What is Panang curry you might ask? Well, it's actually a type of Thai red curry that boasts a nutty peanut flavour 🥜 in addition to being thick, savoury, spicy and sweet. Sounds aroi mak mak right?! 🤤 .

Over here, the Panang curry sauce is generously drizzled over not one but TWO succulent homemade beef patties which along with cheese 🧀 and fresh veggies like tomatoes, lettuce and onions is sandwiched between two jet-black buns - we were given a choice between a black sesame bun and a regular bun, and of course we chose the black buns cos black is bae! 🖤 .

Every time we sank our teeth into it, we came away with a juicy mouthful of meat that was made all the more flavourful by the delicious Panang curry sauce. You must definitely prepare to get your hands dirty with this one! 👐 .

Oh, and a huge shoutout also for Chef Pond's homemade savoury banana chips 🍌 which were served alongside the burger. Such an ingenious idea to serve these Thai style chips together with the Thai-Western fusion burger 💡 .

The fried banana chips were so thinly-sliced that it almost felt like I was lifting a feather whenever I picked one up. Their crispness was also off the charts! 📈 Though they didn't really taste like bananas, I honestly didn't mind as I loved the textural contrast between these crispy chips and the juicy burger! 💯 .

Besides this Panang Red Curry Beef Burger, @bellyphantsg is also serving up a Thai Green Curry Chicken Burger and other Thai delights at the Thai Festival which runs until 18th May at the Royal Thai Embassy from 11am to 9pm daily! 🇹🇭 .

Even if you don't manage to make it down this weekend, you don't need to have a FOMO cos you can find Bellyphant at their stall in FOMO (yep, that's the actual name of a hipster foodcourt in Bugis haha!) 🤣
