[CLOSED] Bergs Gourmet Burgers (Far East Square)

My first meal with mealpal and I chose the cheeseburger with fries. Verdict: 👍🏻

Super value for money since the original burger is at least $13 if I’m not wrong. The burger is a wholesome and big portion and the patty is thick and juicy, more than enough to satisfy my cravings for a good burger! The meal also came with a bag of chunky fries and their own sauce. #mealpal

Located at 3 locations, we had it at 137 Amoy St, #01-01 Far East Square, Singapore 049965. Ice Cream Sandwich🍦🍪, $7.50! A few Ice cream flavours to choose from and we wanted Peanut Butter but it was sold out, so we had Chocolate Hazenut🥜🌰 instead! These were the best dessert invention, dark chocolate biscuit was chewy, sweet and, it totally compliment the hazenut ice cream perfectly! Overall, it wasn’t too sweet for our liking and we enjoyed it! If u dine in there, they also drizzled Maple syrup on the plate too!! It’s toooo awesomely delicious and all I could say, 1 isn’t enough!! Have a great and sweet #TGIF ahead! @bergsgourmetburgers #hungryunicornsg #bergsburgers #bergsburger #icecreamsandwich #icecreamsandwiches

Came here in the evening and there was no one except me throughout the whole time I’m dining here. The burger was great but too pricey for the set like this. It costs me $20 with the burger ($12) and set meal ($6.50 comes with fries and drink).

Juicy & greasy, The Berg with Cheese ($14.50/ large) was a pretty amazing cheeseburger. And you get to choose your own cheese from 3 options: Cheddar, Swiss or Blue Cheese.

This has to be the biggest disappointment so far in my search for the great burgers in Singapore. Ordered the Bergs with cheese double patty berg sizes. With fries and lemonade, it came for $23, which is good value considering that the burger is really huge which demands respect. The combination of toppings, especially the Berg sauce gave a balance and rich flavor. Unfortunately, the patties were a letdown as they were dry and contained unacceptable level of connective tissues matters with couple the side of a corn kernel. On a positive side, the fries were absolutely delicious with thin crisp layer cover a thick fluffy heavenly core. Still that didn't salvage the bad patties, and I can't stop thinking if the patties were good juicy, this would definitely become my regular burger fix.

the first burger that i tried was from Bergs, and it came recommended by

this is how it went down:

The Experience

After seeing all the food-blogger pictures of suspiciously unmelted cheese, I really should have known better. The BFB is the stand-out burger on the Bergs menu, promising 400g of prime patty along with a truckload of condiments, and they certainly delivered on that count. When the burger touched down it had a heft to it, and peering in, the mixture of condiments seemed to have been seized off shelves in a dollar-shop closing-down sale.

There was the usual lettuomato, but also pineapple, AND beetroot, and an egg, and onions (not caramelised????), which was confusing. What was clear though was how tough and flat the patties were – two discs of seemingly unflavored meat that were charred dry at the edges. Their mistake was pressing the patty too flat, so you could say that they

“spread themselves thin”

heh. The aoli sauce was nice, the bun bland, and at the end of it all i was 20$ poorer and terribly disappointed at the first pit-stop on my SG burger quest. I honestly cannot imagine anyone eating this once, then thinking “i’d like to have it again!!”. The ingredients were o k individually, a haphazard mess together, and I can’t help but think that the poor cow died in vain.

(after getting back home and letting the burger settle, i have this to add:

– i could have gone with a smaller burger. that might have worked out better. but why have the most expensive burger on your menu be such an unpleasant eating experience?

– the staff serving us were friendly and attentive, so props to them for that.

– the ingredients weren’t stale or poorly cooked or anything of the sort. it’s just that.. you can’t save a bad cake with icing, and the patties were really really poorly done and way too flat.
