Smashed Burger

I’m convinced that there are more smashburger merchants than there are regular cheeseburger merchants in Singapore these days, but I’ll still smash the heck outta every burger I can. Meet @smashedsg_ , one of the newest folks to throw their hat in the ring that is the crowded burger market in Singapore. You may remember them from somehow managing to get an endorsement from Speed on his stream, but it was a bit of a ‘right place wrong time’ situation.⠀
⠀
Livestreamer endorsement aside, is Smashed’s House Smashed ($10 nett) any good? The short answer is yes, and the longer answer is yes, they’re a smash hit. Even though the burger is haphazardly tossed together without much care, it is a mouthwatering mess. The double smashed patties are a bit more loosely packed than most other places, and they tend to crumble into smaller bits as you bite into them. They are seasoned superbly and they boast that coveted crust from being seared hard & fast, and the patties are somewhat held together by the melted American cheese.⠀

While the beef is brilliant, what really makes this burger a smash hit are the caramelised onions and the House Sauce. The buttery, deeply sweet & savoury onions break up the monotony of the delicious cheese & meat, adding a little extra oomph to the burger. As for the House Sauce, this was the element that pushed the House Smashed into being a truly tasty burger. The Sauce is essentially a Thousand Island that got spiced up with chili, and it is creamy, savoury, slightly tangy and startlingly spicy. Matter of fact, it was spicy enough to completely distract from the natural greasiness of the smashburger, and I definitely started sweating as I munched away on the House Burger.⠀
