Food trucks are very rare in Singapore. Those that immediately come to mind are The Goodburger at Coronation Plaza and Coffee Bandits which used to be at one-north (not sure where they are now).

Ye Olde Cow is the latest to enter the scene. With only three burgers on its menu (all beef) — the OG, Classic and Traditional— it’s not hard to make a choice. Make it a set (+ $7) and you get one side (fries or salad) and a beverage (iced lemon tea or lemonade).

At the time of my visit, there was a promo: order any set and you get an additional patty for free (usual price + $5). In my 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝘁 ($18.90), the burger came with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Very simple, but a combination that can’t go wrong.

The juicy patties, gooey cheese and refreshing vegetables were all plus points. What I felt could be improved were the buns (too oily) and the texture of the patties (the edges were too tough). The pricing was also a little steep, considering there’s no dining space to maintain.

The fries were surprisingly good. Terrifically crispy and simply seasoned with salt, they were absolutely amazing and definitely a cut above those run-of-the-mill fries served at fast food restaurants.

While not entirely perfect, I felt the burgers at @yeoldecow are worth a try, especially for fans of burgers.
