Since I relocated from New York City to Hong Kong three years ago, I’ve constantly been told that Star Street is the next up-and-coming neighborhood. Having lived in the area and worked in the vicinity, I just haven’t seen it come to pass.

I don’t know why. It’s a perfect little neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle with a street layout much like Lan Kwai Fong. Maybe it’s too far from Central or the office crowd just hangs in the hood during the week. Personally, I like that it hasn’t become another drunken carnival. One is plenty.

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of great haunts, but I’ve seen a lot of turnover, places maybe not seeing the foot traffic they were promised. Those that have found a following on the other hand have fared fairly well. I think Slim's is one of them. It has a lengthy happy hour, free peanuts, tasty pub fare, and great tunes.

It really wasn’t in my rotation, though, until they started offering $10 Slim burgers all day on Saturdays. They’re basically mini-burgers. Look at these bundles of love! They are ridiculously juicy with fresh tomato and a toasted bun. The only knock would be that slippage occurs when biting into these naughty guys. I usually go for three with a side of fries, but I'm quite confident I could eat five or six at a sitting. That’s the great thing, at $10 bucks a piece it doesn’t really matter if you leave one on the plate.

I remember when I was younger, Burger King used to occasionally offer a three pack of mini-burgers called Burger Buddies. Let’s just say they might have found some friends.
