Most, if not all, of us are familiar with burgers. Think thick, juicy patties with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, generously drizzled with mayonnaise or tomato sauce, sandwiched between two toasted buns. Yum!
The classic beef burger has evolved over the years to include more irresistible combinations of ingredients and sauces. If you think you have heard it all, here are some of Singapore’s most outrageous burger creations that are 100% worth the experience!
1. Truff Ryder
Here at Three Buns, it is a burger party all day, every day. Their extensive selection of burgers will certainly require some serious decision-making!
Foie gras is typically eaten alone, given its luxury food status but the folks at Three Buns seem to think otherwise! Their Truff Ryder features a 120g pure Wagyu beef patty, 50g of pan-seared foie gras, four artisanal cheeses, as well as French summer black truffle, packed within a demi brioche bun. The flavours of these fine ingredients are further enhanced with homemade ketchup, confit onion jam and miso mayo.
Though this burger is on the slightly pricey side, where else can you enjoy both meat, foie gras AND burger all in the same meal?!

3. Crispy Fish Burger
Fish burgers are pretty standard within the burger community. This one, however, breaks the mould by having a fish fillet that is not only bigger than the burger buns, it almost puts fish & chips restaurants to shame!
The people at Grub place huge emphasis on using natural ingredients in their dishes. Thus, the fish used here is either Monkfish or Haddock, both of which are sustainable white fish. Prepare to hear the crunch as you sink your teeth into the crispy crumbed fish fillet that is paired with fresh lettuce, a slice of tomato and homemade remoulade (a type of mayonnaise).
With a cup of fries at the side, this massive fish burger will definitely make you think twice about heading to a fish & chips restaurant the next time!

4. Black Bun Lobster Burger
You may have heard of lobster rolls but have you ever come across a lobster burger? Well, Spathe Public House certainly raises the bar on lobster rolls by several notches with their Signature Black Bun Lobster Burger!
This black beauty consists of a succulent whole lobster tail, layered with sliced avocados, braised tomatoes and a crispy, golden slab of hash brown. Tucked between two squid ink buns, the only way to hold this stack of ingredients together is to pierce a butter knife through it. Moreover, it comes with a salad on the side for that extra healthy factor to this otherwise extremely indulgent burger.
