August 21st, 2005Being a gentleman of, shall we say, more fulsome figure, eating seems to have been a prominent part of my life. Travelling a lot has meant many meals in hotels. Business has resulted in even more restaurant meals. After a while, though, what Thomo really craves is simple food, the sort of stuff you’d cook at home. Be that a humble chicken sandwich or just a bowl of soup and fresh bread. Travelling can get tiring food-wise after a time. By the time you’ve got to your third Duck l’Orange or Pheasant Under Glass it is all starting to taste the same.
To counteract the Michelin Star Blues, I generally ensure that I try a cheeseburger in every country I travel to (along with the search for the perfect cappuccino of course). So far, the best I have encountered in Ulaanbaatar are at:
- California – A US style restaurant and bar on Seoul Street. The cheeseburgers here have a combination of quality (good meet, cheese and supplementary items) as well as quantity (recommendation is to start eating the cheeseburger first then come back to the chips).
- Dave’s Place – Where the beer is, of course, X-cellent. Dave does a quite reasonable cheeseburger too.
- Millies – Smaller that California’s (and also a little cheaper too for that matter), Millies’ cheeseburgers are a good lunch from time to time.
Mongolia does not have any McDonald’s, Burger Kings or the like, so there is no problem defining a good cheeseburger here.

A noble aspiration, but it deosn' match my burger everyday while on holiday in cyprus
What d'ya mean "in Cyprus" – that has been the case when you have been on holiday anywhere
Late Breaking Update – It was reported to me today that the nightclub, Strings, does a pretty mean cheeseburger. Saddle up the mules, Baagi, it is time we headed out for another burger
We will, of course, update the list if indeed the Strings Cheeseburger turns out to be as good as it is supposed to be.
Ok – there is a survey underway around Ulaanbaatar now, a sort of winter exercise, to try and rate ALL cheeseburgers in town. The results are at http://cheeseburger.coldie.net/
