The Corner Grill

A bleu-tiful burger with all my favourites: a perfect medium rare beef patty slapped with Gorgonzola dolce cheese, onion marmalade, and herbed mayonnaise. A strip of crispy bacon and a hearty walnut dried fruit bun for added texture. Comes with either lemon capers or fries, but choose the capers!

Great meals at TCG! Highly recommend the following: (1) pig ears (2) pork chop (3) chargrilled lobster (4) mussels

Checked out The Corner Grill quite a while ago; a new F&B establishment that had recently opened its doors in the Ann Siang neighbourhood, specialising in grilled meats and seafood — there is also an entire section of the menu dedicated to burgers, which are also recommended by the wait staff here.

Some may think ordering a fish burger might be defeating the purpose here, considering that the beef burgers sport beef patties that are ground in-house and hand-formed by the chef himself, but it’s a rather daring and adventurous move for any establishment to serve grilled fish in their burgers considering how delicate that composition sounds. Featuring elements such as Pommery-marinated Patagonian Toothfish, Baby Roma Tomatoes, Lemony Herb Mayo in between Parmesan Buns, patrons can choose to opt for either Fries or Lemon Capers Potatoes which we went for the latter.

This was one burger that really went very well as an entire package — something that is meant to be eaten with all of the elements together instead of its separate components; for one, the Parmesan Bun was fluffy and light, yet providing a texture firm enough with a slight hint of savoury flavour that helps to ante up the slightly simpler notes of the burger. Really enjoyed the grilled fish; chunky, flaky with the moisture of the fish being locked in — nowhere dry or being too mushy, all that whilst carrying a slight earthy note from the mustard that gives the fish flavour. The mayonnaise was nothing too rich; instead, lending a light creaminess with a zippy note that provides the other elements some contrast, while the tomatoes providing a refreshing burst of flavours in between bites. The Lemon Capers Potatoes were also as delicious — smashed potatoes that are as savoury as the tang the lemon and capers provides to take off the heaviness of the starchy elements.

Must say that the burger was very well-designed and thought out; a great balance of flavours and textures for elements that seem like a rather adventurous combination altogether — guess I would have to try the beef burgers the next time when I return here to check out those beef patties!
