  • Two Blur Guys in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    I had the Prime Beef w/ Streaky Bacon Burger ($17.95) and really enjoyed the meal. The patty was pretty thick and literally dripping with juice, and while it was a bit chewy the taste and texture were very enjoyable. The cheese was good and the bacon was a nice compliment as always. The truffle mayo, however, pushed the burger from good to great! The potato salad and greens were nothing special, but the burger made up for it. The overall size of the burger is good - not huge but just nice.

  • Dimbulah Cafe & Bistro (Chijmes) in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    The Beef Burger ($18) at Dimbulah Chijmes looked promising at first - perfectly sized, all the right ingredients, and with a healthy serving of fries. Though the bacon was abundant and well cooked, the texture and taste was more fitting to go with eggs than on a burger. The cheese, grilled onions, tomatoes and greens added individual flavors yet didn't come together to make the overall burger better. The patty was fairly thin and uninspiring while the fries were thick yet equally lackluster.

  • Prive (Chijmes) in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    I ordered the Signature Burger ($27) at Prive's Chijmes outlet with high expectations, given the price and listed ingredients. The burger was small-medium in size, and the wagyu beef patty was pretty disappointing - though thick, it was a bit overcooked, slightly tough, and didn't have a distinct flavor nor juciness. The bacon was nice and crispy, however the cheese wasn't melted at all. The fries and greens were ordinary. Overall an incredibly average burger with a hard-to-justify price tag.

  • Wild Honey in The Ultimate Guide to Eggs Benedict in Singapore

    The Spanish Hash ($24) at Wild Honey is very photogenic with its unique presentation as well as ingredients. The egg was cooked well with a runny yolk, while the bread was just slightly crispy while remaining quite soft overall. The potatoes and sausage didn't have a very distinctive taste, though I was able to improve the flavor by adding a bit of sea salt. Despite its visual appeal, this dish was exactly as expected - nothing too bold or surprising taste-wise, just a solid eggs benedict.

  • db Bistro & Oyster Bar in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    I also tried the Frenchie Burger ($27) whose confit pork belly topping had a strong smokey taste and felt a bit dry in texture. The underlying beef patty was good and the ingredients were fresh, however the burger didn't feel particularly special. Though the price is very fair given the venue, I'd rather top up for the Original db Burger and get a much more unique experience.

  • db Bistro & Oyster Bar in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    On my first bite into The Original db Burger ($42) the braised beef stuffing amazed me with its fantastic flavor and texture, complimenting the huge, juicy sirloin patty very well. However, while the foie gras filling contributed a lot to the cost, it's subtlety didn't add much to the taste. The burger is perfectly sized alongside a generous serving of crispy fries, which is appreciated in an upscale joint like this. All in, I think the burger is worth the premium and I'd gladly have it again.

  • OverEasy in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    Being a huge truffle fan, I tried out the Truffle Burger ($28) and of course upgraded to truffle fries ($2). The bun was just ok, being soft and non-toasted. The sauteed onions complimented the juicy and nicely cooked patty - which had good texture and flavor - making the burger messy yet fun to eat. The burger is medium-sized, its not food coma-inducing but gets you full enough alongside the fries. Overall a good meal, but wish the burger & fries were more truffle-ly to live up to the name.

  • Berg's Burger in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    Berg's Burger has a lot of interesting options for burger fanatics, though I typically stick with the Miss Piggy (bacon cheeseburger) with fries and a lemonade ($20 NETT). The burgers are large and will fill you up, though as you can see the patties aren't necessarily thick nor juicy. Maybe its just me but something about the meat texture makes it feel a bit rubbery/stringy, but thankfully its not dry nor tough either. Nevertheless, Berg's is a decent choice to satisfy your burger craving.

  • Omakase Burger in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    Omakase Burger is undoubtedly good for a fast-food style outlet - the fresh meat, cheese, lettuce, and bacon work well together to make a distinctive and enjoyable taste, though the burger itself is definitely on the small side. However, add on the cost of fries and a drink to the base $15-20 for the burger you quickly get into gourmet burger territory at $25+ per pax. At that price point, you can get much bigger, juicier, and higher quality burgers from the likes of Suprette or Black Swan.

  • The Black Swan in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    The mood and setting in The Black Swan is very Great Gatsby-esque (aka awesome) which makes for an ironic yet befitting home for a fantastic gourmet burger. The bun and ingredients are fresh and of high quality while the meat itself is very flavorful and juicy - sink your teeth into it and you'll see why the $30++ price point is justified. The burger as a whole was greatly satisfying, though unfortunately the fries weren't anything special.

  • Suprette in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    The Suprette Burger ($20++) starts with a toasted, buttery bun which immediately grabs your attention with its unique taste. I added bacon ($3) which was thick and generously served, and came topped with a healthy dose of melted gruyere cheese. The beef patty was thick, VERY juicy, and bursting with awesome flavors. The shoestring fries were quite good as a compliment, being just slightly crispy on the outside and soft within.

    This is a definite must try for any burger lover in Singapore!

  • PS. Cafe in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    The PS Crispy Onion Burger isn't cheap at $29++. To make up for this, the burger is generously sized and comes with a HUGE portion of shoestring fries on the side (sadly, they aren't truffle fries). The meat is high quality and juicy, but I didn't get any unique taste or awesome flavors from it; the deep fried onion toppings didn't stand out either.

    Overall, this is a solid burger that will definitely satisfy your cravings but isn't quite special enough to make it into your food fantasies.

  • Paradise Dynasty (乐天皇朝) in The Best La Zi Ji (辣子鸡) in Singapore

    The spinach is an excellent compliment to help take the edge off some of the more spicier dishes.

  • Chocolate Lava Cake w/ Ice Cream in Fantastic Lava Cakes at Ngee Ann City

    I'm a massive chocolate lava cake lover with a love for desserts, so of course I had to try the chocolate lava cake at Haha Thai. The texture, temperature, and ooze-factor was perfect and the coconut ice cream complimented the flavors well. I really enjoyed that the cake was warm and soft, compared to more and more establishments that have hard exteriors and lava that is almost solid by the time it is served. A bit less sweet than the Red Velvet version, which is just nice for my tastes!

  • Tom Yum Talay (Red or Clear Soup) in 5 Awesome Flavours of Tom Yum Soup at Orchard Road

    Tried the Tom Yum Talay in red soup the other day and everyone in the group liked it. The soup isn't as spicy or sharp as some of the more hardcore options in places like the Golden Mile, which is a good thing for most people as many aren't able to fully finish or enjoy that level of spice. Can't comment on the seafood as I don't like prawns, squid, or mussels - my fault for ordering I know, but really wanted to try the red soup. Overall a good choice to start off your meal.

  • Sandwiches & Salads @ The Hangar in Great Food around Golden Mile Complex

    The Lemongrass Steak sandwich ($12, or upsize to $16 as in the photo) was much better than I expected. This is some real quality beef with seriously awesome texture, not the sliced ham or roast beef crap you get from the likes of Subway. The bread was nice and crispy too.

    The food, drinks, and especially staff at The Hangar are great. Would definitely give it 5 stars if not for the price, which seems to be a touch on the higher side (though to be fair, you're paying for quality).
