@harryssingapore is a Singaporean institution, and they’ve come a long way from being a jazz bar with affordable drinks to offering beautiful burgers like their limited edition Martell Bullet Pepper Wagyu Burger ($27++, I believe). What sets this bacon cheeseburger apart from its peers is its special bullet pepper sauce that’s been jazzed up with the addition of @martellofficial cognac, concocted by the new head chef of Harry’s.⠀

The dummy T H I C C wagyu beef patty is incredibly juicy, but I personally felt that the beef within was ground up too finely. The texture felt more akin to a paste that had been compressed into a patty, like a fishcake. I reckon it would benefit the burger if the beef was ground coarser, giving you the familiar chunky bite & mouthfeel of an excellent ground beef patty.⠀

Texture aside, this burger was brilliant. The bullet pepper sauce was piquantly peppery, injecting a great deal of fire into the burger. Unfortunately, due to the strong, spicy pepper flavours, the Martell that went into this thick sauce was completely overshadowed. Oddly enough, this sauce wasn’t notably salty, and most of the savouriness actually came from the two beautifully browned bacon rashers.⠀

This bullet pepper burger is definitely a sumptuous gourmet burger, and biting the bullet has never been so painless & pleasurable. Many thanks for hosting me, @harryssingapore & @burpple!
