While we admit that burgers aren’t exactly the healthiest food choices around, nothing beats sinking your teeth into a succulent, tender burger oozing with melted cheese and stretching your mouth to the fullest in attempt to taste every single element in a mouthful.

Thankfully for us, Singapore has plenty of options when it comes to burger joints—from fancy restaurants to wallet-friendly hawker stalls, there is surely something for everyone no matter what your budget is.

Yet, for our Muslim friends, finding a burger joint may prove to be a bit of a challenge given how many of them are not Halal-certified. No matter, because here we have sussed out 4 Muslim-friendly burger joints in Singapore that are worth forgoing your diet for!

BURGERNOMICS

Situated on the second storey of Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre is Burgernomics, a Muslim-owned hawker stall that dishes out wallet-friendly, mouth-watering burgers.

The Deluxe Burger (S$6.50) has constantly been the top-seller and it features a thick, juicy beef patty with blow-torched cheddar cheese sandwiched between toasted buns that have been slathered with a dash of truffle aioli.

Most of their burgers are priced at less than S$10 and with such quality and low prices, it is no wonder that there are always long queues outside the stall.

BERGS has one of Singapore’s best and most affordable burgers around with an extensive menu where you can choose between a small (already substantially huge) and an even bigger one.

It is definitely the place to go if you are ravenous and craving for a hearty burger. With four outlets island wide, we can see why people return here for the amazing burgers.

If you like beef, go right for the classic The Berg with cheese (S$14.50, large). The juicy meat patty will grace your tastebuds with a burst of complex and palatable flavours as you bite into the burger and we promise you that you will not be able to stop munching on it.

Also have a taste of the Porto Pollo (S$11, small) if you prefer white meat. The chicken patty is done perfectly with a full cook-through, and amazingly, without being dry. The best part about this burger is the special Portuguese marination. When paired up with an accompanying Peri Peri sauce, swiss cheese and vegetables, every bite of this chicken burger is a delight.

BERGS is every burger lover’s dream. With the large portions and well-marinated meat patties, all you need is some good company and you are set for an awesome meal for sure!
