B Burger Serves Cheeseburgers With A Japanese Twist And It’s Pure Umami Magic

Fusion food has always been a hit-or-miss in the world of gastronomy.

However, this newest fast food joint has managed to perfect their recipes for Japanese-American fusion burgers.

Meet B Burger, a quaint new burger joint located at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard, serving up classic American burgers with a Japanese twist.

Picture yourself biting into a juicy, toasty burger in a backdrop of palm trees, artsy murals and neon lights juxtaposed against a wall of 80s paraphernalia. That is the B Burger experience.

Feel Good Vibes Meets Feel Good Food

If you thought you’ve had the best burger you can possibly have in your lifetime, hold that thought.

B Burger serves up classic American burgers with a Japanese twist. Picture daikon pickles replacing gherkins, or an okonomiyaki re-imagined with a bratswurst and served as a corn dog.

That’s the Osaka Corn Dog ($6.90).

The signature B Burger ($6.90 to $11.90) is a cheeseburger that features a single portion of juicy beef patty, daikon pickles, tomato, lettuce, cheese and their secret B Sauce. Double and triple patty options are also available for their burgers.

The other burger to look out for is the Bomchika Wow Wow ($9.90). Buttermilk fried chicken burger, sriracha honey (YASSS), truffle mayo, homemade wafu slaw, topped with a fried egg. If this doesn’t get you salivating, we don’t know what will.

For those seeking a vegetarian option, there’s a burger for you. Meet the Umami Burger ($7.90). A combination of buttermilk fried Portobello, melted cheddar, garnished with a sprinkling of nori flakes.

Going meat-free has never tasted so good.

B Burger didn’t forget about their sides either. Some of the interesting sides are the Nacho Soup ($3.50) and the Wafu Ramen Slaw ($3.50).

The Nacho Soup is exactly what you think it is. All of the cheese and nacho shards. Like Beer Cheese Soup, without the beer. So, really just cheese soup.

The Wafu Ramen Slaw is B Burger’s homemade coleslaw with Japanese dressing and dried ramen noodles for crunch.

Remember to eat your veggies, kids!

You can pay an additional $3.50 for a side and a drink to go with your burger for a more filling meal!

Food aside, the tropical motifs plastered on the walls of the joint really brightens up our mood. Vibrant, colourful, and cheerful.

If the food doesn’t make you smile, the decor will.

Eating here isn’t just a meal. It’s a visual and gastronomic experience.

Head down to B Burger if you’re craving for a good burger!

6 Best Places For A Customised Burger So You Can Really Have It Your Way

Have you ever pulled out a certain ingredient from your burger because you didn’t like it? Or felt disappointed because the burger didn’t match up to your expectations or was just different from the description? Well, these are legit burger woes and we identify with you. For that, we’ve found the prefect solution: our own customised burger!

Everyone has preferences and we will always want our food to be done to our liking. So, here’s a list of 6 places where we can enjoy a customised burger. Hurray to picking and choosing our own buns, vegetables (if any), meat or fish, toppings, and sauce!

1. The Burger Joint

Come try what some people call the ‘Best Burger in New York City’ in Singapore.

Tucked away at the back in Gemmill Lane, this burger joint is literally what it is: The Burger Joint.

Do it like the Americans and chug down some milkshakes while you have a taste of your very own customised burger. You’ll be able to choose the level of doneness for your patty, toppings like lettuce or pickles, and sauces like mustard or ketchup, and more!

2. Brewerkz

Unique hand-made craft beer and awesome burgers. Need we say more?

Here at Brewerkz, beer goes hand in hand with almost everything on their menu.

Try your hand at the Bistro and Brewhouse Build Your Own Burger and pair it with a beer of your choice. Choose from a variety of toppings like Blue Cheese, Sauteed Onions, Bacon or Beer Chilli to name a few for your very own customised burger.

Known for their home brewed beer, Brewerkz serves up beer that you’ll surely enjoy with your food. If you’re looking to create a spicy customised burger for example, the Iguana Lager will be splendid with it.

3. Roadhouse

Wagyu beef burger? Cue Roadhouse, a burger joint at Dempsey that you’ll be desperate to try once we tell you what’s on the menu.

Beef lovers can rejoice as Roadhouse offers premium Japanese Wagyu Beef as one of their three patty options. Non-beef eaters need not fret as Roadhouse also offers two equally good alternatives: Cajun-Spiced Chicken and Chunky Pork Belly.

There are rules when it comes to ordering at Roadhouse and that is to keep your toppings below $6. Choose from a variety like Jalapeno Peppers, Caramalised Onions, Garlic Mayonnaise and the odd Baconnaise to name a few.

Only 3 kinds of meat are offered at Burger Up and they are beef, chicken and fish. Like the meat, three types of buns are available. The joint though, offers interesting sauces. Think oriental, citrus and black pepper mayonnaise to slather on your burger.

