Hammee’s—a popular burger hawker stall at Commonwealth Crescent Market—took a short hiatus from selling burgers and it converted the stall to selling Nasi ayam goreng and Nasi lemak in March 2021 this year.

Fans of Hammee’ burgers will be thrilled to know that they have made a comeback on 21 October 2021.

Established in 2018, Hammee’s made a name for itself by selling quality gourmet burgers at affordable prices under S$10. Other than its signature beef cheeseburger, the fried chicken burger and fish burger are also very well received.

Here’s what you can look forward to at Hammee’s 2.0.

Made up of handmade beef patty, Hammee’s signature Beef Cheeseburger featured a beef patty which was incredibly juicy and packed with flavour. The toasted burger buns were pillowy soft and buttery, the caramelised onions gave it an extra oomph while the slice of cheese and homemade burger sauce complemented the beef patty wonderfully.

The fried chicken burger comes in 2 flavours: original and spicy. The chicken thigh was perfectly fried to a golden brown on the outside while maintaining its succulent juiciness on the inside, it was also very well-seasoned. Hammee’s has improved their fried chicken burger by using a slightly thicker chicken thigh for a better bun to meat ratio, and a punchier sauce.

Hammee’s has also tweaked the recipe for the fish burger. The entire Alaskan pollock fillet is now portioned out into shorter and more manageable strips so that the fish fillet doesn’t stick out from both sides of the bun. And instead of coating the fish fillets with the usual Japanese panko, Hammee’s made a light and crispy batter, and put their own blend of seasoning in it.

They have shared that the Nasi ayam goreng and Nasi lemak will be put on hold until further notice but they will be bringing them back again in the future.

Hammee’s has announced that it has finished restructuring the stall so as to improve their operational work flow to serve their burgers faster and more efficiently. Hopefully, this will greatly shorten the waiting time for their burger.

Wildfire Burgers—a fast casual concept which specialises in burgers and fried chicken—has opened a second outlet at 1557 Keppel Road, near to Tanjong Pagar.

The burger restaurant was first established in 2015, but it took a hiatus in mid-2019 to work on its menu, before reopening on 1 June 2020 at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) in Bras Basah.

There are several burgers on Wildfire Burgers’ menu and they are grilled to order in the INKA oven with Japanese Binchotan charcoal. The result? You get a perfectly grilled cheeseburger with black Angus beef patty which comes with American cheese and caramelised onions. Simple and delicious.

The Eggstarter, with its butter folded eggs and American cheese sandwiched in a toasted Brioche Bun, is also one of the most popular dishes at Wildfire Burgers.

Other than burgers, you can also get fried chicken, chicken nuggets, shoestring fries and Basque cheesecake.

The new outlet is located at 1557 Keppel Road near to Castlery and it will officially open its door to the public on 11 October 2021.

After months of anticipation, Five Guys is finally making its first foray into Singapore!

Hailing from the land of fast food, this American cult favourite is a fast-casual burger joint with a simple goal: selling the best quality burgers possible.

That’s quite a bold statement. Then again, Five Guys takes pride in standing out from the crowd – after all, they claim their burgers are made of the right stuff.

Starting out as a humble business venture by four (plus one) brothers, Five Guys soon became the spot to grab a freshly-grilled burger at.

The brand then took off, and the rest is history. Now boasting over 1,600 outlets worldwide, the brand has recently set its sights on Asia.

Brought in by Zouk Group, Five Guys will open its flagship local outlet in Plaza Singapura. Located next to the main atrium, the store offers both indoor and al fresco seating.

Because all its burgers are made-to-order, the patty retains its moisture, the greens stay crisp, the buns remain airy, and the cheese continues to melt.

The chunky beef patty is no doubt the highlight; oozing with meat juices and partially charred from the grill, these hand-formed patties pull away easily with each.

With up to 15 distinct toppings, whether you want a slight twist or plan to go all the way, the choice is yours.  Five Guys has all the right stuff on hand; it’s up to you to pick how much of it you want.

Handcut and made from real potatoes, these strips are fried in peanut oil until golden-brown. These snacks have a fantastic contrast: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. For something different, try their zesty Cajun seasoning!

If you’re feeling peckish while awaiting your meal, grab a handful of the complimentary roasted-in-shell peanuts for a quick snack. Addictively smoky, be careful not to fill up before your mains arrive!

Sliced butterfly-styled and freshly grilled, these hot dogs have the same smouldering saltiness as the patties. Pair them with your favourite toppings and savour with your bare hands – dripping sauces and all – for the optimal American diner experience!

For a lighter alternative, try their grilled sandwiches for an easier-on-your-belly and lower-calorie option without forgoing the brand’s signature taste and quality!

