the mood for something a bit rich that day, so I sprinkled on salt and added a little mayonnaise. Salty chips plus the creamy flavor of mayo gave me salty + rich + nutty, and the combo was pretty good 🤤

Is the Double Bacon Cheese Burger too greasy?

Finally, the main event: the Double Bacon Cheese Burger 🍔 As the name says, it has two patties, plus two slices each of bacon and real cheddar cheese, with house sauce and ketchup added. With patties, bacon and cheese all together, I worried it might be too heavy or greasy, but when I actually ate it, it wasn't as overwhelming as I expected, and I enjoyed it to the last bite.

Above all, I liked that the bun was soft and warm. The bun's texture matters in a burger, and this one wasn't dry or tough, it chewed softly and went well with the patties 🍔 With two patties, the meat flavor came through plenty, and the salty bacon and nutty cheddar made it a familiar yet satisfying combination!!! The house sauce and ketchup kept the taste from being too monotonous. If you like a classic burger with meat and cheese, it's an easy choice.

How spicy is the Chili Mozza Cheese Bar?

This is the Chili Mozza Cheese Bar (₩3,700) I ordered as a side. I was curious about the Chili's-style cheese bars that are trending lately, so I ordered one, and it caught my eye as soon as I got it. With sauce brushed over the outside, it looked different from an ordinary cheese stick.

When I took a bite, the sauce on the outside had a definite kick. It wasn't just mildly spicy, it was a bit hot for me, and I liked how that contrasted with the nutty cheese 🧀 Inside is mozzarella, so you also get that chewy, stretchy texture.
