Hard Rock Cafe Debuts Its Gold Leaf Burger

Throw in a little bling into your burger would you? Eat like a rock star at Hard Rock Cafe with the world’s first edible 24-Karat Gold Leaf Steak Burger™.  Shinny yellow sheets are laced on the patty together with the humble lettuce and tomato, giving the burger a whole new whiff of sophistication.

If you are a fan, you'd notice that there was hardly any change in the menu for years. In 2020, Hard Rock Cafes in Kuala Lumpur, Melaka and Kota Kinabalu decided to give their menu a new breath by launching the brand’s most extensive menu in the company’s history with more than 20 new offerings while letting the old items faithfully stay. Steak Burgers aren’t the only items making their debut on Hard Rock Cafe’s new menu, which also includes Instagram-worthy Milkshakes, Sliders and Shareables that adds excitement to dining.

Behind the glitz and glam, a portion of proceeds from the 24-Karat Gold Leaf Steak Burger™ will benefit the Persatuan Kebajikan Suara Kanak-kanak Malaysia (SUKA Society), a registered Non-Governmental Organisation set up to protect and to preserve the best interests of children. This philanthropic effort is through the Hard Rock Heals Foundation® and in line with their mottos “Love All - Serve All”, “Take Time to Be Kind” and “Save the Planet”.

ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK SPICY SHRIMP – This bowl of prawns sheathed in crispy batter is a pleasure to have especially to share. Tossed in a spicy sauce, topped with Green Onions & Sesame Seeds, served on a bed of Coleslaw, it will be gone in a wink of an eye if you are not quick!

COOKIES & CREAM MILKSHAKE – Haagen Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream blended with White Chocolate and Oreo Cookies, topped with Whipped Cream

Shake up your meal with some milk shake fun! The cookie crumbs in the rich beverage captured my heart in a second. No prize for guessing my favourite of the two! That whimsical feeling created by a union of ice-cream, chocolate and sprinkles had me prancing in clouds. The milkshakes appear in sprightly garnishing too. However, do know that these milkshakes can be quite filling. They are also available in a mini-milk jug.