Smooth, creamy, and wonderfully saccharine. Handspun to the perfect consistency, the smoothies are an absolute slurpable delight, and the perfect accompaniments to the savoury-on-savoury profile of the mains.

Whether you’re an enthusiastic follower of Singapore’s Burger Wars or just craving a well-made burger, swing by Five Guys for a tantalising and unforgettable treat! Try to visit early; with how kiasu the foodie crowd is, that’s the only way to guarantee getting your hands on one!

Famous American fast food restaurant chain, Shake Shack is coming to Singapore in 2019! Shake Shack has officially confirmed the news on its Instagram account that it will be opening the first outlet at Jewel Changi Airport which is scheduled to open in end March 2019.

Even if you have not tried it, you would have seen pictures of their juicy burgers all over social media. And now, this New York City institution—known for its simple, yet extremely satisfying burgers, hot dogs and shakes—is expanding to Singapore shores. Isn’t this every burger lover’s wildest dreams come true?!

Since its humble beginnings as a hot dog stand in Madison Square Park, Shake Shack is currently one of the most well-known fast food chains in the world, operating 136 locations internationally.

Shake Shack Singapore will be having the same menu as Shake Shack in US and South Korea. Unlike Shake Shack Dubai which is halal certified, Shake Shack Singapore does not have a halal certification. But we are definitely hoping that they will be halal certified so that our Muslim friends will get to enjoy the burgers and shakes.

Newly opened contemporary restaurant Ash & Char sits in the heart of Singapore’s CBD. The gastro-bar—opened by the team behind Rise & Grind Coffee Co—is just a short walk away from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station and Telok Ayer MRT station.

Ash & Char derived its name from the primary cooking techniques used for its dishes. Do not let the fancy interiors put you off; the menu is actually surprisingly affordable. The scrumptious main courses here range between S$15++ to S$21++ for a scrumptious plate of Aglio Olio and Hanger Steak respectively.

The versatile venue is perfect for business luncheons, dinner dates and even after-work drinks.

The Hanger Steak (S$21++) was cooked to medium rare, but we thought the soft and chewy slices were leaning towards rare doneness instead. The 150-day grain-fed Angus steak is served with charred baby romaine lettuce, tomatoes, garlic flakes and a semi-spicy pickled jalapeño purée.

Ash & Char’s Korean Chicken Burger (S$17++) was served with crisp sweet potato fries. Succulent marinated fork-tender Korean fried chicken, in-house fermented kimchi and refreshing apple slaw are sandwiched between two fluffy sesame buns.

If you are torn between the Korean Chicken Burger and the Hanger Steak, we say go for the burger instead.

We also recommend the Bacon & Mushroom Carbonara (S$16++). Al dente penne pasta is cooked in fragrant white wine and served with aromatic mushrooms, crispy garlic flakes, streaky bacon and a sous vide egg.

Located in the vicinity of horse stables at Turf Club Road, Tin Hill Social serves as a great hang-out spot to kick back with good food and drinks. The food, in general, is pretty hearty with meats and heavier sharing items, and a selection of alcoholic beverages from wines to cocktails.

The area is split up into a few sections – an indoor and alfresco area and a standalone bar.

The spacious and relaxing vibes of Tin Hill Social makes it a very popular spot for people of all ages. When night falls, the restaurant gets pretty romantic – perfect for couples to treat themselves to some good food and drinks too. Here is what you can look out for at Tin Hill Social.

There are small and big plates available, with a good selection of sharing items for big groups. Some of these items include Hay Smoked Quail Eggs with Quinoa and Caviar (S$14) and Australian Darling Downs BMS* 6+ Wagyu Tartare (S$26.50).

The latter is a party of flavours and is served on a hollowed bone marrow. The mixture of Italian black truffle, the fresh meat, grana padano, quail egg and the dressing, makes it a delicious bite when eaten with a crisp crostini.

For mains, go right for the Tin Hill Darling Downs BMS 4+ Wagyu Brisket Burger (S$28.50). If burger is not your thing, try the Risotto (S$28). The taste of Porcini mushroom in each bite was distinct and fragrant. Mix in the half-cooked egg and egg yolk for a creamy texture.

Dining at Tin Hill Social will not be complete without a glass of wine or cocktail.

The beloved local brand, EwF, for casual burgers and fries is back at its space in Bugis Junction, this time with new burgers and fries!

EwF is known widely for their tasty yet affordable burgers, with prices as low as S$7.90. To complete a meal, you only have to top-up an additional S$2 for a serving of fries and a drink of choice. It is little wonder they’ve enjoyed popularity for as long as they have been around!

