Singapore’s Most Outrageous Burger Creations That Are 100% Worth The Experience

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!

This vegan burger features grilled eggplant, raw dijon mustard and a selection of mushrooms layered on a bed of crisp greens. This entire chunk of healthy goodness is packed between two sesame-crusted tofu “buns”, with baked sweet potato fries on the side. For a change from your usual sinfully greasy burger, The Living Cafe’s Sesame Tofu Burger is certainly a healthy alternative!

7. Mini Chocolate Burger

First things first, this is not a burger per se. Wait, what?! A quick glance at FOC Restaurant’s deceptive Mini Chocolate Burger and you might easily mistake it for a real burger.
