Kesia

Brie-mium
Burger

Enter a cheese dream when you order the Brei-mium Burger at Kesia. Mild, creamy soft brie is panko-crusted and deep-fried to peak golden gooeyness, then slapped on a 125-gram brisket patty along with wild rocket and housemade gently spiced guava jam, and cosseted in a sesame-seeded brioche bun.
