Who needs a nasi lemak burger when you can have this over-the-top rendang burger?

Numerous people have recommended me to try the “Redman” burger. The burgers at Three Buns are named after musicians so Redman is most probably named after the iconic rapper from the 90’s. I’m not sure why though. Probably it’s because his most famous hit was Christina Aguilera’s “Dirrty”, which would be how I’d describe your hands and mouth after eating this scrumptious burger.

The Redman does bear a heavy price tag of $28++ but a lot of tender loving care had gone into this burger. It had an authentic rendang base made with chilis, spices, toasted coconut, turmeric leaves and even gula malaka, which was cooked and simmered down for six hours. That aromatic base was then smothered over a soft and tender beef cheek which has been marinated and sous vide for 24 hours. Coconut mayo, pickled mooli (a type of radish), cucumbers, chilis and scallions were slapped on the beef to enhance both the flavour and texture of the burger. The rendang goodness was encased in a beautiful toasted coconut demi-brioche bun.
