At Roppongi Hills, the Halloween event "ROPPONGI HILLS HALLOWEEN 2015" will be held again this year. The period is from October 16th to 31st. During this period, a unique "Halloween-only menu" will be offered at a total of 15 restaurants and sweets shops in Roppongi Hills.


Of particular interest are the three "monster" menus . Continuing from last year, super mega-class hamburgers and pancakes will be prepared, so the eating editorial department went to check the menu at once!

◆ AS Classics Diner "Monster Burger 2015"

American diner "AS Classics Diner" that offers gourmet burgers that are particular about homemade ingredients. What is sold here is "Monster Burger 2015", which boasts a "monster-class" volume. The price is 4,860 yen (tax included, same below).


This is a Halloween-only menu with popular burgers piled up like a tower. It appeared on Halloween last year, but this year it seems that the number of stacked burgers has been increased by one to five layers. The height is as high as 35.8 cm. … A little stump!

Five types of burgers are stacked: cheeseburger, avocado burger, bacon cheeseburger, chili burger, and teriyaki burger. It seems to be the top 5 most popular in the store.


Even if you stack them, one burger is quite large and heavy, so I'm wondering how the monster burger will be completed. So, I gently visited the kitchen and took a peek at the cooking scenery!

Five buns that are plump and thick like a campagne were prepared. Cut this and bake it on an iron plate with 5 beef putties. When the buns were crispy, we layered plenty of lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and sweetly grilled onions, and the hot pate was disappointing.




In addition, we will stack the ingredients used for each of the five types of burgers. Bacon, avocado, cheese ... etc. After putting everything on, it's finally time to stack it on the plate.


Yes, it's done! done! No, it's a masterpiece. Isn't it fresh that the hamburger that was brought to you when you got to the table was at the same height as you? It's a burger tower.



In addition, freshly fried potatoes are around at the "foot" of the tower! The mouthfeel is fluffy and the tongue is thick and sticky, and you can feel the sweetness of potatoes. By the way, it seems that the amount of potatoes is about 5 times the usual amount. What a volume! It's absolutely unreasonable to be alone.


And the essential taste of burger, I would like you to check it directly with your mouth for details, but let me tell you that it is all insanely delicious (without compliment). Not only the volume but also the taste is straight and American. Pepper that comes with a sizzle, and umami soup that overflows from a tightly packed pate ... For example, it can be said that an American dad made a hamburger while BBQing. It was a taste that made me want to eat outdoors.

I especially liked the Teriyaki burger and the chili burger . Teriyaki sauce is very fragrant and smoky, with a slightly miso-like taste. On the other hand, chili sauce enjoyed the full-fledged spiciness that didn't flirt.

――So, I noticed ... This is actually cheaper than buying 5 single burgers because you can eat one burger for less than 1,000 yen by simply calculating it. So I recommend sharing it with 4-5 people. You can enjoy various flavors at a great price, and there is no doubt that everyone will be excited.

If you still can't eat it and it remains, you can wrap it for To go, so don't worry!


◆ Egg Celent "Pumpkin Monster Pancake"

"Egg Celent ", which is popular for egg dishes, will release "Pumpkin Monster Pancake", which has an impact on the appearance. This is the menu that will be released for the first time this year. The price is 2,980 yen.


Please see, the more you see this monster, the more you will become attached to it. The drooping eyes, the melting face, and the mouth (U-shaped pumpkin) that makes it difficult to judge whether you are laughing or in trouble. Even though it's a monster, doesn't it look weak? The black Tongari hat gives a little devilish feeling, but from this expression, something like the goodness of a person has already exuded.


What happens to the elements of a good monster? First of all, flat pancakes with a thickness of less than 1 cm are baked with purple potato dough. This is a whopping 15 layers (!), And there is plenty of sauce that combines pumpkin puree and coconut sauce. Furthermore, chocolate sauce is topped from above.

Also, there is a big popover on the monster's head. It's usually a hollow popover, but this time it's filled with vanilla ice cream.


You can taste potatoes, pumpkins, chocolates, and vanilla ice cream all at once. I'll eat it now!


I was looking at this with eyes that appealed to me, "Eh? Do you lie? Do you eat? Really?", But I secretly cut the back and chewed so as not to be confused.


The pancake dough has the savory taste of purple potatoes, which are well-sweetened in the soil. It has a chewy and melty texture, and it seems that you are eating but not eating. It melts moistly on your tongue and disappears. Then, if it's about 5 dan, you can eat it alone ... I don't know! (Second time)


And the pumpkin sauce is so rich that it gets super thick. The slightly bitter chocolate sauce further enhances the sweetness and fluffiness of honey. However, it's called natural sweetness, and it doesn't have any dullness. It's so delicious that I want to live while sucking this sauce with a straw all the time ...!


I also recommend the pumpkin chips that are scattered around the pancakes. You can enjoy the taste of the ingredients as they are. There is also a slight bitterness of the skin in the mild sweetness, which is irresistible as a pumpkin lover. It has a crispy texture, so you can add a little bit of chips in the middle of the pancake to accentuate the texture and enjoy it until the end.


However, the volume of monster pancakes is just right for sharing with 4 to 5 people. As expected, it would be unreasonable to eat alone. I don't get tired of the taste, so I can eat it completely, but I simply don't have enough stomach capacity.

The 15-tiered monster pancakes are only eat-in, but the "Pumpkin Spider Web" (1,500 yen), which is made up of three pancakes, can be taken out. However, since the pattern that imaged the spider web (spider web) is drawn with chocolate sauce from the top of the pumpkin sauce, the pattern may look better if you eat it on the spot!


In addition to monster burgers and monster pancakes, the Italian restaurant "Mouri Salvatore Cuomo" offers "Monster Pumpkin BIG Parfait" (2,916 yen). All of them are unintentionally uncapped, not only because of their visual impact, but also because of their commitment to taste.

By the way, on the day of Halloween on October 31st, there will be a "Halloween Parade" from Roppongi Hills Arena to Keyakizaka Dori, so why don't you dress up and participate? And if you walk a lot and get hungry, fill your stomach with the current "monster" menu!
