Burgers / Sammies

I usually stick my nose up at vegetarian options but this really blew my socks off. The portabello mushroom was incredibly juicy and the caramelised onions naturally sweet. What was especially of note was how the flavourful garlic aioli tied everything together beautifully. What a surprise hit!

You can't go wrong with deviled eggs and spam in a bagel/sandwich and this was no exception. That said, I would have hoped for the eggs to have more of an exciting flavour to them to seal the whole item together.

Doing good at the Goodburger ! If you haven't been living under a rock, you would have heard of this impossible-meat-based food truck situated on Bukit Timah Road. They specialise in plant based patties and other quality ingredients to make a vegetarian burger that contends fiercely with burgers that cows died for.

My favourite of the lot, you could've told me that it was made of real meat and I would've been none the wiser. This is so good that I've actually fooled my parents into thinking it's real meat before. The double patty gives each bite a satisfying tactile sensation.

I've always wondered why impossible patties weren't made thicker -- the co-owner explained that it's because the thicker the patty, the less realistic it tastes. However, having 2 patties circumvents this problem and adds lots of seared flavour too.

Also, this one is the burger with the Burpple beyond deal!

Coming up a close second favourite of the night, this tindle-based chicken burger provided a hearty crunch with its light batter and garlicky sauce. This was my first time having mock chicken and I was very impressed!

This aromatic dark horse didn't look like much. Given its evocative title, I was expecting more of a spicy, sour angle from this burger. Instead, what I got was a refreshing, creamy, dimension with chunks of lemongrass that really won me over! I pleaded to know what was in the sauce but the owner didn't budge 🥺

Having tried this before, I thought that the patty was a little thin compared to the buns. There's a reason for that, though, which is that the patty gets less convincing when you thicken it. That said, I really appreciated the bed of rockets that came underneath and the cheese slice on top!

Very stringy and thick, this is a no-brainer for cheese-lovers. They provided a beautiful cheese pull but make sure to eat them fast!

Honestly, these tasted exactly the same as chicken nuggets. I'm not sure if this is a compliment to the good burger (probably is) or an insult to nuggets but I certainly found myself reaching for more and more pieces of these!

This sandwich includes a large piece of fried chicken thigh and a generous helping of fluffy omelette-style eggs. Actually, the eggs, bread, and slice of cheese was actually the most charming part of the meal. The chicken was actually quite tender but wasnt too special.

Overall, I would come back for this for quick comfort food at this price -- especially for those fluffy eggs.

$26 is a pretty penny to pay for a sandwich but this was absolutely packed full of layers of flavourful tongue. Topped off with the rich gribiche and airy bread, this sandwich is a must-try here but I won't be back for this.

Everyone knows that jam-packed sandwiches are sooo fetch right now and which other joint's sandwiches have been more ubiquitous than korio's?

Ok I splurged a good dozen buckaroos on something I could make at home but was it worth it?? I'd say yes but not regularly -- only if you're having a bad day because this sammie is sure to put sunshine in your pocket.

I mean, how could you say no to that ridiculously creamy (and aesthetic) egg gribiche? Aka egg mayo, gribiche is apparently supposed to have a higher proportion of vinegar and mustard than your sando classic, and an addition of capers.

I always thought that there was only one uncharitable slice of spam in the middle of the sandwich but I was wrong. There are actually salty bursts of spam wedged all around the space between the gribiche and brioche. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess -- just like the calories in this handheld indulgence 😳

For a coffee-shop brisket, I'm gonna say this was awe-inspiring. Each strand of chewy 72-hour-slow-cooked brisket was reasonably tender and thoroughly-seasoned with barbecue sauce.

Expect a very sweet dimension to this, though. I found the sweetness a bit jarring but others loved it. I wouldn't say that I liked this more than the original burger because it wasn't as juicy nor rich but this was a strong contender.
