WHEN IN MANILA and craving for a good burger, you should head to Midnight Mercato Centrale at Bonifacio Global City and grab a steamed cheeseburger at Johnny Steams.

John Ongsiaco, owner of Johnny Steams, got the inspiration of steamed burgers from a burger joint in the U.S. John liked the idea and applied the same concept here in Manila. He said that slow-cooking the patty will make it dry so he had the high voltage steamer custom-made, which cooks the burgers faster, keeping it juicy and yummy.

Yankee Burger (Php 140)

Among all the mouthwatering Johnny Steams burgers, the bestseller and my personal favorite would be the Yankee Burger – oozing with peanut butter, crispy bacons and melted mozzarella cheese.

Can you believe that this Yankee Burger is only Php 140 pesos?!

We’re just as amazed!

The Breakfast Club (Php 170)

Johnny Steams’s TBC Burger is HUGE! Dubbed as “the breakfast of the champions,” you truly deserve a trophy after finishing a whole 100% premium beef patty burger with egg, bacons, ham and a good serving of melted mozzarella cheese.

Chili Cheese Burger (Php 130)

For those who love spicy foods, Johnny Steams’s Chili Cheese Burger is a must-try! The homemade chili combined with hot jalapeño peppers was a winner!

The BMM (Bacon Mushroom Melt – Php 150)

The picture of Johnny Steams’s BMM speaks volumes. This classic burger contains melted mozzarella cheese, crispy bacon strips, caramelized mushroom topped with special flowing cheese sauce.

White Truffle Cheese Fries (Php 130) | Chili Cheese Fries (Php 80)

Aside from their scrumptious burgers, Johnny Steams also boasts of their mozzarella cheesesticks and amazing fries. We were all raving about the white truffle cheese fries – it was worth every centavo!

And to relieve your thirst, I recommend having Johnny Steams’s lemon mint iced tea and refreshing lemonade – the perfect thirst quenchers for a hearty dinner.
