(working title) Burger Bar, Singapore

Are you sick of mechanised, homogeneous burgers from fast food chains?

The antidote to your malaise might just be (working title) Burger Bar and their very well-designed burgers.

What impresses me most about (working title) Burger Bar is that their beef patties are ground and made daily.  Indeed, there is a certain lightness and freshness to their beef patties.  Also, they have hit upon the optimal formula of 70% meat to 30% fat for their beef patties.  I have to concede that the beef patties are optimally juicy without being too greasy and sickening.

SAMBAL WINGS $8.90

Grilled chicken wings doused in sambal sauce garnished with cucumber and a squeeze of calamansi

This starter/ snack is just amazing!  The wings are beautifully grilled and they come with an amazing char aroma.  The wings have the right amount of fat and are thoroughly flavourful.  With the acidity and brightness of the calamansi juice, they are just very well-balanced and delicious!

BACONATOR $15.90

Freshly ground 130gm beef patty, monterey jack cheese, beef bacon, caramelised onions, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, homemade garlic aioli.  An additional beef patty with cheese has been added here for $2.90

+ Beef Bacon 1.90

+ Cheese 1.00

The aroma of the bacon was just so appetizing and irresistible!

HOLY GUACAMOLE $13.90

Grilled chicken, monterey jack cheese, guacamole, red frisee, jalapeños, tortilla chips, chipotle salsa

+ Chicken Patty with Cheese 2.90

+ Beef Bacon 1.90

+ Cheese 1.00

This is a very well-designed and healthy burger.  Firstly, the chicken is grilled.  The guacamole adds healthy fats and creaminess.  The tortilla chips add crunch and texture.  Overall, I like the variety of textures in this burger. 

TOWER OF POWER $21.90

THREE Freshly ground beef patties with cheddar cheese, caramelised onions crushed tater tots, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade BBQ sauce

+ Beef Patty with Cheese 2.90

+ Beef Bacon 1.90

+ Cheese 1.00

OMG!  The king of all burgers! The burger to end all burgers!  It is so satisfying to demolish this one.

CLASSIC $12.90

Freshly ground 130gm beef patty, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, mild cheddar, dill chips, homemade tomato relish, relish mayonnaise.  An additional beef patty with cheese has been added here for $2.90

Nothing wrong here.  Classic American flavours.

THE COLONEL $12.90

Freshly battered chicken thigh, coleslaw salad, dill chips, homemade tartar sauce, relish mayonnaise

This burger is like the Zinger but better!  It is better because it is less greasy and the sweet coleslaw provides great balance to the rest of the burger.

PBJ $11.90

An irresistible duo of nutty and nice; peanut butter shake with strawberry jam and topped with whipped cream and a caramel biscuit

The milkshake was stunning.  You have the rich peanut butter flavour, topped with whipped cream and balanced by the tang of the strawberry jam.  The biscuit adds another layer of flavour and crunch to the milkshake.

TIRA, I MISS U $15.90

Espresso with Vanilla milkshake topped with tiramisu cake, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and speculoos biscuit

Another stunning milkshake.  You really get the tiramisu flavour, which I found really novel. There is a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  Finally, the crumbs add texture.

Both milkshakes are inventive milkshakes that managed to creatively translate the flavours of other food into a milkshake to capture exactly what their names convey and have complex layers of flavours.  Very well-conceived and very well-executed.
