J Cafe is a small Japanese restaurant offering sushi, rice dishes, noodles, bento boxes, salads and most famously, sushi burgers. Sushi burgers are basically two rice patties filled with various ingredients and wrapped with a rectangular sheet of nori. What I really wanted to try was the soft shell crab sushi burger, but apparently there's a worldwide shortage of soft shell crab. J Cafe only have limited quantities available every day and they'd already sold out by the time I arrived. Instead, I got an salmon aburi sushi burger,...

Today's lunch was a Moroccan Lamb burger, consisting of prime lamb patty, grilled pumpkin, roasted red capsicum, hommous and aioli. When I first received the burger I was a bit confused because there was tomato in it. Only after asking one of the staff about it, I realised it came with salad. I did discover that it was missing the pumpkin though, so I had that added in. The burger wasn't really bad, but was generally underwhelming and a tad dry.

I managed to score a free burger through the Grill'd Meatwave promotion. Out of the selection of burgers offered through the deal I picked the Simon Says, which contains grilled chicken breast, avocado, crispy trim bacon, salad, relish & herbed mayo. It was a pretty good burger; tasty and not too dry, but I have to say I still like the Baa Baa burger the best.

My choice for lunch was the warmed lamb wrap ($19). Other dishes ordered were arancini, chicken and vegetable pie, chicken burger and summer salad. The balance in this wrap was much better than the chicken wrap from yesterday. The pesto marinated lamb was tender and flavourful, going nicely with the yoghurt sauce and tabouli.
