Has the McRice Burger found it's way to your neighborhood yet?
Here in the Philippines they are advertising it heavily on TV. The fine print says "Available Only In Metro Manila"
Thank goodness I am in the Subic Bay/Olongapo area so there is no way I shall be tempted to dash out and purchase this wonderful sounding sandwich!

Well,
Here in Japan we have a rice burger and it's damn fine. By another company, it features burdock root and carrot with a slice of bacon and crispy seaweed between two rice disks. Love it!

i'm trying to picture this... is the rice part of the burger like the styrofoam-texture rice cakes from the supermarket, or is this something else?

Marszit,
As for the Japan one, yeah, the disks look like the dry rice cakes but are very moist and flavourful. In between is a mixture of burdock root and carrot sauteed in sesame oil and on top, a piece of bacon and on top of that a piece of nori (dry sushi seaweed). I could eat one right now.

I have had rice bun hamburgers and chicken sandwiches in fast food places in China. Damn good. It's just meat and rice that one can pick up with your hand.

Sorry to bump this back up.
But I think that this actually sounds quite cool.
Now a few of you might hurl at the idea of a beef patty between 2 rice cakes.
But just remember that rice cakes can be flavoured with anything you like.
Sure it is different, I challenge anyone here to have a go at it.

I've had grilled rice "burgers" before and they're actually really good. They don't taste anything like a real beef burger, but then that's not the point. Grilled crunchy and smokey on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, they're just an entirely different creature. Different, fun, a surprisingly wonderful divergance.
I was introduced to them in Japan, but was also able to buy them at Whole Foods.

I am surprised folks don't put rice in their meatloafs.

I've done that with leftover wild rice. I have a wild rice side dish I make, any leftovers get frozen for the next meatloaf batch. The rustric nuttyness of wild rice really meshes in well with meatloaf, and as a leftover, it's a cheap extender.

While a rice burger sounds a little gross, I'd like to try it. I've used leftover rice as a filler in meatloaf or meatballs, so I guess it really isn't that gross.

I must say that this is "puffed rice" not the standard cooked rice.
I have a habit of buying a packet of 12 rice "tablets"
(they are about 6" in diameter), they are flavoured with sour cream and chives (onions).
I spread them with butter and add a bit of salami, I also add hot sauce.
This sort of combo, I find addictive.
