Shaker Lakers (Yishun Park Hawker)

beef patty exceeded my expectations! its sufficiently thick yet extremely juicy. portobello mushrooms were also a nice touch and i could tell the ingredients were fresh! will definitely return here :)

Truffle mushroom pasta ($9.90) 🍝 9/10

I know this was good probably because a whole carton of cream was dumped into it but I am DEFINITELY not complaining. If you're into creamy and rich pastas like I am, this would be right down your alley!

The pasta was deliciously velvety so I appreciated the leafs of rocket salad which cut through the truffley creaminess. It even came with tartufata (truffle paste) on top. Crazy worth it for $10.

Note: don't get the carbonara because they don't use cream for that -- they crack a rather raw egg over the lukewarm pasta instead which results in a runny and lackluster sauce.

Apparently this stall in Yishun Park Hawker Centre is helmed by an ex-marche chef and their burgers come highly recommended, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Italian beef ($13.90) 🍔 7/10

Wagyu beef ($16.90) 🍔 7/10

The burgers are pretty tasty because the patties are quite thick and juicy. The Italian beef burger came with slices of salami that made it taste a bit like pizza. The wagyu beef burger, however, tasted very similar to the other regular beef and isn't worth your extra $3.

DONT top up to get wedges because their "wedges" were just undercooked slices of potatoes. Their fries, however, were very generously peppered with parmesan and were crispy enough to survive the ride home, too.

Overall, I didn't find the burgers that worth it because they come at quite a hefty price point. I did some googling and found out that their burgers used to go at $7.50 last year 😒 I'd be much more impressed if they didn't raise their prices tremendously.

The fish and chips from this stall is quite pricey but bearable considering that the piece of fish is pretty big. The batter was quite light and fluffy and the chips were chunky -- the way I like them. The tartar sauce could use more seasoning.

Honestly, there’s no other place you can find good meaty and juicy beef burger at this price point except here. 2 thumbs up.

So juicy, so flavourful, so affordable! Salivating at the photo as I’m typing.

Portions were really generous. I’m ashamed for wasting some fries as I was super stuffed.
