Chicken Katsu Rice Burger

Burger = Burger Bun + Meat. Period.

That is until I went to Taiwan and walked into a Mos Burger for the first time in my life.

Mos Burger is a fast food restaurant chain originated from Japan. They serve regular burgers like other fast food restaurants. However, there is one thing that differentiates them from the others.

Rice burgers.

Yup. You heard me right. RICE burgers.

Instead of a wheat-based bun, grilled or pan fried rice patties are used instead.