Not keen on customising? Burger Up also serves up their own house burgers along with rice sets.

We wouldn’t suggest picky eaters to visit due to the limited choice of meat and bun types. However, if you’re a fan of simplicity then Burger Up is definitely up your street.

Price range: $6- $13 (Depending on what you order)
Website 5. Fatboy’s The Burger Bar

Head back to the days of retro dining with a modern twist.

Trust us when we say you’re going to have a hard time deciding exactly what you want because Fat Boy’s has a whopping 25 toppings and 11 sauces for you to choose from. There are 4400 possible combinations so customise away!

Not in the mood to DIY? Fret not as Fatboy’s also offers great mains. Take on the Fat Basterd which comes with 2 beef chuck patties or Maholo which comes with a bacon stuffed pork patty. Sides like Beer Battered Onion Rings and Jalapeno Poppers are also some unique offerings by the burger joint.

Price range: $30 – $50

If this joint sounds really familiar, it’s probably because it has the same name as Fatboy’s. Started by The Muttons (DJs on Class 95FM) and co-owner of Fatboy’s is The Burger Bar where only whatever you want matters.

Despite being touted as the cheaper version of Fatboy’s due to the fact that only yours and a few basic burgers are on the menu, The Burger Bar doesn’t skimp on quality. It provides the same number of toppings (25), sauces (11), and types of buns and patties you can choose from. A cheaper alternative with equally good standards? Yes please!

Ordering is absolutely fuss-free with iPads made available at the counter.

3. Employees Only (Cocktail Bar)

What?? A craft cocktail bar from New York is in Singapore?

Yes, and it’s one with unpretentious NY vibes, buzzing energy, shoulder shaking music, and mighty fine cocktail techniques (that’s what they’re famed for).

The place can get really busy but trust us, it’s worth the wait.

4. Le Binchotan

What do you get when you combine French and Japanese cuisine? Le Binchotan!

Named after the white charcoal used to smoke French-Japanese tapas, this super chic eatery dishes some of the best skewers in town.

There’ll be 10% off selected sake bottles in conjunction with the Bloc party! Now, that calls for a Kampai!

5. Burger Joint

Dubbed the best burger in NYC, Burger Joint is all about yummy burgers done to perfection!

6. Maggie Joan’s

Looking for Maggie Joan’s can be a lil tricky. It’s an underground Mediterranean restaurant located in the alleyway just off Gemmill Lane (literally a hidden gem).

Famed for their cosy ambience and gastronomical food, every dish here is so pretty that you’ll want to feed your camera first before digging in.

7. Gemmills

Gemmills has a split personality – it’s a cafe by day and a wine bar by night.

Expect a range of fresh pastries, sandwiches and coffee during the day and once the sun is down, bring the vinos out!

8. Birds of a Feather

Sichuan food can be a little intimidating. Just thinking about the flower pepper gives us chills!

But at Birds of Feather, the Sichuan-ness actually enhances the flavours of the Western cuisine served. And the ambience there will make you feel like you’re in Chengdu… well, minus the giant panda bears!

Party All Night

The event might start at 3pm, but once the sun is down (10pm onwards), step into Ding Dong as the playful restaurant space is reimagined into a retro dance floor on this day!

NYC’s Wildly Popular Burger Joint Is Here: Booze, Burgers, & More

Burger Joint is known as THE underground burger joint from New York, and their mysterious “anti-gourmet” burgers have finally reached Singapore.

Located along the hip Amoy Street, look for their neon burger sign and find your way in through the back door at Gemmill Lane. Head in and you’ll yourself in a cosy, diner-style space, with scribbles, posters, and graffiti on the walls. Feel free to leave your mark there too!

Burger Joint prides itself in offering unpretentious, all-American burgers; the complete opposite of fancy gourmet burgers. Simplicity and taste reign supreme at this burger spot, with the highlight of each paper-wrapped burger being the ingredients- juicy patties, fresh vegetables, and melted cheese.

Hate tomatoes? Like your beef rare? Customise your burger as per the instructions on the wall, add a few squirts of ketchup and mustard, and voila, you can enjoy your burger exactly the way you want it.

And don’t forget to order up some fries and a milkshake or two. Apart from typical milkshake flavours like strawberry and chocolate, you can also opt for alcoholic versions with additional shots of booze like Baileys and Amaretto.

Speaking of booze, Burger Joint has a selection of craft beers on tap as well. Their selection includes Sweden’s Omnipollo, London’s Weird Beard, California’s Heretic, and more. TGIF, anyone?

While this burger spot has gained fame in The Big Apple, online reviews on the newly opened branch in Singapore seems mixed at the moment, so we say it’s best to try Burger Joint out yourself. And if you do, let us know if you liked it!

For burger fans, this might be your next go-to spot for a good old all-American burger. And with its location along the popular Amoy Street, we’re pretty sure the hipster crowd will be checking this place out too.
