Hard Rock Cafe Genting Highlands has joined over 100 Hard Rock locations worldwide in launching the highly anticipated World Burger Tour 2025, a global culinary competition showcasing culturally inspired burgers created by Hard Rock chefs around the globe. Running from June 14 through August 4, this year’s tour introduces a lineup of unique, locally rooted burger creations including the all-new Sky High Burger from Genting Highlands.
Celebrating Hard Rock International’s 54th anniversary, the annual event brings together culinary innovation and cultural pride. In Genting, the Sky High Burger pays tribute to the beloved Malaysian street food icon — the burger Ramli — with a gourmet twist.
Sky High Burger features two smashed beef patties stacked high and drenched in black pepper sauce, layered with melted red cheddar, a fluffy omelette, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato slices, caramelized onions, and creamy mayo, all nestled between toasted burger buns.
“This is such a fun annual event where our team gets to flex their creativity,” said Jimmy Wong, General Manager of Hard Rock Cafe Genting Highlands. “The Sky High Burger is a tribute to Malaysia’s street food culture, served with that iconic Hard Rock flair.”
