After watching a lot of tv programs featuring burgers and steaks, one cannot help but think of burger + steaks and so I tried out the cheeseburger steak of Kristin's in Goldenfield, Bacolod City. Aside from their various steak offering, they have premium meat orders: ostrich and crocs meat. If you want to try out the usual and the unusual... You can come here.

I like the contrasting sweet and pungent dizzying smell of cumin... I first tasted cumin in the yangrou (lamb) barbecue in Beijing. With this grilled porterhouse steak and with the right red wine, the New Year's Eve or Valentine's Dinner is ready to go!