Now, EwF is back with new fries and burger options that are better than ever; think Shrimp Salsa Burger and Mexicana Fries. The other good news is the revamped EwF menu does not have any pork and lard!

From now till 31 September 2016, quote ‘Ladyironchef’ to receive a complimentary meal upsize when you order any burger or fries set at EwF Bugis Junction. In addition, there will be cone fries going for only S$1 every alternate Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the month of September!

THE FANTASTIC EWF BURGER IS GREATER NOW

As we were digging into the burger, we noticed the burger is slightly taller than before. We found out that EwF has decided to fatten up the beef patties in their signature burgers.

Yay to a bigger beef burger (S$7.90 for single patty, S$9.90 for double patty)!

HAR JEONG KAI NUGGETS

Perhaps unknown to some,EwF also serves the wicked Har Jeong Kai (prawn paste chicken) in bite-sized nuggets (S$6.90).

This deep-fried goodness is so tender and soft, with a lingering fragrance in the air and in our mouths, it makes us wonder why no one has done it before. But EwF is a genius; we are hooked to this already on the first bite.

SHRIMP SALSA BURGER

Meanwhile for the Shrimp Salsa Burger (S$7.90), we have a sea of salsa that sits atop a shrimp patty. We enjoyed the refreshing touch of salsa for it gave the burger a much-loved crunch. This burger is a relatively lighter option and with more veggies, and it is no surprise the females on our table loved it so.

CHAR-GRILLED CAJUN CHICKEN BURGER

If you are not a seafood person the Char-grilled Cajun Chicken Burger (S$7.90) is one to consider. It is built pretty similarly to the Shrimp Burger, with a chicken patty soaked with Cajun seasonings and accompanied by garlic aioli, green pesto and salsa.

SUPER CHEESY SLIDER

With all the magnificent burgers right in front of us, The Slider (S$7.90) also left us with an impression. At times when a typical burger is too big and messy to deal with, sliders come in to save our day.

The beef is well-marinated and shares its space with crispy turkey bacon and green pickles encased in a soft bun. Here comes the best part: the fillings are drenched in sticky, melty cheese.

EWF FRIES AS MAINS

Well, it is high time someone came up with this idea. Who said fries always have to be an accompaniment?

At EwF, fries are main courses too! Lunch can be a plateful of fries with Cajun Chicken on Fries (S$8.90) or Mexicana Fries (S$8,90) doused in cheese sauce. The Mexicana Fries come with fresh guacamole – which, of course, we couldn’t love more.

SUPER AWESOME EWF CHEESECAKE

EwF is also launching a dessert in conjunction with their reopening.

The Super Awesome EwF Cheesecake (S$6.50) is so soft upon slicing in, the cheesecake crumbs fall all over into a wonderful mess. The flavours are not overly intense, so this is also for non-cheese lovers! There was a slight salty note too, and it was only a matter of seconds before we devoured the creamy cake.

FREE UPSIZE

From now till 31 September 2016, simply quote ‘Ladyironchef’ to receive a complimentary meal upsize when you order any burger set at EwF in Bugis Junction.

S$1 CONE FRIES

EwF is having an amazing S$1 Cone Fries deal on 7, 13, 21 and 27 September 2016. A different flavoured cone fries will be available each week. It is a deal too good to be missed. Mark the dates down!

This post is brought to you by EwF.

New York’s cloak-and-dagger burger restaurant – Burger Joint – makes its debut in Singapore this week, with its first outlet at Amoy Street. The outlet will have a similar inconspicuous entry point, with a back entrance on Gemmill Lane instead of a flashy store front.

This follows their signature style, with their first outlet in New York City – at Le Parker Meridien – mysteriously located behind a curtain of the hotel lobby. Opening on 03 May 2016, the Singapore outlet will be their sixth outlet worldwide.

Proudly deemed as a burger restaurant without all the fluff of gourmet burgers, Burger Joint makes genuinely unpretentious burgers that have left the harshest of critics in awe.

They have been known to refer to their burgers as anti-gourmet burgers. Although there is nothing wrong with a tasty gourmet burger, the main idea of the burgers at Burger Joint is just to serve some honest and delicious burgers – maybe even the best one you will ever have.

Rest assured that everything was done to make sure that the burgers you have in Singapore will be the exact replica of what you can get in New York.

Although the official Singapore menu and prices are not released yet, it has been said that prices will be kept lower than the average prices of regular gourmet burgers, around the S$15 mark.

The opening of Burger Joint could mean big competition for many other burger restaurants in Singapore and we are all the more excited for even better burgers to hit our island.
