Jthejon food adventure begin!!
I'll be hunting for good burger around SG for this entry.
First stop, Fatboy's Burger Bar.
Fatboy's burger bar was opened by 2 talented brothers, Kennie and Bernie Tay. The first outlet was opened at upper thomson road on 25th September 2009. Fatboy's burger bar provides a casual and laid back atmosphere for diners of all ages to dine in tune to sixties oldies providing a picture of the forgotten malt and soda shops of old. The 45-seater restaurant has a mix of old school benches and modern high tables to complete it's casual look.
Mojoburps has the concept of local coffeeshop in the day and a hipster bar at night. By now. Boosting over 170 craft beers and ciders, there were too much to put down on the menu and typically you are supposed to go to the fridge area and choose what you want.

Wimpy (beef) $14.50, available in pork or lamb patty too.
Beef chuck patty. Chewy bacon. Cheddar cheese. A fried egg. BBQ Sauce.
Beef patty was fresh, tender and juicy. The bun, with black and white sesame was very fluffy, light, soft, and grilled till there were crisp edges.
Bleu Peppercorn $12.50,
Beef patty. Crushed black pepper. A crispy onion ring. Blue cheese.
Similar to wimpy burger. The black pepper was too peppery, and it cover up the rest of the ingredients. The blue cheese never really enhance the taste of the burger too.
Hoegaarden $14.50
A huge pint of draft beer.

Additionally, Fatboy's also feature a build-your-own-burger menu where you can choose how you want your burger. Choose from a wide array of buns, patties, add-ons and sauces to create your very own gourmet burger.
Second stop, Omakase Burger.
Omakase Burger, which has received highly positive reviews since it opened two years ago at the grandstand. I am finding out if the burger is really the best burger in Singapore, as reviewed by many publications.
Banker-turned-entrepreneur Cheng Hsin Yao brought his take on American-style burgers with juicy USDA premium blend handmade beef patties in pillow soft buns that unfortunately did not absorb the meat juice too well.

Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice $4.80,
Freshly made with no added sugar! Healthy & delicious!
Home-made Lemonade $4.60,
Made in-store daily with own blend of lemons, limes & secret ingredients.
The most refreshing drink you’ll try today
Omakase Cheeseburger $14.90,
Hand-ground beef patty, toasted artisanal bun, melted American cheese,
lettuce, tomato and secret Omakase sauce
One bite into the tender bun and beef patty will send juices from the sauce running down your lips and onto your plate, so do remember to prepare lots of serviettes before eating.
Truffle Fries,
Tossed in our white & black truffle blend, with grated Italian Black Summer Truffles.
Just an average truffle fries.
Sweet Potato Fries $5.20,
High in Vitamins A & C, and fiber. And they taste amazing too!
Quite disappointed.

It’s definitely one of the best burgers I’ve had. Price-wise, it definitely hurt, considering I had the large fries as well, this went over 20 bucks. But it definitely worth it.
Third Stop, Mojo Burps.
Mojoburps has the concept of local coffeeshop in the day and a hipster bar at night. By now. Boosting over 170 craft beers and ciders, there were too much to put down on the menu and typically you are supposed to go to the fridge area and choose what you want.

Herrljunga Cider $10,
Strawberry & Vanilla Cider, 4.0% Alcohol.
Sweden No.1 Cider, tasted sweet and fruity. Alcohol taste not strong. Suitable for those who don't drink much.
Alska Cider $10,
Strwberry & Lime fruit Cider
Swedish cider, 4.0% alcohol. Alcohol taste is stronger. Not much fruity taste.
Sweet Potatoes Fries $8.90,
The portion was too little, and the fries was not really nice.
Breakfast Beef Burger $13.90,
Topped with a sunny side-up and stacked with strips of bacon, grilled onions, portobello mushrooms, cheese, and thick and juicy beef patty.
It was really a good burger, beef was thick, fresh and juicy.
Sloppy Mojoes $12.90,
Ground beef, cheese and salsa mix.
The salsa mix was not really good, i wouldn't recommend it.

Fear no disappointment at Mojo Burps, other than its unceremoniously early closing time of 12am. Both its quality bar food and splendid selection of craft beers is good. Good place to chill.

The Handburger serves gourmet burgers crafted from the freshest and finest ingredients such as grass-fed prime beef patties, duck confit and oven baked portobello with a range of handmade sauces.

The Original $14.80,
beef patties with 100% New Zealand grass-fed cattle, Sweet onion jam, Cheddar Cheese, handmade bbq sauce, lettuce, tomato, and toasted caramelized onion bun.
The beef patty was too dry and the caramelized onions overwhelmingly sweet.
Chicken Caesar $12.80,
Baked chicken thigh wrapped with bacon, fresh mozzarella, sauteed Brazil pesto mushroom , handmade caesar dressing, lettuce, tomato, toasted sun-dried tomato with olive bun.
The chicken was a bit tough and the olive bun was too sour.
