8. Hans Im Glück German Burgergrill
Burger joints are dime a dozen in Singapore. However, finding a good burger is a challenge. If you think that piling on expensive ingredients onto a burger is the way to go, then you’re missing out.
Hans Im Glück, the newest burger joint in Orchard, proves that sometimes less is more.
They serve up an extensive menu of burgers made with a wide variety of fresh ingredients. You can choose from beef, chicken breast, vegetable or vegan burgers.
That’s not all, you can also choose your type of bread, from Sourdough, Multigrain and Naked.
A must-try is the Wilder Westen ($16), a beef burger with aged cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, and crispy fried onions. And definitely remember to order the 1 Pfund Süsskartoffel Fritten ($6++). Literally a pound of sweet potato fries. It’s crispy, not soggy and highly addictive.
Give this burgergrill a try. You can thank us later.
